richt Another beautiful Chris Huth illustration from Cavaliers of Mars, this time in crisp, detailed, black and white line-art. Aesthetically, this is a look that our recent projects have tended to move away from in favor of staying current with audience expectations of full color, or at least some color.

This is the art for the cover of Cavaliers of Mars by Chris Huth, and it just so strongly reminds me of Mike Mignola’s comic art for Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser, but even more detailed. Those comics were early 90s, and I was thrilled to be able to hire Mike Mignola some years later … Read more
Above you can see two of the sentient species in Cavaliers of Mars, illustrated in lovely b&w line-art by the multi-styled talent of Andrew Trabbold. That was a decision we made a couple of years ago, actually: to have all the interior art in Cavs by rendered line-art. The style works just right as it … Read more

This is going to be a short one, as this is very much a postGenCon, OMG I’m so tired but we had such a great convention, sort of post. Kudos to our whole team: Magic Matt McElroy who coordinated the whole furshlinger thing, and Bouncy Bill Bodden who ran the booth, who both made this … Read more
Okay, maybe not so brief! Things are in crazy going to GenCon mode now! A few things to catch up on since I was out last week, and then I’ll talk more about GenCon, or #GenCon50 as I’m told the preferred hashtag goes, after that. First, White Wolf‘s Storytellers’ Vault went live … Read more
