Anyone know which book this one's from?
Found it in one of my old folders.

Looks like one maybe one of those Kara-Tur books based on the adventuring party there.

Kuro-nyūdō (Umibōzu) from the Kii zōtan-shū, circa 1850.

日本語: 『奇異雑談集』より、黒入道（海坊主）

Man, that is some really old school stuff. How does it compare to D&D, though?

It's the OG stuff.
Where you think D&D got all its ideas from

That's why you can turn all these myths into modules.

I must say, it's a strange feeling for I do like some of the artwork from newer artists like Kim Van Deun, but seeing old artwork from the likes of Jeff Easley, Larry Elmore, Clyde Caldwell, David Sutherland, Gerald Brom, etc, makes me really happy. The feeling of adventure is conveyed so well that it doesn't just paint a thousand words—it transports you to a different reality. It'd be fun to have nerds do a study on this before the last of the great illustrators pass away.

Anyway, more Elmore:

That's a cropped version of Avalyne the Life Giver, which first appeared as the cover of Dragon Magazine #140 (December 1988):

This thread makes me feel so good.

I'm trying to remember what this one was from. I'm almost certain it was originally printed in a module, but which one escapes me. I don't think it was ToEE, but could it have been Keep on the Borderlands?

N1 Against the Cult of the Reptile God from 1982, which had a cover and one interior drawing by Timothy Truman, but the rest of the interior drawings were by Jim Holloway, and there was also a back cover illustration by an unidentified third artist.

Ah, very good.

Cool wiki. I wish its random page function worked, however.

agreed on both counts.

fwiw, this URL will bring you to a list of everything, if you hadn't noticed.

Oh man, this is so nice! Does anybody know who the artist is? Can't read the signature.

I believe this one is from D1-2 Descent into the Depths of the Earth. That's a female drow... vampire? That the party has the option to kidnap? Am I remembering that correctly?
