0 CommentsHere's another cover that I finished recently, but haven't had the time to share. It was for the cover to the Azamar Player's Guide by the excellent folks over at Wicked North Games. They were a pleasure to work with, and have posted a few work-in-progress shots on their blog, as well as an interview with yours truly.

0 Comments It's been a while since I've been able to update my blog, but that's only because I've been buried under a mountain of work! Nothing has changed in that regard, but I thought I'd better get something up here, so people don't think I've disappeared completely. Just a couple quick pieces, and them back to work for me.
This is a Venom piece that I did primarily for fun, and secondarily as a promo piece. I posted it on twitter a while back, but forgot to put it up here. See why you should be following me? @tylerwalpole

And this is a cover for Paizo's Free RPG Day book for this year.

0 Comments Yup, that's right. Here we've got a fearless (or, y'know...suicidal) barbarian charging straight at a 20 foot tall mech with a positron glider strapped to its back. This was an interior illustration for the Pathfinder Campaign Setting Inner Sea Guide Book. For those of you that don't play Pathfinder, this is a book designed to explore the world that the Role Playing Game is set in.
So..yeah. Here you go!

0 CommentsThe Diamond Previews catalog hit the stands yesterday. In addition to my cover for D&D #3, my first cover for Dynamite Entertainment is as well. Its for Mercy Thompson: Moon Called #5. It is a comic adaptation of the first book in Mercy Thompson series of novels by Patricia Briggs. I haven't read the novel series yet, but I really enjoyed the first issue of the comic. Lots of magic and mayhem, in a modern setting! Anyway, here it is!

You can see it with the trade dress here.

0 CommentsHere's my most recent cover for IDW's D&D comic, and my favorite of the bunch so far. The original idea was to have Adric (the poor guy in the middle) being ambushed by a bunch of orcs. Having done a cover similar to that in the past, I thought I'd try something a little different. I'm pretty pleased with the result, and hope you are too!

0 Comments This image represents a couple firsts for me. This is my first cover for the main rule book for any game system, which is quite an honor, actually, because the folks that play the game will see this image a lot, and hopefully enjoy it, and draw some inspiration from it. Also, it is my first wraparound cover, which presented some interesting challenges in composition. I really appreciated the almost letterbox format, as there is a LOT of stuff going on in this image.
So here you go, Fantasy Hero 6th Ed for Hero Games, art directed by Fred Hicks.

0 CommentsNext up is my cover to Paizo's Orcs of Golarion. This is easily one of my favorite overs from the last year...big ol' monster fight. What's not to love?

On a related note...when I Googled the title of this book to get the link, the first two things that came up in the auto-fill were "Orcs of Golarion PDF" and "Orcs of Golarion torrent". Sigh. Tabletop gaming is not a growing industry my friends. You want more and better games out there for you and your gaming friends to play? Try supporting both the companies whose books you enjoy, and your local retailer (or, y'know, Amazon) and actually BUY their products.
