My New Avatar - Where's it From?

Was it one of the Endless Quest books?

Sorry, Nope.

I bet it was an "official" mapping item like a battle mat or something. I know I've seen that before...

Were there dungeon tiles back then?

There were, and I had them, but this isn;t them:

Well, it seems nobody was Old School Enough

So, here is the old TSR mapping Product the image is taken from.

That's Right, the Booklet of HEX mapping paper.

No fair, I've been away. I didn't get a crack at this. LOL! I wouldn't have got it anyways but I can say that the artist is Bill Willingham (who started with D&D and V&V art and then would do the Elementals comic and now, Fables).

That was it! I knew I had seen that before! Weren't the hex pages non-photo blue as well?

Guess I was wrong about which product it came from, then. I'm pretty sure that I've seen that artwork in another TSR product, though. Maybe it was just a Willingham piece of line art from one modules that was similar, though.

Nope, the hexes were black.

I loved that product. I initially forgot the artist was Willingham and thought it was Jeff Dee, which lead me to search, where I found the site Tome of Treasures (http://tomeoftreasures.com/index.html). There I was able to find a smaller image of the picture, and saw that is was Willingham I was thinking of.

To me, D&D is all about Willingham, Dee and Erol Otus (who still does D&D artwork for Dungeon Crawl Classics for Goodman Games http://www.goodman-games.com/index.html
