Check out the winner of the "
Wayne Reynolds Draws Your Character" contest over at EN World. Wayne is probably my favorite D&D artist ever, and certainly my favorite of the crop currently working on official D&D product. His work is really remarkable, and perfectly captures the D&D feel (and especially the Third Edition feel).
One of the things that makes Wayne such a great artist is that he genuinely loves D&D. I first became aware of him after my friend
Sean Reynolds got him to do interiors in
Slavers! a late-era Greyhawk book. I may have the lore wrong, but I think Wayne emailed Sean because he was a Greyhawk fan, and that was how he started his work on the game. The point is the man can draw, and he's got great taste.
And he's just turned in one of his most incredible paintings ever for the final installment of the Age of Worms Adventure Path. It serves as a perfect capstone to the series and a great follow-up to the first Age of Worms cover,
Dungeon #124.
