Ogre Mage - Advanced Adventures Art
I remember getting the 1st Edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Monster Manual for Christmas when I was 11. I was immediately enthralled. So many monsters copiously illustrated. It was just mind blowing. There was nothing quite comparable at the time. I remember one of the critters that jumped out at me was the ogre mage. I'd heard of ogres sure, but what the heck was an ogre mage? To top it off, it was dressed in feudal Japanese armor. Way cool! These things just really weren't really around in 1983. But anyway, fast forward a few decades later. I was thrilled at the prospect to get to do a cover piece with an ogre mage. It was really quite fun doing this piece. I hope you enjoy. Happy gaming!
One of my favorite comics as a kid was the Forgotten Realms series DC published in cooperation with TSR. It had wonderful art by Rags Morales early in his career. The first story arc was "The Hand of Vaprak!" Featuring an Ogre Mage adversary. I can definitely relate to the interest and affinity you developed at a young age.
Ah yes! I think I've got that one around somewhere!
