Recently, I was asked to design/update, some creatures for D&D called Hengeyokai. The particular ones I worked on took the form of a Badger and Hare. I also did some small illustrations showcasing these characters in October's issue of Dragon Magazine (404).
This brings me to some other characters I have worked on for D&D over the past year or so. Jon Schindehette has put me to the task of creating a number of heroes the latest D&D Character Option books. You have probably seen some of these guys popping up in the D&D products and if you are illustrating for D&D then you have probably received them as reference. So I thought I would share them all. Here are a few from the Feywild as well as some Elemental Characters
Many more to come at a later date....
wow man, that badger character is amazing. Great stuff all around as usual :)
ReplyDeleteAs I said before, these are so damn awesome. Those character designs are so nice, man. I love the vertical pieces, you handled the compositions amazingly.
ReplyDeleteOUTSTANDING! Those pieces are so great! Bunny versus samurai, BUNNY WINS! :D
ReplyDeleteThe personality that comes through with the various character designs is great, and I love the faces of the samurai in 'Hare'.
ReplyDeleteThese look really good; I like the Satyr and the red devil guy the best!
ReplyDeleteAs always, incredible work man. Love the Rabbit and the Hare. It was really fun (and an honor) getting a couple of your characters for reference on my last gig for WotC. I hope to see many more of your references in the future... at least then I'll have a valid excuse for stealing from you :).

ReplyDeleteDude, there's something wrong with the badger chick... aren't they supposed to have six boobs?? =P
ReplyDeleteAs for the character designs, I told you aready - they are simply fantastic! When I got them as a reference for the Feywild art, I was fascinated and wondered who did those pieces. Well, now I know - and by knowing that, not a big surprise. You're damn talented!
yeah, seriously wow. *love* the character designs. these are exactly the kind of thing that makes people want to play characters like that. inspiring stuff.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! And yes Eva, I had actually originally designed her with 6 boobs, might have been 8, but I thought Wizards might not dig that. So I toned it down. They are supposed to be Human animal hybrids so I went to the human side for boobage, haha.
ReplyDeleteThat's really beautiful work, Tyler!! The characterization reminds me of Miyazaki's PomPoko.. =)
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing what people come up with as arrangements for that long vertical template Wizards has. Awesome. I freakin' love the character designs across the board. I've received a couple of these as reference too, and wondered who designed them. Always nice to get reference that's actually inspiring. Nice work man!
ReplyDeleteTell me about it Adam. Every single time I get one, I say, wow that is narrow and tall. How I am going to deal with this. It always looks fatter once I start getting stuff in the frame. Always a challenge.
