The Secret Lair
Been on a D&D kick lately? Time to break out the books?
You know it! I don’t have an original edition Monster Manual around any more, though I’d swear at one point I did recently. They do seem to have caught my attention, though.
On a more technical note, I tried using more gradients and layers on this Flash-colored illustration. I got some surprising effects on the feathers that I liked a lot.
I think I saw that on Warcraft 3.
WoW has something sort of similar, but they wear hoods and have antlers, I think. And they’re fatter. This is the D&D style monster.
The feathers are really cool.
I was thinking about requesting this in the companion section. This thought lead me to wonder what kind of adventurer would have an Owlbear as a companion.
“Come along Owlbear… No Owlbear! Put me down! Bad Owlbear! Ba–(death rattle)”
AD&D is awesome. Many fond memories. I still have my original blue MM, but the binding is being held on with duct tape. I’d fortunately found another one while treasure hunting at a used book store, so I’ve got a near perfect copy as well. 🙂
Good times…..
what no men-bear pig!
I like the lighting. Kind of looks like someone is shining a flashlight on it. Perhaps a dark cave background and a yellow stream would complete the effect. 🙂
One thing pops into my mind. World of Warcraft. 😛
AWSOME best picture yet AWSOMENESS through the roof!!!!!!!!
Connor, yes, as we said a few comments back, WoW took the Owlbear model and added a hood, clawed feet, and reindeer antlers.
Atomic Punk, that’s exactly the effect I was going for, glad you caught that!
And thanks Tristan!
dude alsome monster what did you get it off of warcrafts lol jk man jk.
