Art Day: Larry Elmore Dragonlance (1984) AD&D Module and Video game manual 0

[MyNameIsLegion]

Howdy,

just posted 9 of the main characters drawn by Larry Elmore for the (1984) Advanced Dungeons and Dragon's: DL5 "Dragons of Mystery" Dragonlance sourcebook module.  This same art was used in the video game manuals for at least 2 adventure games: Heroes of the Lance and Dragons of Flame first released in the late 80's on Atari, PC, Amiga, NES, Sega and a few obscure platforms I wasn't even aware of.  Dragonlance spawned dozens of novels, comics and even cartoons inspired by the original AD&D game modules. Larry Elmore, along with the likes of Clyde Caldwell and Keith Parkinson drew and painted a ton of the early gaming art that defined a generation of role playing games.

A fairly nice Brom Dragon cover sold just now on ebay for 17k.   Frazetta inspired but nice enough.
