I was approached a while back to do my take on the Jennell Jaquays cover art for her iconic module The Caverns of Thracia . Mine's the first one you can see in that post. I liked how that turned out and I liked the process, so I decided to have a go at redrawing the even more iconic cover art of module B2: The Keep on the Borderlands. As I was posting work-in-progress shots and musing on the…
