Monster Alphabet (back cover)

The above illustration is from the Goodman Games “Monster Alphabet” leather edition. This image was printed in metallic foil on the back cover of this special edition of that book… so imagine the black parts of the above image are brown leather and the white parts are printed in gold foil. Link to the book on Goodman’s site. Goodman also sold a version with a regular (color) cover and a faux leather and foil edition. I did the artwork for the leather and faux leather editions… the color cover was by Jim Holloway. Interior art in all three books by Jeff Easley, Fritz Haas, Jim Holloway, Doug Kovacs, Diesel LaForce, William McAusland, Brad McDevitt, Peter Mullen, Russ Nicholson, Erol Otus, Chad Sergesketter, Chuck Whelon, Michael Wilson and myself.

One of my favorite pages from the Monster Alphabet was the ‘dice drop’ table designed by Jobe Bittman and then ‘prettied up’ for publication by me:

In order to create a random mythological beast, one grabs a handful of 12 sided dice and drops them on the page — where they land tells you how the creature looks, if it has wings, etc. They call this a ‘dice drop’ table.
