Everyone always referanced Elmore and Parkinson (yes both GREAT) but Holloway did exactly as you stated it, he made his work border on believeable. Third Favorite Dragon Cover - #74 Jim Holloway. It was a very inspiring picture, I would bring it to game sessions just to look at.<br /><br />MY #1 Dragon Cover - #92 Bridge of Sorrows by Den Beauvais. Truly a Great Cover, It's also my favorite pewter sculpture.<br />#2 Dragon Cover - #275 Half-Orc Paladin by Mark Zug. Inspiration and picture for my second favorite D&D character of all time, R.I.P.

I was checking out his website a while back and I think he mentioned being a self-taught artist. That just adds to the charm, IMO.<br /><br />I might have mentioned this before somewhere, but my favorite Dragon Magazine cover and one of my all-time favorite pieces of D&D art <i>period</i> is Holloway's cover of <a href="http://index.rpg.net/pictures/show-water.phtml?picid=8807" rel="nofollow">Issue 161</a>.David Larkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133630988557116729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172185396932439661.post-48285170495493433222009-07-01T13:52:37.624-04:002009-07-01T13:52:37.624-04:00For me, the piece I always think of when I think o...For me, the piece I always think of when I think of his style is the illustration for the TANKS article for Car Wars in an old issue of Dragon Magazine.<br /><br />I always think of him as the artist that made Paranoia what it was.Dyson Logoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14352404068239792475noreply@blogger.com
