Stout is (in my experience) a really kind person too. I’ve never worked with him, but after I graduated college a million years ago, I sent him an email with a few questions. I expected nothing back, but he was a champ and sent me several paragraphs of meaningful thoughts and experiences.

I knew that was yours! Really stunning at how expansive it is while still having details and areas of interest to draw us in.

Thank you for the art share! My name is Brian and I work as an illustrator for DnD, MtG, and Arkham horror. I also sometimes work as a costume illustrator.

It looks great on the page! …is this a contributor copy? I haven’t seen mine yet…

So crisp but painterly! Really awesome that you decided to make originals in oil.

Reign: the Conqueror? Not sure if it would be considered “good” but was interesting when it aired. Peter Chung character designs.

Back when grim and darkness had ironic punk pizzazz and back banners for everyone!

Ah yes that lingering ghost. Mine visits every few days.
If you haven’t heard from them for awhile that doesn’t mean it was bad work, it really may just mean they are trying to figure out what sort of upcoming projects are a good fit.

Well earned! You’ve been so dedicated to your growth over the years. I hope it was a fun gig for you. I’m so excited to see them

Brilliant! I can hear the vocals and raging guitar. That is some oldhammer RED!

That red…entity…is somehow the most terrifying in the bunch.

Really wonderful combination of bold shapes with a really natural looking soft edged haze. Beautiful use of that tomato orange/red too.
