| SamyMerchi03-25-08, 07:28 PM | There's a particular piece of artwork I've been trying to locate and I just can't seem to find it so I humbly request assistance. If any of you knows the piece I'm talking about, I'd love to know who the artist is... The piece in question is of a style common in the mid-late eighties, photorealistic painting style -- possibly an Elmore, Caldwell or Parkinson. I don't think it's an Easley. It's of a blonde fighter woman, both hands gripping a sword, wearing armor (possibly chainmail) that doesn't show a lot of skin. She is in a ready fighting stance, looking towards the viewer, her left shoulder towards the foreground and right shoulder towards the background (body facing slightly leftwards on the picture). It's slightly similar to the cover of "Ruins of Adventure" http://home.flash.net/~brenfrow/fr/frc1.jpg except the protagonist is female instead of male, is facing left instead of right, and is in a ready stance instead of in combat. It is not the cover of "Curse of the Azure Bonds" http://www.acaeum.com/ddindexes/modpages/modscans/frc2.jpg the woman is long-haired and blonde instead of redhead, and she is gripping her sword with both hands. If anybody could help me locate the piece in question, I would be very thankful. |

It figures as soon as I stopped looking and started message boarding, it'd come right in my face. http://forums.gleemax.com/images/avatars/TSR-Allene.jpg What's the source for this image? Who painted it, was it the cover of any product, or an interior page in any product...? |
| SamyMerchi03-25-08, 11:33 PM | Finally found it! She's from the cover of 2e "Rogues' Gallery" and it is by Caldwell! http://www.acaeum.com/ddindexes/miscpages/miscscans/ref6.jpg Finally my mind can rest! |
