Scott's gaming and gaming-adjacent art

E is for Eye of the Deep, posted originally on 14 November 2011, the last watercolor I had in me for the series.

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.

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.

Second of that short-lived, incomplete series once attempted (back in 24 October 2011, this time) of Monster Manual monsters in watercolor: monsters of the alphabet. This is the bulette (pronounced boo'lay).

This was the first to use one of the old plastic chinasaur which served as the inspiration for the monster in D&D in the first place as a model for my watercolors. (I freehanded it from the attached specimen.)

Circa 1970s toy plastic figure (made in Hong Kong.)

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.
