Commissions are open.
Here’s a recent one. Portraits of you, your characters or the people you love, painted by hand. Or put yourself in the story with a Story Frame, a scene from your own adventure.
Two slots a month. Details in the reply.
Granamyr disapproves.
I watched the new MOTU movie on @KevinLamb74’s rave reviews. My kids and I both had He-Man birthday parties. I really wanted to love this movie, but it just sucks. It felt like bad community theater with a budget.
Rent it once, if you must.
One week until Annals of the Auran Empire launches from Autarch on Nov 3.
I painted the Shadowblade cover, classic fantasy done the old way. Can’t wait to see it out in the world. @archon

An old sketch from years ago, just for fun: how I thought a beholder could look, with all ten eye rays. I always found this particular monster to be facinating and fun. Which eye ray would you least want to be hit by? #Beholder #DnD #FantasyArt #MonsterArt #TTRPG
I’ve worked as a storyboard artist in the ad industry for years. All day I draw scenes like this one: people talking, reacting, selling something.
This time I “used my powers for good” and storyboarded one just for me!
As a kid I drew because I wanted to be in the adventure. I’m still that kid, just older.
So here I am, watching Lord of the Rings with Professor Tolkien. A pint each, the Argonath on the screen, and him telling me what he really thought of the film.
Imagination isn’t something you outgrow. Don’t be afraid to play, to put yourself in the story and to draw what you love. Keep having fun with your art.
Have you ever imagined watching the Lord of the Rings movies with their author?
What would you ask him?

I'm now drawing these for other people too. One cinematic frame with you in the scene, B&W or color, digital or a hand-drawn original. Details: mikeperryart.com/commissions
DL5 Dragons of Mystery was one of the first modules I ever bought, along with DL4 and DL6. It's well loved. Around grade 7 I loved Larry Elmore's artwork so much that I colored it in with Laurentian markers to make it even better. At the back I also filled out the TSR questionnaire. I checked "Yes, I am a Dragonlance game DM," and when asked why I wasn't in a campaign I wrote "Because everybody wants me as the Dungeon Master." Swipe to see what 12-year-old me thought. What was your first module?
Old-school Dragonlance art. Music to my ears. I grew up colouring DL5 with markers, and I’ve spent the last couple of years redesigning the cast in that classic style. Here’s my Verminaard.
Beach Zombie, rough sketch to final color (2012). A friend working in a morgue showed it to a senior pathologist, who said the bite, veining, bruising and crushed shoulder were accurate. Which stage do you like best?
First skate of the season with the Sr. Men’s shinny crew. Totally bagged, and the best I’ve felt all week.
I spend most of my days at the drawing table, and it’s easy to let work eat everything. Activities like this wear me out physically but recharge the batteries in a way nothing else does.
So this is your reminder: get out with the boys, play something, live a little. All work and no play is a bad deal.
What’s the thing that recharges you?
