Bordering on the Otherworld

Some details from a recently completed artwork commission for Otherworld Miniatures consisting of three themed page borders:

Otherworld Armoury Border (detail)

Otherworld Dungeon Border (detail)

Otherworld Armour (detail)

Otherworld Dungeon Border (detail)

Otherworld Wilderness Border (detail)

Otherworld Wilderness Border (detail)

Otherworld Armoury Border (detail)

The originals are approximately A3 - intended to be reproduced as A4 borders. Unfortunately they don't reproduce too well as small web thumbnails after all they are essentially a big white space with some drawings round the edge - but you can see them in the gallery to get a sense of the final pieces.


Richard great to work with as usual and v There are several references to Otherworld Miniatures range hidden in plain sight throughout the drawings which were fun to do - a big no-prize for anyone who spots them all!

  1. Lovely work. It reminds me a little of some of the early artwork for the fighting fantasy books.

  3. I love this kind of thing, and you've executed it brilliantly! One of my favorite things about the AD&D DMG and the Burning Wheel RPG is the art in the margins.

    Awesome.
