A friend of ours made some sweet fan art. I’m actually gonna split this into at least two posts, just to spread things out, since he made us a series of 5 pics(!) :D. The fellow in question is Emilien Rotival, (aliases being variously “The Arty Squid” and within wesnoth, “LordBob”), who’s a terrific illustrator, and all-around great guy to work with (rarely have I seen such a high ratio of skill:ego thrown around). He’s easily been the nicest, and one of the best illustrators I’ve worked with. If you’re looking to hire or commission someone, I can’t recommend him enough.

We ran into him on our sister-project Battle for Wesnoth – if you’re at all familiar with the game, he’s responsible for something like half the portraits in the game – in fact simply going to the homepage at the time of this writing is likely to have two or three of his in the randomly-chosen pool of them that decorates the main page.

So I linked him to frogatto a little while back, and then he did something very cool – a series of three cartoon-style illustrations of scenes from the game (click to zoom in):

THE GREEN ONE HUNGERS!

Oh, you sneaky town elder, you...

It never pays to get up early in the morning.

Stay tuned, because an upcoming post will have some additional bits he made. 🙂
