You can't help but marvel at David Trampier's mastery of light and shadow. Here's a beautiful example ripped from the pages of The Dragon, Issue Number 12, Volume II, No. 6, February 1978.
This DAT illustration accompanies a preview of Andre Norton's Dungeons and Dragons-based book, Quag Keep. If you pay attention, you'll notice that the seated adventurer, in the foreground, is wearing a bracelet encrusted with oddly-shaped dice.

I am paying attention and also noticing he was really into tendons of the hand.
Great image. I always loved Trampier's art.
I have never seen (or noticed) this one before. Wonderful!
I haven't seen this one before, thanks for sharing. Tramp is the best!
The dice on the bracelet are actually important to the plot of the novel. They are related to how the adventurers came to be there.
I love Tramp's work- to me, it evokes the engravings of Albrecht Dürer and Gustave Doré.
It's always great to discover a new Trampier piece. Thanks!
