Description
City State of the Invincible Overlord
Oils on primed illustration board.
Approx 21" x 26"
Cover artwork for the RPG supplement of the same name.
I was very excited to be able to work on the cover to this new version. The original supplement first came out when I was new to playing D&D, the huge and detailed maps (one for players, another for the GM) along with the vast range of encounters sucked me in. This is the only supplement from that era I still own, and it was a delight to be able to put my own spin on the cover. A group of adventurers question the wisdom of turning into another dark alley full of encounters, perils and delights.
Original artwork SOLD.

Superb! That is a masterpiece, and really fits into the (A)D&D tradition of illustration.
I bow my head in respect.

I'm thoroughly enjoying the little rat catcher and his dog. In a city like this I can't imagine he'd be short of work.

"Oh man I don't know if this is safe," said the dwarf. "I can see, like, six knives from here. And least a dozen guys who are clearly hiding knives." Little did he know this was the safest and most hospitable alley in the whole city. The wares were still shitty and rat eaten, though.
XD I just noticed the dude with all the stuff on his back on the roof at top right. "Silence, rat-fearing cat. You will ruin me."

I love it!
I really like how there's so much stuff going on, but the piece doesn't feel crowded at all.

I'm so jealous of your ability to just cram detail into every nook and cranny. Amazing work as always Ralph!

Wow! Great art and great to hear someone is doing a new release or reprint of the City State.... I remember there was a second one as well, but can't remember it right now.

It's fantastic! Not only do you have notable skill painting with oils but you really have created a lively scene I can practically feel the buzz of the town folk. I could never dream of completing a work like this.
