Thread 96379040

Ideally lower fantasy or old school? Looking for more than character art. Looking for art that piques your imagination. Preferably basic bitch medieval fantasy, but post what inspires you.

Please no AI

Posting a few to get the thread started

great piece. the peacock feather helmet is so good.

>>96379040 (OP)
Man I should reread Dragonlance

>>96379040 (OP)
There's some cool art in this thread. Thanks OP and anyone else who's contributed.

Always liked this piece.

Anyone else enjoy evil campaigns?

Howard Pyle's woodcuts and chromolithographs are what fantasy looks like, to me. My folks read them to us as kids.

Unfathomably based thread

>>96381444
lithographs are amazing for fantasy artwork

He really was the GOAT. Some of his stuff was a little goofy, but, he defined the look of D&D

I personnally use music for ideas. Since someone posted >>96379178 I thought I'd suggest listening to power metal for ideas. The Mystic Prophecy of the Demon Knight by Rhapsody was my inspiration for the best DnD camapign I ever run.

>>96383171
It should be at least a little goofy

>>96383122

Too bad so much of his talent was wasted on the dumpster fire of Dragonlance.

>>96383289
How did Castle Grayskull get there!?

>>96383238
Dragonlance was hot shit when it was new. Also I will fight you.

>>96383407
Dragonlance was for den moms whose kids played D&D, and that one obnoxious guy who was in your group anyhow and just wanted to play Tasslehoff in every. fucking. game. I mean the DM screen allowed a 1st level fighter to start the game w/ a -2 AC. But my love for Laurana can never be denied.

>>96383653
Everyone in my group wanted to be Raistlin. So just imagine a team of three mages who were all infirm and trying to troll everyone else. We died practically immediately. I was trying to be Sturm myself.

>>96384018
Then you lucked out. The reason everyone in D&D hates Kender is because everyone else knew that one annoying motherfucker who played them that way. >>96379680 is the hottest picture in fantasy.

>>96384131
>An entire race of autistic kleptomaniacs who know no boundaries and can't even understand fear. They also have the racial skill to taunt. And are encouraged to be as annoying as possible.

I still kind of like Tasslehoff

>>96381406
yes, they're fun to play and fun to GM

>>96379049
"pssst, hey knight; want some princesses? We've got some nice princesses in our tomb here..."

>>96379434
this is the third of fourth time ive seen a different depiction of this same scene
wtf is it?

>>96389028
Knight at the Crossroads, Viktor Vasnetsov (1882)

just a painting about bogatyrs, the eastern european equivalent to knight errants

>>96383407
Dragons of Summer Flame and everything that came after was tepid gamer girl bathwater, though.

>>96389825
I heard as much. I haven't really read any of the newer books. The original trilogy, the twins series and a scattering of spinoffs and others. But if I let every later installment of something I liked effect the stuff I used to like then I wouldn't like anything

>>96383209
Too soon.
Bargle will die.
>>96383238
>doesn't like Dragonlance
>no pic
Typical.
>>96389862
Stay strong! The kids don't know.

First time seeing this
This is amazing, I think I jizzed my pants

>>96386658
>wizard girl giving that look to the left
you just know

>>96389789
Reminds me of a ridiculous fear I had as a little kid. I had imagined a creature called "The Dark" (essentially a shadowy horror that resembled a rotting humanoid raven dressed in black druid robes) lived in the deepest, darkest woods, but also spied on little kids from the edge of any wooded area.
I had nightmares for months that it was trying to bite me through my bedroom window at night.

Hey, I was just talking about Caspar David Friedrich in another thread. I love the romantic painters. To round out Gude let's also have some Waterhouse. Here's my favorite of the ladies of Shalott, although the only one that ever gets posted is... holy shit, shockingly not in this thread. Alright, next then.

>>96397844
And here's the one that everyone sees constantly. It was a set of 3. The one where she's gettin horny at Lancelot isn't as good.

And while on the topic of the lady of shalott, if you like those, >>96397294, take a look at his fully-chromolithographed version of the lady of shalott (which >>96381451 is from). You can find the whole thing online here: https://archive.org/details/the-lady-of-shalott/page/n17/mode/2up

My own 1st edition of it is all kinds fucked up (pic related), but the scans don't quite do it justice.

>>96397937
Thx anon!

>>96397937
appreciate it anon
have this pic as a sign of my gratitude

>>96393832
meh, it's all I had, and it was inspirational - fuck off and post art, you no art faget.

>>96379040 (OP)

>>96400988

I love Bronze Age man.

>>96379133

>>96414824
Also known as "Why are Priestesses of Loviatar better than everyone else?"

I liked when the old boxed sets came with these. Here are the ones from my favorite setting, Astromundi.
