If you haven't already seen the latest post on Monster Brains, do so now. Aeron Alfrey has put a much-deserved spotlight on the artwork of Sidney Sime.Sime was probably one of the finest popular illustrators of the 20th century. He contributed his artwork to stories by luminaries like Lord Dunsany and William Hope Hodgson, among others. In a dream world, my fantasy RPGs would be illustrated by Sidney Sime and Ivan Bilibin.
Anyway, if you find yourself in need of inspiration, do yourself a favor and take a look.
Wow, what a fantastic resource! There's a lot of images there I've never seen before.

Good call!
Oh my.
ReplyDeleteSime's work definitely seems to be up your alley, Scott. I'm surprised you hadn't already seen all of this stuff.
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge Sime fan but I've also not seen some of those pieces, and they're of much higher quality in general than the images I previously had to hand. I don't have a blogroll anymore and hadn't seen Monster Brains in months, so I'm glad you posted this.
