D is for Displacer Beast

AD&D, Monster Manual, Displacer Beast, Dragon Magazine, Scott's gaming and gaming-adjacent art

watercolor

This #watercolor entry, released 7th of November, 2011, abandons the notion of using toys as models. I don't think I even penciled it, and I think it shows (though there was a prior pencil sketch attempted). I still think it's cute, though.

So for D is for Displacer Beast, I had a little assistance from Mickelson, B., “Ecology of the Displacer Beast”, Dragon Magazine #109, TSR, 1986.

watercolor, toy

Third of that short-lived, incomplete series once attempted (back in 3 November 2011, a late entry) of Monster Manual monsters in #watercolor: monsters of the alphabet. It's the carrion crawler, present in nigh every edition and iteration of the game.

Like the previous entry, this was also based on a #toy, this time something officially licensed: LJN Toys' bendable rubber critter.

Part of a short-lived (and incomplete) series I once attempted (back in 20 October 2011) of Monster Manual monsters in #watercolor: monsters of the alphabet. This is the larval form of the #Anhkheg from the 1977 book.
