For those that haven't seen it - and I hadn't until I got the limited edition of GotM - here's a scanned image of Raest and Silanah

So.. Raest is a unicorn?

Jaghut have large tusks jutting from their jaw :)

Raest’s withered, cracked face twisted into a savage grin,
his lower tusks splitting desiccated skin

The pose is rather reminiscent of the famous "... I'm an ant-eater!" pic.

On the serious side, Silanah should just be able to eat Raest. She's huge!
Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

They still have the numbered version available online for $125. If you know where to look. I was searching this forum and found a link to a seller, purchased it from there a few weeks ago. Looks like they still have some copies left. It's unfortunate that my copy doesn't have the Pale gatefold... I've seen a small picture of it a long time ago.. but would love to have a full size version.

I really like it. However, the "Really Big Tusk" bit is a tad overdone! Jaghut are supposed to be erudite. Imagine him trying to speak!

I finally know what a Jaghut is meant to look like! Woohoo!

Awesome pic btw, although like other I feel that the tusks are slightly on the impractical side...

Jaghut tusks are often described as being very large, I don't think this depiction is unreasonable in that context. For example:

Quote

'Dressed in faded ochre robes, the man was solid, broad-shouldered and at least seven feet tall. A long, iron-hued ponytail swpt down between his shoulders, bound just above the small of his back with a dull length of chain.'
'Huge tusks framed his thin mouth, jutting from his lower lip. The greenish cast of his weathered skin made him look ghostly, despite the hearth's warm light. Eyes the colour of dirty ice regarded them.' (DG, uk mmpb, p.898

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

The others are either meh (the wagon in dragnipur, I think Traveller's is better for capturing the mood) or already exist in digital form that a scan could not hope to match (WJ& young Paran and Hairlock & BB's scene) That being said, we could prolly get around to scanning the dragnipur one later :)

My thinkymeatz are nagging at me that i've seen a similar dragon pic to Silanah somewhere - it's probably another Komarck piece i spotted somewhere. Not a swipe, just a similar approach to drawing massive red dragons swooping down to attack.

- Abyss, needs that holo-brain-imager, dammit...

yeah, I'm sure I've seen something very similar too but it is a pretty generic western fantasy dragon so that's no surprise really. Elmore's dragons looked a lot like this but I think Fred Fields might have done one virtually identical.

Here is a slideshow of photos of each image... but they're not particularly good quality, I'm afraid, since it's photos, not scans.
