Some bits are nice - you needn't put yourself down. The devoured soul and robkonne are both quite cool. Any stats?
One quibble - aren't giant spiders supposed to have 8 rather than 6 legs?

The devoured soul is excellent. The rest are so-so, not that I can draw, but I think giving the characters a bit of movement would do them wonders.

Anyway, carry on regardless! I want to see more. :D
I might colour a few in later for a laugh (bare in mind my laters are later).
Everything I say is true!

The spider has two little tiny legs in the front. They kind of look like pincers though. Sadly, no stats, just ideas for monsters. I used to be pretty good at drawing from comic books when I was a kid, but sadly, I let that talent get rusty.

Charlatan, if you feel like coloring them, go to town. If anyone wants to use them, go ahead as well. This is an excuse to start drawing again, and I always did really enjoy drawing monsters. I used to have a lot of art lying around, but I lost most of it. I even had a phase when I threw some of it out. Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking.

I should have some more drawings up fairly soon.

Hehe, maybe when I get more practice in, I will put myself down less. :)

I did a few more drawings, mostly drawn from the AD&D MMII book.

I think the Basidirond turned out pretty good, but it had some glare when I scanned it. I've been drawing them all with Papermate pen. :)

Ya I did the same thing almost 20 years ago - not sure what my brain was doing, but I regret throwing it out.

"Bad Art" wtf? I think it looks pretty good... better than my stick-men! LOL

I put the Behir monster up on page 3 today. I messed up the feet and arms a bit, but I think he turned out fairly well.

Hi,

the artwork is not bad at all. It shows the monster in a pose and gives a little detail. I'd buy that for a $1.00. 8-)

Yeah, Samwise7, these latest pieces are not "bad" at all, they are actually pretty darned good - good enough to publish. :)
