Practically all of the original Dungeons & Dragons artwork that I created during my time at TSR was destroyed. Let's bring it back!
This project is the 5th installment of my ongoing effort to re-create my old TSR / Dungeons & Dragons artwork – which was destroyed* by some thoughtless functionary to make room in TSR’s files. Last time, I re-created twelve drawings from the 1980 AD&D module 'Expedition to the Barrier Peaks'! This time I’m re-creating twenty-two drawings from the Melnibonean chapter of the original 1980 edition of the AD&D book called ‘Deities and Demigods’. These drawings were removed after the 2nd printing of the book, making them especially rare!
Listen to an interview including a discussion of my efforts to re-create the lost TSR art here.The new artwork will be posted to my DeviantArt page (jeffdee.deviantart.com) as it's completed, so you can see how they turned out. You can see the re-creations I've done so far here.
BONUS! Everyone who pledges $45 or more will also receive a signed, 8 1/2" x 11" print of a re-creation of this drawing - 'Lolth in Amber' - from D3 Vault of the Drow!
