Marauders of the Dune Sea

Dungeons & Dragons Dark Sun supplement cover artwork.
© WOTC; D&D.

Acrylic, Approx 13" x 17".

Original artwork for sale; UK£1700.

The denizens of this place are as mean as the barren landscape they inhabit....

It was great to be able to work on the DnD Dark Sun setting. The gameworld already has a strongly established heritage and is populated by some of the wierder, and fun, DnD creatures.

This Thri-keen riding his steed exemplifies that perfectly, and I wanted to keep them as a clear focus for the piece. The Sun helps provide a focal point and strong value contrast to the foreground figures. It also enabled me to use a bold rim light, which again helps clarify the complex and interesting forms of the figures.

Full details of the product, including the image with all it's trade dress can be found here:

SO they're ant people rather than crab people... okay. That makes sense in a desert environment... but how do they speak? Are they all males with one very large queen? This is so interesting!

Great, thanks for bringing my apocalyptic vision this much closer to reality. Now how am I going to sleep? :D (Giant, intelligent insects inheriting the desert, etc)
