Tome Grotesque Art?

Unread post by sHaka »

I'm a huge fan of Jeff Russel's art, especially his DB10: Hades work, so I went off to check out his website.

I happened to notice in his work in progress section, a series of rather nasty, cool looking beings. Initially I wondered if these were concepts for Dyval, but it became evident that these monsters weren't very Dyvalian, especially with the inclusion of that one coming out of the loo!

If you look at the last row of thumbnails, one is entitled "Trans-dimensioanl Predator II" - that creature has been used in ads for the awaited BTS-2 suppliments in the back of some of the more recent books and the colour catalogue, I believe.

If that's the case, could we be looking at some of the nasties we can throw at our hapless investigators, hopefully in the not too distant future?

Here's hoping. :twisted:

You think that's frightening? You've never been to a Russian public loo. :p

But, yea, those illustrations are amazing.

By the way, was I in the wrong to tell the story of a toilet monster attack from the perspective of a 15 year old schoolgirl?

I feel like I stepped into naughty Japanese cartoon teritory.

You should try a public loo in Russia some time.

You'd wish that monster was the only disgusting thing going on. :P

Perhaps. But it is a solution nonetheless ;-)
