For those of you who don’t know him, Luke is an award-winning illustrator who works with ink on paper. His art has been featured in many books and other media, and his influence is only growing.
His kung-fu is strong.
I love seeing Luke share his process on his social media accounts. His illustrations are truly astounding, and he frequently shows video clips of his technique. It’s magic to watch.
So, when I saw a Kickstarter for his new collection of drawings, I knew I had to get it.
And boy, his book doesn’t disappoint.
I’m only sharing a small sampling of what he included, but know that he has over 140 illustrations in this volume!

BTW: Luke is no stranger to Rediscovered Realms.
We did an in-depth interview with him not too long back that includes a slew of his other outstanding fantasy illustrations not found in this article!

Wizkids is celebrating D&D’s 50th Anniversary with its biggest miniature booster set ever. But here’s what’s really cool: There are 10 secret rare figures - and 2 of them can be used with the Red Dragon to recreate the iconic cover of the 1977 basic set!

That looks an amazing book of fantastic artwork. Might look to treat myself this month!🤔😁
Those 50th anniversary figures look good. I’ve still got some of the old Ral Partha and Grenadier ones kicking about from back in the day. I don’t play anymore but if the new figures are that cool, I might need to buy them for old times sake!

WHERE CAN IT GET HIS BOOKS?! Wow! that guy's stuff is the best of old school and the best of today. A pen master indeed.
NOTE: I did follow the links above. All gone. Backed his third volume of illustrations, but Collection I and II are all sold out.
This guy seriously needs to republish.
