Next up is the TSR Grenadier Reptile (Alligator or Crocodile?) headed Rakshasa. Even though on the package it doesn't clarify, I found in their Grenadier Consume Catalogue 1982 it is listed as a Reptilian Rakshasa

This concept art was attributed to Jeff Dee in an auction many years ago. I asked Jeff about the work since it didn't totally come across as his to me. The notation on the bottom of the sheet sort of resembles the same handwriting as the one on the Elephant Rakshasa, but it's hard to tell.
For the sheet on the right. Jeff thought at first it was his work. However then thought it wasn't.
The sheet on the left appears (to me) to be David Sutherland's work.

I can't tell what the handwritten notes are on the sheets from the screen captures, but hopefully there are better photos available still.
These screen captures are the only images I've found, so the resolution obviously isn't great.

The pic is fuzzy, but I agree the left sketch looks like Sutherland, the right Willingham.

Next up are some Gnoll drawings by David Sutherland. Even though they may have been considered to be simply general Gnoll sketches Dave had done, I think these may really have been produced for the TSR Grenadier figure(s) that appeared in the Denizens of the Swamp box set.




The sketches show the gnolls with the similar head gear, other armor and to some extent pose as the minis. Also, these three sketches were found with a bunch of other art or photocopies of art & notes relating to the TSR Grenadier work, so I don't think it's far-fetched to tie these together (even though there were other art pieces in the pile).

What do you all think?

Next ones:
the concept art for one of the characters/figures in the Grenadier 8002 Action Art box set. The Drow Captain drawn by Erol Otus from a concept by designer Kevin Hendryx.

The other concept art is by David Sutherland for Mary Hendryx's concept of a cleric and a fighter character. The figure appeared in the Grenadier 2007 Females box set
