Your art is great, as usual.

As for MotRD, any trivia on the source of inspiration for some of these?

Bom dia,

Yeah, I'm should write an Artist's Notes on that, eh?

I'll slap something together, Joël.

I LOVE the illos from my chapter! Putting the Vehrteig in all of them was a great move... and it's exactly how I would have done it if I'd been doing my own art orders on the WW projects!

Fantastic job! I particularly love the "Root of All Evil" and "Jack Sallow's Inn" pics!

Amazing! Very good, makes me wonder if you are up for other work. I am working on a couple of things and need a good artist.

Wonderful

I'm glad to see your artwork coming along so well. I must admit, some of the pixelation in your earlier work bothered me (I use myself a technique involving the drawing of sketches in pen and importing them into photoshop to extensively manipulate), but your recent stuff has really improved.

Looks great.

What is your usual method? My guess is you draw and then use a paint program?

Sure, be my guest!

I remember reading from you that a MotRD illustration was inspired by spiderman's grandmother and such. I was wondering if you had similar trivia for this book.

Actually, it's Great-Aunt Bernadette, from Legacy of the Blood. But MotRD has its share of trivia.

Steve-> Thanks! As the images proceed, the verhteig slowly moves from the background (in "Root of Evil", where she's a mere witness) to the forefront (in "Ilgaard's Theory"), as she becomes the conecting element in the story.

Desertrising -> Sure, let me know!

One reason why I'm glad Klaus posts his art on the web for us to see is that it often looks much better than what ends up in the book. I find Claudio's pics are very vulnerable to bad printing. I'm especially thinking of the Bogeymen, Aunt Bernadette and the Mesmerists' pendulum pics that look great online, but lose some on paper. The one single book where his art survived 'unspoiled' is Masque of the Red Death - and that book uses a smoother variety of paper.
