Some 2011 color Artwork for XRP Press
Posted: November 15, 2011 Filed under: art, publishing 2 CommentsI just got back into town the other day and am still trying to get caught up, so I thought I would post some stuff I did for XRP Press earlier this year. There are 4 artworks (front cover and back) for “Down the Shadowvein” and “In the Mouth of the Shadowvein” by Joseph Browning. Previews of the covers are here.
I don’t think either of these are in print yet (I haven’t gotten my copies yet) but are due out soon. XRP promises that these are possible followups to “The Pod Caverns of the Sinister Shroom” (which I also did cover art for).
Nicely done as always. I dig those crazy looking humanoids with the torso mouths.
Yeah — as far as I know, the ‘torso beasts’ are a monster form of bugbears — like some sort of werewolf-like magic disease-like condition that causes the bugbears to grow a big mouth on their torso and walk around on all fours like that. Sort of ‘John Carpenter:The Thing’ vibe going on there… which was a movie that really freaked me out back in the day..
