All Hope Abandon, Ye who Enter Here!

I was only able to do few illustrations this last time and I thought I'd do something a little different. Knowing that I'm not overly fantastic with watercolours, I thought I'd experiment with one of the illos I had to do for an upcoming HARP product. Although I think I did reasonably well, I had to tweak it digitally to adjust values in certain areas of the painting. It's destined to be a b&w piece, so when I converted it to greyscale it showed the weak areas of my values. Overall it was a good learning exercise for me and it'll make me a little more aware of my values in future attempts.

Once again I have a few more illustrations to show you all. This is for an upcoming expansion book from the High Adventure Role Playing product line published by Guild Companion Publications. I was only able to do five this time round as other commitments and my wife's continued ill health has had my  family I somewhat stretched. Below is a sample from the set, you can view the rest at my blogfolio.
