OK, that's enough news this morning. Everyone, post some of your favorite Dragon Magazine covers. Here's mine, from Issue 126 by Daniel Horne. I didn't actually encounter this piece in Dragon Magazine; I saw it repeatedly used by TSR in other promotional materials and fell in love with it.

#Fantasy#FantasyArt#Magazine#Dragon#DND#TTRPG

A giant, armor-clad skeleton bursts out from the snow. It wields a massive axe in one hand and arrows and broken sword blades stick out of it's undead remains. It looms over a surprised woman with long, brown hair wearing leathers and fur-trimmed winter clothes. She's knocking an arrow in her longbow in reaction to the undead monstrosity. She's in trouble, as her quiver is empty. A snow covered forest and mountains are in the background. The Dragon masthead is yellow and the rest of the text on the magazine cover is a darker grey that stands out against a yellowish-light gray background.

SPIRIT OF ENDURING HOPE (2016)
Acrylic on Mat Board - 12" x 9"

I turned a smear of paint on my drawing table cover into a tree. Other marks suggested rocks and became an island to which I added a figure. I started to paint in clouds but stopped because the image was getting boring.
1/3

A tiny female figure stands beneath a pair of tall, uneven evergreen trees rising off a rocky outcrop of shore. The sky is cloudy gray except for a warm band of dull orange defining the horizon. As tall as the massive trees, a monotone female figure floats nearby draped in cloth and holding out her hand. A ring of ginkgo leaves hovers nearby. Her hair is wild and wind tossed. The cloth covers only one shoulder exposing her other breast. Her knee is raised suggesting upward motion as if she is lifting off the shore.

“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!”
― Ursula K. LeGuin, paraphrasing J.R.R. Tolkien

THE DARK TOWER: KA-TET (2003)
Oil on Panel - 28" x 18"

Throughout the Dark Tower series, Stephen King portrayed Roland's group of fighters known as the Ka-Tet as a circle. 1/2

#horror #horrorart #fantasy #sciencefiction #sff #illustration #darktower #stephenking#rolanddeschain #eddiedean #susannahdean#jakechambers #oy #billybumbler

In the gruesome aftermath of the Battle of Devar-Toi, Roland huddles with his Ka-Tet, circling with arms reaching out to each other. Strewn about the bricked street are corpses of Vampires and Low Men, the latter depicted with various animal heads. They lay still, an afterthought of the violence reaped by the now joyous gunslingers. Susannah is seated on her bronze, balloon-wheeled ATV. An army star is painted on the fender. Jake and Roland stand in profile with the striped billy bumbler Oy straddling their arms. The high angle view of the Ka-Tet centers on Eddie Dean, who faces front, smiling for the moment. He stands out in his light blue shirt, unbuttoned to expose a darker t-shirt beneath and the shiny buckle of his gun belt.

Do you have a favourite author? Is your style influenced by them?

Maybe Mary Shelley... Loads of female authors and artists were such lovely, unabashed, eccentric characters that their stories inspire me. But honestly, the style doesn't influence me much beyond a certain fondness for having a bit of fun with arcane words and having Freya and Mona do a bit of bitchy sesquipedalian posh mean girl when it's called for.

Worlds of IF (September 1962)

I can't tell if those are ships or satellites and whether they're moving or not, but I love how the planet is above and the empty space is below.

I have searched in vain for a trace of the used book shop whose stamp is on this. I can practically smell the place!
