Feats of Daring Do! - RPG Book Cover

This is a cover I did for a private RPG publisher that makes 3rd party Pathfinder supplements. I'm really happy with the results, it was quite a project! You can check out the products of this private publisher here: http://paizo.com/companies/dropDeadStudios

I hope to get more illustration work like this. This painting was a blast to work on. I love wacky premises, and a halfling being dropped 'mission impossible' style into a jungle full of dinosaurs was way awesome!

This is the MS Paint drawing the client sent to me as an example.  Drawings like this are actually very useful!  I wish more clients did stuff like this.  :)
