The Professional Artist with Echo Chernik Episode 14: Date:August 17, 2024 Join me as I introduce you award-winning illustrator Alexander Gustafson about his journey as an illustrator from games to advertising for Mountain Dew to his incredible sculptures and the development of his own I.P. About Alexander Gustafson Alex is An Award Winning Illustrator, Concept Artist, Maquette Sculptor and Art Director. Growing up in the icy mountains of Vermont, he enjoyed drawing stories and playing Dungeons and Dragons to ward off the cold. Alex also spent hours in those formative years admiring the works of modern masters like Todd Lockwood, Chris Van Allsburg, James Gurney, and Brom. All of this eventually compelled him to seek out a career in fantasy illustration, where he has the freedom to create worlds and tell stories with pictures. The art he makes is meant to inspire people to remember that their inner kid can come along for the ride into adult hood and to spark imagination and wonder in those who take time out to view them. Alex graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design in 2008 with a Masters degree in Illustration, and continues to pursue his passion for fantasy, sci-fi, and steampunk.

This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, instead of focusing on a particular game or book, we're looking at a specific villain, the demon prince Orcus, lord of the undead. The big guy has some interesting real world history and folklore to delve into regarding monsters in general. Then we check out how his story unfolded across the first three editions of Dungeons & Dragons, primarily in the Bloodstone modules and Monte Cook's two massive Planescape campaign books, The Great Modron March and Dead Gods. * * * Before we get to all the delicious links, we mentioned a couple things in the episode that warrant the sharing of images. First, of course, is the Todd Lockwood illustration of Orcus from Dragon Magazine 42 (October, 1980). Second, Stu couldn't quite fish the name of this engraving out of his brain in the episode, but "Satan Presiding at the Infernal Council," by John Martin (circa 1823) is the piece whose vibe reminds him of Lockwood's Orcus. Finally, here is the "Orcus Mouth" in the Gardens of Bomarzo, or the Park of Monsters. * * * Hang out with us on the Vintage RPG Discord - Stu's started setting up one-shot Call of Cthulhu sessions and that's the place to get in on the action.

First Story: “Keeper of Memory” by Todd Lockwood Daen screamed until the monster’s teeth crushed ribs against ribs. Blood poured from his lungs, a bright flower unfurling on the pavestones. He bolted upright. A tree root scraped his back as he tried to crab backwards, but his feet were entangled in his blanket. He sat still, surprised to feel moss and short grass under the heels of his hands. A soft hush surrounded him, the landscape shrouded in fog that deadened sound and confused distance, rendering trees and stones into ghostly shadows ofbthemselves. Panting, he rubbed his face with pale fingers and blinked away the blur in his eyes. His sweat grew cold in the damp air. Gods, what a dream! Todd Lockwood creates his images with a mystic combination of acrylics, oils, Corel Painter, Photoshop, blood, epithets, secret incantations, and gin. His designs involve images derived from fantasy and science fiction, fantasy role-playing games, his... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
