Inspirational art

[terje]

The 6th and 7th editions of the swedish fantasy rpg Drakar och Demoner featured some really great artwork. The setting for these two editions of the game, Trudvang, is veru much inspired by nordic myth and the tribal societies of iron age europe (celtic, germanic, slavic, finnish, sami).

Paul Bonner made all the covers. Look under artwork / riotminds for the awesome pictures.

Unfortunately the illustrators dont seem to have a lot of their work available on the web, but here are a few pictures by Alvaro Tapia from an exhibition: 1, 2, 3, 4.

If you look at the books here at Riotminds products page you can see some previews on pages and illustrations.

Their trolls look quite similar to those of John Bauer.

Yes, John Bauer is one important source of inspiration for that incarnation of the game.
