In case any D&D/Fantasy folks need a cute calendar for 2021: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/babybestiary/baby-bestiary-2021-calendar/ Story Owlbear cubs The Baby Bestiary 7th Annual Calendar Each year, since the inception of the Baby Bestiary, we've put together an annual calendar featuring a new talented artist to illustrate to bring to life our adorable calendar. With a different artist, we can explore the adorable through their eyes, see them experiment with new styles and interpretations of what the Baby Bestiary means to them. With every passing year, we’ve had amazing pieces that have resonated with our community. Artist Feature: Kelsey Hi everyone! My name is Kelsey, also known around the internet as Keymonster or just Key. I am a full-time, freelance artist and illustrator working out of the Pacific Northwest. My creative passions center around animals, plants and the fantastical worlds they exist in. I love creating plant/animal hybrids and integrating botanical motifs and imagery into the worlds that I build as well as creating adorable little creatures of all shapes and sizes getting into a bunch of mischief. http://www.km-illustration.com/ Features for 2021 This year we're launching a little late but we've had April start working on the pieces already and we're on track to finish the calendars on time!

Happy Birthday Morihalda I hope you have a lovely day with lots of artsy presents!!! AAARRROOOOO!!!!!

I'm looking at picking up some tube paints for basic colors to start trying and wanted to just get five basic colors. What would be the best colors to pick up? Also, was thinking of going with Liquitex, but have never tried these kinds of paints before, so if anyone has any ideas on brands to suggest, I'm listening. Cadmium Yellow (Deep) Titanium White Burnt Umber Cerulean Blue Alizarin Crimson or Cadmium Red (Deep) Possibly also Mars Black Was also looking at the Iridescent Effects to add. I plan on using these to paint my larger models (lots of dragons). Also, is there a different primer I should consider as well?

David Trampier has passed away. You probably have seen his most famous work, the idol from the cover of 1st Edition AD&D Players Handbook. http://www.tor.com/blogs/2014/03/david-a-trampier-obituary RIP, Tramp.

I have always loved the artwork that runs with the minis in Casketworks, the design sketches and the like, does anyone know where I can find the artist's link /gallery?
