| Post subject: | Erol Otus - Kaiju King? |
I was just looking at some old links and i ran across the site for Erol Otus who is an old school Dungeons and Dragons artist as well as a rather seminal metal record artist as well. Here are some of his pics, he could do the translation to kaiju/japanese vinyl very easily. Semi Ningen anyone  Rad aliens  Bemonish?  http://minipainting-guild.net/eo/eoart.html |

He was always one of my fave D&D artists. Especially all the covers he did for the old hardbacks, especially Deities and Demigods. Damn, wish I hadn't sold all that stuff years ago. |

I think the title of Cthulhu king would be more appropriate... |

wow...Erol Otus...like all others I do remember him from the AD&D manuals. I just did a search to see what modules I had missed growing up. I am glad to find out that although I missed more than half (they were very hard to find in the Philippines), I did get to play the entire GDQ series which encompases the Giants, the Drow, and finally the battle with Lolth. The whole thing was over 25yrs ago so I don't remember much, but do remember that it was a pretty awesome series. Yet more things I wish I had brought over when we moved. |
