Hammerfast



Back in the Fall of 2009 I had a rare opportunity to do some pen and ink drawings for a Dungeons and Dragons project called Hammerfast. I was in the midst of preparing for a trip to Paris when I began the assignment and I couldn't finish before I left so I took approved sketches with me, refined them and prepared them to be inked while I was in France. I inked them as soon as I returned home so I could get them in to a very understanding art director. None of that has much to do with the final drawings themselves but my illustrations for Hammerfast will always be linked with that trip in my mind.

The two drawings posted above are from the Hammerfast project. They depict a dwarven ghost, a dead sentinel roaming the walls of a city and a three-headed dragon named Calastryx.

  2. Thank you, James. I don't think I've ever seen any of your pen and ink work but I'd love to one of these days.
