RPG Illustration: The Gruffs
« on: February 12, 2010, 03:15:32 PM »
I finished this illustration for the Dresden Files RPG last night, and Fred gave me permission to post it here.  It's three of the Gruffs from Small Favor: one of the youngest brothers, the much-loved Eldest Brother Gruff, and "Tiny" looming in the background.

It's meant to be viewed small (3"x3"), but you can view a slightly larger version by clicking on the image.



The RPG is chock-full of great illustrations from a horde of awesome artists, and I'm thrilled to be a part of the action.  Thanks, Fred!

Awesome Sauce Priss! 

It looks like a frickin' Grimm fairy tale illustration (except for the SMG)  ;D

I sometimes wonder if the manufactures of foolproof items keep a fool on their payroll to test things.

These books might be worth their salt by all the amazing illustrations alone. If this is Our World, then I can't wait to see more from our other monstrous friends.

Sweet.  Too bad it'll be small.  It looks so good.    :D

Thanks so much for the kind words, everyone!

These books might be worth their salt by all the amazing illustrations alone. If this is Our World, then I can't wait to see more from our other monstrous friends.

Absolutely.  Then the books are worth their salt all over again with the comprehensive character and creature guides, then again for the chapters on occult Chicago and Dresdenverse-ified Baltimore, then again for the reams of RPing wisdom to elevate the standards of game play, and that's all before you get to the actual game, which is exquisitely realized, and worth another ten or twelve pillars of salt.  We're talking Lot's Wife amounts of salt these books are worth.

They're humanoid goat creatures.  And you're worried about which hand they use to hold a gun? :D
