I’m a big RPG nerd (surprise!) I’ve always loved RPGs in any form: Tabletop D&D (nerd wife actually has a D&D tattoo, lol – ok, it’s supposed to be my initials PD, but it looks kinda like DD), console RPGs (Japanese, western, strategy), MMORPG (I’ve played most of them).

Had these pieces for a little while but just found the scans from the artists so wanted to post them here. I really love that Cloak and Dagger piece by Martheus Wade. The Thor by Rahsan Ekedal is even more amazing in person, watch for this guy to blow up soon. Finally, a Kitty Pryde [...]
