Description
AD&D canon (official) style Firenewt!
In 1981 the Fiend Folio came out to mixed reviews but I always loved the book and did some quick illustrations from it last night that I will upload over the next few days.
Based upon Alan hunters illustration on pg 37, with the shield from pg 36) is my attempt to capture the style from the book.
The Firenewt was first imagined by Albie Fiore for the Fiend Folio and this is Albie's description (a few excerpts).
"These distant relatives of the lizard men live in sun-baked rocky hills, volcanic regions or any other locale which tends to be hot, dry and sometimes sulphurous, whether above or below ground. They are sometimes known as salamen."
"All firenewts have a limited breath weapon. Once per turn they can breathe fire on a foe immediately in front of them and within a 5' range for 1-6 points of damage (a successful saving throw indicates half damage)."
"Firenewts are cruel marauders - if firenewts are encountered they will usually be the members of a hunting party. They delight in torturing and roasting victims alive before feasting on them."
"Description: A typical firenewt is a mottled sepia colour, darkest along the spine and fading to near-white on the belly. The smooth flesh and features are eel-like, though the flesh is dry. The eyes are deep crimson. Females are slightly shorter than males (about 5%' tall) and are a duller brown. The young are light in colour, darkening progressively as they approach maturity."
The above is copywrite 1981 to TSR hobbies and is used within fair use.

I really love your "faux" engraving style. I was wondering do you start with a black board and add white on or do you draw black on white and inverse the colours on the computer?
