Paizo Spotlights Adam Vehige’s Work on Pathfinder

February 6, 2009

What do Paizo’s Pathfinder and EpicTable have in common? Well, one thing is Adam Vehige.

A recent article on the Paizo site discusses Adam’s work in several of the Pathfinder Society scenarios. I’ve blogged about Adam Vehige’s work before, but for those who don’t know, Adam’s the talented artist behind the EpicTable dragon.

I first saw Adam’s work when I was shopping for someone to create an iconic persona for EpicTable. Since then, I’ve followed his work on Orc Wars and now, Pathfinder. I’m looking forward to seeing more from Adam in the future. Meanwhile, you can see more at Adam Vehige’s deviantArt page.

I needed a logo, but what I wanted was a mascot. As a long-time Iron Maiden fan, I wanted my virtual tabletop to have its own Eddie—an iconic character to represent my product line through the many versions, twists and turns that lie ahead. Arguably, I spent way too much time trolling through online artist communities, but in the end, I found Adam Vehige. Read more

Welcome to the Sideshow: The Dark Art of David Hartman

June 15, 2008

I don’t recall how I stumbled upon David Hartman’s site: http://www.sideshowmonkey.com/. Maybe I don’t remember how I got there because I spent the next couple hours lost in this dark little world he’s created.

Did I mention it’s dark? Yeah, a lot of David’s work is pretty dark, and it’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea (which is an oddly inappropriate expression to use when talking about monsters, zombies, and the like), but there’s a comic/pulp feel his work that I really like. Read more
