Description
The ControllerAcrylic, approx 7" x 10"
D&D Complete Mage; internal illustration
Β©Wizards fo the Coast,
Original artwork for sale; UKΒ£250.
This pair stare straight out at the viewer, the powerfully built Lizardman kneeling subserviently infront of the impassive 'controller'.
I enjoyed working on this image. It is a fairly straightforward composition with the characters almost forming a triangular form, which is broken up by the warped tree behind them.
I was pleased with the form of the Lizardman and the costuming on the woman (though I cursed that lacing when I painted it).

Amazing work... I like the way you still manage to fit in lots of detail on to the background tree, it doesn't draw the eye away from the characters, but it makes it look more real... The only thing I'm not quite sure about is the beast's foot, it looks too flat, and the heel is very pointy, but otherwise, good job!

Yes, the foot at bottom left does seem a little awkward. I just couldn't stop him fidgeting when I was sketching him

Ahhh... dam!! Here's why my local lizardman slave dealer hasn't been heading in there anymore!! 
Very cool looking painting... i especially like the lizardman (no wonder as i tend to like everything scaley....

I was pleased with how it turned out. Painting black is always hard as well - it can be very easy to turn it into grey

I like how placid the lizard man looks- like he has been properly tamed by her.

Brilliant, heh, running out of things to say about your work here matey. Fantastic stuff as per usual - that Lizardman looks almost smug.

*grins* You know me. I like to give a little more, but there's sometimes when even I run out of words...heh. Your images grace most of the decent books in my RPG collection, especially the Warhammer stuff.
