Next from Goodman Games art..

| Mean to add some close ups later to this |
Now a couple of sketches used for the artwork shown last year [grin].
Finally, cannot remember if I shown this before, but this was the very last piece of work that I was doing [slowly] for Games Workshop, which they never saw as it was unfinished and they decided to severe company we me. It only exists as a small jpeg but here it is.
Happy 2016 to you all.
That last piece is amazing! It's a shame that it no longer exists.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year Russ!
Happy New Year to you too. Those FF pieces are how I first encountered your work. I even colored some of them in . . . Being 9 or 10 it seemed like the best move. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy new year Russ. I still recall the joy of reading those first Fighting Fantasy game books in the school library when I was eight. Your artwork continues to bring me joy. God bless you. May this year be one of good health and happiness for you.

ReplyDeleteIs the face of that Chaos Warrior in the final painting based on Oliver Reed?
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
ReplyDeleteA fantastic sample of your work. Whatever that wizard is summoning is truly bizarre.

Thanks for muc for sharing you talent, a joy always yo send your artwork. Game workshop are poorer for loosing your contributions
ReplyDeleteGreat work.
ReplyDeleteI just love this post :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting, I remember one or two of these from many years ago, when I used to buy the magazine and get inspired by the art. I'm a artist now and getting back into the fantasy art.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, too.
ReplyDeleteI hope to see more posts in the future :) Is there anywhere I can find original artwork for sale?
ReplyDeleteI'd like to reiterate some of the above comments - your departure from the GW retinue was truly their loss (and ours!).
ReplyDeleteAnd, I'd love to see some of your art available for sale - either originals or prints.
Your gorgeous style has stuck with me for many years, ever since first seeing it in various GW books back in the 80s.
Thank you for sharing these.
I certainly hope 2016 is proving a better one than the last.
cheers!
I really like the seventh picture. What is that from?
ReplyDeleteLong time since I've been here Todd thus the delay. 7th? The cyclops? I think it was for White Dwarf. But more info might come from the Facebook fan site that exists [where I 'grabbed' it].
DeleteBeautiful work. The Fiend Folio taught me how to draw. I've learned from other artists over the years,but I still recognize your influence on my art. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks and hope your art goes well.
