Here is a piece I just contracted Russ Nicholson to create for me! Needless to say I'm very happy,
It shall take pride of place on my wall!

This picture is just weird.  What is it supposed to be of, exactly?
Specifically, what are those two goblins on the right doing?  
It looks like forcible prison flirting.
I'm not comfortable with it.

It looks like some secret deleted art from Silver Princess.


The owls are not what they seem...

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Is this a tavern gone horribly wrong, some sort of sick goblin abattoir, a torture chamber, all of the above?

And my wife and one son think my Jorune poster is "gross"...  :roll: . This takes the cake :).

EDIT: A dwarf with pointy ears? That's just wrong.

I just wanna know why the dwarf is pointing the axe at himself.   :D

I think all three pieces are well done.  They are also examples of what made the Fiend Folio so jarring.

Limits of the paper :) And a dwarf with a broadsword is not really sexy...

Wonderfull arts! These drawings make me remember of my first FF books.

Probably saw the pointy ears in the reflection and wants to chop them off  :D
