Isteval Concept Art |
Ultimately he was to be part of a large lineup of characters for the next Sundering adventure for Forgotten Realms. This was another layered image containing many characters I had addressed in some other covers for D&D as well as a few new ones.

Finally, the crew at D&D ended up putting together some pretty amazing stuff. They had a cinematic video created that featured Isteval in full 3 dimensional action walking around in a scene which also contained my stained glass window. I was completely floored when I saw all this. I never imagined my character coming to life like this. Huge thanks and congratulations to everyone at D&D that made this happen.

Jon also did a nice write up about mere here, discussing my time working with D&D over the years: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.aspx?x=dnd_4dreye_20130807
Much more to come. I am sorry for the delay in posting.
I'm a big D&D Forgotten Realms fan. Great artwork you have brought the characters to life.
ReplyDeleteHope to see more of your work in D&D.
Congrats man, looking stunning.
ReplyDelete*_* i could look at those piece of art all night long!amazing!
ReplyDeleteAmazing work, sir! I love characters like this who have history and a past.
ReplyDeleteI play online MMOs now, having 'retired' from DMing, and one thing these games lack is the option to create a truly grizzled veteran. Maybe, just maybe, the game companies will stop pandering to the 'youth' of the gaming world and realise that some of us would like to have in game representations nearer our own age and not the usual anime hunky heart throb lookalike.
Fantastic work - really loved this :)

ReplyDeleteDefinitely the best Elminster image I've ever seen and one of the best of Drizzt. It's so good that I'll be using this image of Elminster to finish my heros sleeve tattoo on my arm. Many thanks.
ReplyDeleteWell, that "Green Lantern"-ish (half?-)elf (the mask) with that terrible hairstyle and swollen face is not really a piece of art or design. Otherwise a nice picture.
ReplyDeleteI've been reading the Sundering novels and I love the covers. This composite image is a keeper!
ReplyDeleteI've been using audible to listen to the sundering. I must have listened to 300 hours so far and can't seem to get enough. I would definitely agree that your art brings the characters to life. Good Luck with future art
ReplyDeleteThe third to the left and the third to the right - who are they? Help please :-)

ReplyDeleteI'd Love to have a go at sculpting this character if you'll let me?
