Hi,

as mentioned in the GC thread, I picked up a set of the Al-qadim prints from Crazy Egor.

As it turns out, there were 5 other prints in there as well, and I'm not sure what they are. They arent the Dark Sun prints.

Artwork is naive, black and white, Dungeons & Dragons 1991 TSR copyright. No part number. Seems to represent a wide range of subjects.

I will try and get a pic when I can.

Any one give me any clues please?

Cheers,
Malc

Are they all black and white prints? I have a set with a couple of them being color prints. Mine came in a large white envelope with Al-Qadim campaign at one corner.

Hi,

I have the set of Al-Qadim prints (2 colour, 3 b&w, backing sheet - as detailed on tot), but there were a few extras in the Al-Qadim envelope.

There were doubles of 2 of the Al-Qadim b&w prints, plus these 5 as detailed above. I dont know what they are.

Cheers,
Malc

They are really poor artwork imho - the al-qadim ones are much better.

these are artwork that have been used in the gaz line of products...

going by heart, i can recognize: the one with bison is from the atruaghin gaz, the one with the fliying object is from alfheim gaz, the others i am not sure where they've been used...

nice finding, though!

In that first (c) TSR photo, the upper piece looks a lot like Erol's style.

I agree, they all look like Fabian's work to me.

Hi,

thanks guys!

I contacted Stephen Fabian, and yes, they are all his.

However, he never published them in a portfolio format like that, so they are almost definitely TSRs work.

Cheers,
Malc
