Is it OK if I contribute?
Thanks for the compliment! I think the best way to categorize these monsters would be as follows (I don’t know if you plan on separate categories for Constructs and Outsiders; if not, I suppose the Scarecrow and the Shadow Demon could be lumped under the Animates):
Animates
Pĕnanggalan
Beasts
Achaerai, Giant Strider, Gorbel
Humanoids
Firenewt, Githyanki, Kuo-Toa, Myconid
Outsiders
Shadow Demon
Constructs
Scarecrow
I love doing these old school monsters. If anyone out there has any requests for a particular favorite 1st/2nd edition creature, let me know, and I’ll see if I can’t cobble something together.
TANN
P.S.: I should probably re-do the Githyanki; his bottom half is way too short.
I also am up for any requests. I'm trying to have these guys for use in my campaign so I find most of my lunch hour is spent looking at ideas and drawing them up.
Does anyone have the svgs for these? I'd love to be able to edit/tweak some of the elementals (color swaps mostly).
Thanks Tannhaeuser, I finally finished adding them to the collection on the front page.
Hmm.. I'm always looking to add to the collection of iconic creatures for D&D. I'd love to see some new dragons or some various humanoid creatures (lizardfolk, gnolls, etc). Really I'll take whatever you're interested in making. :smallbiggrin:
The classic first edition Dungeons & Dragons monster, the Bulette (or Landshark). The monster's original design was based on a cheap Chinese plastic toy owned by Gary Gygax. I have done two versions, one with the colors as I remembered them (or misremembered them) from the first edition Monster Manual (illustrated by David C. Sutherland III), the other with the colors of the original toy. The Bulette is categorized as a Beast.
Hope you like 'em!
Tann
A while back I did a minicomic thing that involved a werewolf. He's based on a specific character from another source, and so might not quite match the MM descriptions, but here he is.
I've still got the SVG, so if you'd prefer (for instance) that he not be holding the letter I can do that.
And now, from 1981's Fiend Folio, the Hook Horror!
The Hook Horror may be categorized as a Beast.
They look pretty menacing! :smallsmile: I just added them.
I like having a werewolf in the mix, nice! If it's not too much trouble I think I would prefer him without the letter so that the image is a little more general. I did put this one up in the library too.
Thanks again, Tannhaeuser. I definitely appreciate all the submissions!
And now, from 1981's Fiend Folio, the Grell!
The Grell may be categorized as a Beast.
Thanks Tannhaeuser! I've updated the library with the Grell. :smallsmile:
And two more from the first Monster Manual!
First, the Dragonne or Lion-Dragon:
The Dragonne may be categorized as a Dragon.
Next, the fearsome Intellect Devourer:
The Intellect Devourer may be categorized as a Magical Beast.
These creatures are not to scale, even though the Dragonne is covered with them.
Tann
Just updated the main page with the new images. Thanks Tannhaeuser! :smallsmile:
How about including a zip file in the first post with all the images currently in the library so folks don't have to do a bunch of right-click/save image monotony? :smallsmile: Once Rich sends out the first of the monster mini pdf's from the Kickstarter drive one of us could perhaps put these fan contributions in a similar formatted pdf...
I should have another one coming very soon, but I thought I would ask: should I start posting these in larger sizes? I have been trying to keep to avatar size, but I have the more recent of these guys in versions about three times larger.
Could I request a bullywug? even just a base body that I could swap out spears, nets, etc for would be great.
I've been trying to get one together but it's just not working.
Bullywug
Oh, and here are some plant-like monsters. Can you guess that my next combat is taking place in a swampy region? :smallbiggrin:
Plant 1
Plant 2
And another from the first Monster Manual, the Dragon Turtle:
SpoilerDragon Turtle - Large
The Dragon Turtle may be categorized as a Dragon.
Oh, and Meltheim, I could try to do a couple of Bullywugs, if you like them very Stickified, if you should want them.
Stickified bullywugs would be just fine :)
Thanks Tannhaeuser!
And as requested, from the Fiend Folio, a couple of Bullywugs:
SpoilerBullywug - Large
SpoilerBullywug Leader - Large
His little Leadership Hat comes from the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon. It amuses me.
If you like these, Meltheim, I could do a couple more. They're fun.
Bullywugs may be categorized as Humanoids.
love it! Thanks Tannhaeuser!
Good question. I guess having avatar sizes are easier to show off, but if people are interested in larger sizes then I would say go for it. If it's just easier to do a large image and then shrink it after the fact that could work too.
Also, the recent images look awesome. I'll be adding them to the top in a bit, I got a little busy the past few days so I'm a little behind. Thanks guys!
Okay, I added Tannhaeuser's bullywugs and Turtle Dragon to the mix. Meltheim, did you want me to add your plants and bullywug to the mix or were you just posting them for reference to your request? Also, Tannhaeuser, I love those bullywugs. They look awesome and really fun! :smallsmile:
The plants sure, if you want. the bullywug no, it sucks ;)
As long as we are doing plants, please give a warm Order of the Stick welcome to the national flower of Gobbotopia, from 1981's Fiend Folio, the Yellow Musk Creeper!
And its inevitable result, the Yellow Musk Zombie:
The YMZ is a Humanoid (not being Undead per se), I guess, but the Creeper is whatever you make Meltheim's plants.
Eh, I thought I might as well add in a couple more from the first Monster Manual. The first one I did in a sort of odd, back-handed homage to the late Davy Jones:
I suppose the second could be, too, come to think of it:
The former is a beast, the latter, an animate. Requiescat in pace, Mr. Jones!
May as well add:
It's a magical beast.
The former is a beast, the latter, an animate. Requiescat in pace, Mr. Jones!
And, added another Bullywug for Meltheim:
I love your bullywogs, Tannhaeuser!
Heh, thanks, Cofez! They are a lot of fun to do, though I am also trying to get a fair variety of different D&D monsters. (Of course, a lot of them, like Lukers Beneath, Piercers, Trappers, Black Puddings, Green Slime, and Ochre Jellies, are not very suitable to stickification!) I think that last Bullywug must have taken Slimmo or something, though; he seems a little skinny. Let's hope he doesn't end up like my very badly drawn Thought Eater.
How about some of you guys doing some wereboars or vargouilles or something? I can't do everything: after all, it isn't the Order of the Stick Monster Tannual Art Project!
Oh, and on a side note: Thank you, Giant In The Playground, for the Birthday Greetings! (Providing the answer to the D&D riddle, "How is Tann like Tiamat? They're both Huge and Ancient.")
Tann, I'm loving these creatures. I continue to be impressed by your art. :smallbiggrin: Okay, the latest editions have been updated in the catalog.
Awesome idea. The neat thing is, once the Kickstarter monster minis come out, we'll have the dimension for making to scale paper miniatures for a bunch of different side categories. It would probably be possible to start making some of our own unique mini using the art from this thread!
