The interior spread illo you did for the 'Trolltooth Wars' and some of the work in 'Blacksand' used to make me rethink my heroics in various RPG's!<br /><br />Great stuff =)Sixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10014779923347039656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741473921839627038.post-47450502756103363162013-02-26T09:15:14.574+00:002013-02-26T09:15:14.574+00:00Thank you Mike much appreciated.

Look out for a post soon, which will contain some FF 'redraws and really tiny spots done for GW's Doctor Who game.

I noticed your art in that book, then was just flipping through "The Fiend Folio" and was struck by the "RUSS" illustrations. Having done illustration work myself, your long and prolific career is an inspiration!Mike Loewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03573446219744863924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741473921839627038.post-37839476120359177342013-02-22T18:25:13.195+00:002013-02-22T18:25:13.195+00:00lAUGH ..

STILL COLD.<br />Thanks for the comments Andy .. yes I posted the death knight at original size [which I am now about to change] so people could see it as such, but then that is unfair to the person who paid for it I think, thus it will shrink.<br />Yes quite busy thanks, though not earning any fortune [laugh] just about to do a speculative piece [completely different in style] for Steve Jackson, working on a T-shirt, and a book cover and maybe about to embark on a bigger project. So watch this space ... or not. Keep well. As for your scans of my stuff ...please send and I'll show off as before.

Love the ...Hope you have warmed up Russ,great work. Love the big Fiend Folio Deathknight rework.It would be great to see more new FF pieces.Your Space Marine pieces from White Dwarf are excellent. I remember going through all my early WD's hunting for your artwork. I scanned any I found, which was quite a lot, you sir are one busy fellow, the art is always highly detailed and professionally executed.Thanks for the on going inspiration my friend.ATOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11174747472998540913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741473921839627038.post-81701896445919173982013-02-21T08:06:10.365+00:002013-02-21T08:06:10.365+00:00Easy, click on the profile where there should be a...Easy, click on the profile where there should be an email link and I'll send you a fee list by [more or less] return.

I'm very glad to have chanced upon it. I've been a fan of your wonderful work since I first laid eyes on The Fiend Folio as a little sprout. I remember bunches of us kids gathered around one book staring in wonder at your Githyanki, the Blindheim, the desperate fight with the Grell...The Measel ambush, etc...<br /><br />Funny you should post these pictures today...I've been studying those 2 drawings of the Space Marines with the teeth on their helmets for the last couple of weeks, wondering if I possess the ability to paint my little box of recently acquired Rogue Trader Marines in a similar fashion...I probably don't but I think I'm going to try anyway...Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16662424384597893661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741473921839627038.post-44605405038367016672013-02-20T17:12:58.810+00:002013-02-20T17:12:58.810+00:00Ah...so YOU are the one that drew those particular...Ah...so YOU are the one that drew those particular Space Marine pics. I guess that explains why I always thought they were great while most other SM depictions stroke me as a bit goofy. :)<br /><br />Also, awesome Death Knight re-draw! If I was publishing an OSR bestiary I'd be sure to hire your services. By the way, where can folks obtain info on how much you charge for small B&W commissions?Vargrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11511648623917764616noreply@blogger.com
