Behold Greyhawk, one of my illustrations for the 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide! Perhaps the piece I'm proudest of from the past year. I was able to take this one about 70% of the way to finish in acrylics, a major milestone for me.
The final D&D piece I get to share for now, from Forgotten Realms: Adventures in Faerun! Plus the painting (acrylic, 12x16) when it was in progress while I was visiting my in-laws in China this past winter.

I was incredibly honored to paint this one (acrylic, 16x12 in.), because Shadowdale is one of THE most iconic places in all of Faerun!

'Telflamm' Illustration for 'Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun' from D&D. A very challenging piece! On the left (click on it) the final version that saw print. To the right, a progress shot of the acrylic painting. Behind the painting you can see one of my 'models', my cat Loki! AD: Emi Tanji

I'm getting very antsy to reveal five pieces I painted for D&D's new Forgotten Realms books starting most of a year ago! More on this in a week, when I'm back from Dubai.

Very much looking forward to my trip to Dubai this weekend for the inaugural 'Tabletop.ME' event! It'll be my second trip to this most palatial city of the Middle East. Drop by and check out some cool art if you're also there!

I want to talk about generative AI because of the defeatist impulses chronicled in this article. While simply expresssing a defiant attitude cannot always change lived-in reality, in certain cases it definitely can. This is in part because, early on, a conflict can exist at a perceptions level. 1/?
