Ravenloft Artbook of Talon Dunning

[Zilfer]

Here is some thread necromancy because someone was looking for pictures of Ravenloft Characters/Dark Lords, and I know some unique ones you won't find anywhere else is in this topic.



Side Note: I did finally get your version of the Tarroka deck and I am pleased.

Congrats Zilfer. Where did you find it and how much did you pay?

[HuManBing]

Hah, I was just browsing this thread before it got triumphantly bumped. I had come into a bit of cash and wanted to send some back to my favorite campaign setting.

I think the link in the first post is still good, and the price is listed at 15 for just the sketchbook, or 20 for sketchbook plus original sketch card.

I think I'll put in my order shortly.

[Zilfer]

I put up some money just now as well.

And I found it simply by searching 'Talon Dunning.' on the board.

The Tarokka i paid something like 70$ or so, and got a pretty nice deck box and the cards feel like they hadn't been used. Since then I've shuffled them and laid them out.

I haven't had a chance to use them in a ravenloft game however.... unforunately me and my group don't play it very often. xD

If you guys get the sketchcards, please share them with us! Always looking forward to more Talon art!

[HuManBing]

Congrats on your purchase, zilfer! That deck can be hard to come by. The artwork is great and the blood smudges on the high deck are a nice touch

Indeed. Just need the occasion to use them more than for personal use of randomly drawing cards.

If I remember correctly there was an article on playing card games with Tarokka cards in one of the old Kargatane netbooks, although memory fails to remind me of which one precisely - please forgive my absent-mindedness.

Yeah unforunately, they were based off the old deck that has the Donjon(sp?) for example in it, while the Talon deck doesn't have that card. Though I think on Mistipedia there's a conversion or something to assign similiar cards together.....

That's awesome! I, too, am curious as to how much you got them for. I understand they're quite rare and quite valuable these days. Bring the deck to GenCon and I'll autograph it for you.

Just to let y'all know, assuming my inventory sheet is correct, I only have eight copies of Out of the Mists left. I have also lost the ability to update Arcane-Marks.com (long story), so it is very out of date. I have other sketchbooks from the past few years that aren't up there: 2011's was Big Damn Heroes, featuring my art from Mutants & Masterminds. I have 36 of those left. 2012's book was Les Femmes du Fantastique, which featured drawings of women from throughout my career. It's been pretty popular (go figure) and I only have 9 of those left. Last year's book was Stray Marks II, and, like Stray Marks features a collection of random drawings and preliminary sketches. I have 17 of those left, and 11 of the original Stray Marks from 2009. Stray Marks can still be ordered from my website, but if anyone wants any of the others, you'll have to contact me via email at everwho@comcast.net. Big Damn Heroes is $12 ($17 w/sketch), Les Femmes is $15 ($20 w/sketch), and Stray Marks II is $20 ($25 w/sketch). Note that when Out of the Mists is sold out, there will not be a third printing, however, there is a chance that all of these will be released into Print-On-Demand through DriveThruComics (the independent comic publishing branch of DriveThruRPG) sometime down the road. If that happens, I'll let you know, but either way, there will not be a third print run of Out of the Mists.

Cool. Unforunately, I never make it out to Gencon's but thanks for the offer! as I said in a Previous post it was somewhere up there in the 70-100 bucks range after all was said and done. Still glad I purchased it.

I did order the out of the mists packet and if HuManBing did as well then your probably down to 6 left.

as I said in a Previous post it was somewhere up there in the 70-100 bucks range after all was said and done. Still glad I purchased it.

I've seen it go for as much as $300, so I'd say you did pretty well. I'm glad you were able to get a copy. I hope you enjoy them!

Indeed. We'll see if Ravenloft ever picks up in the future and they contact you again. Still only just a faint possibility but i'm sure i'm not the only one around here that would approve. xD

I'm glad that you think so. Even if WOtC publishes a D&D Next version of Ravenloft, it's doubtful that I'll be selected to draw for it, given their reputation for the highest quality art. WOtC is a really difficult gig to get, especially for D&D and MtG. Let's just say that I'm not holding my breath for that one.
