Talon Dunning

Quick question for people with more books than I, about the art of the rather talented Talon Dunning. Namely who's who from the illustrations on his site...

I recognise Azalin Rex, Dominic D'Honaire, Jacqueline Renier and Arijani, but who are the demented and ferverous women in the top middle and right corners respectively?

This one is a little trickier - The Lady of the Lake is in the top left, and it looks like one of Adam's Children on the bottom left - having seen Talon's drawings for Adam in Gaz II, it's not the darklord himself. But beyond that I have no idea.

I really love this work.

The top pictures are the Lady of the Lake, and Loht and Maeve (the political rulers of the Shadow Rift).

The bottom three pieces are from the Masque of the Red Death campaign. First is the Frankenstein Monster, the Prof. Moriarity, and a woman based on a horrific sadist from New Orleans.

Azalin, Toben the Many, Paladin X from Heroes of Light (name forgotten), Dominic, Jacqueline, calabin hero from Heroes of Light.

Tobias nailed the others.

Talon is awesome. I just picked up Legacy of Blood and was impressed yet again by his awesome drawing talents.

Talon's art in "Legacy of the Blood" is truly amazing.

His portrait of Celeste d'Honaire is EXACTLY as I pictured her!

I'm more impressed with his DT&DL art, LotB had a couple generic faces that failed to thrill (not his fault though) while DT&DL has portraits that perfectly match the new characters and look shockingly different.

I haven't seen Dark Tales yet, so I can't comment. I did see Talon's illo of Maekon ahead of time and I thought it excellent, but that's it.

Talon as I recall, also did the entire Tarokka deck and the art in there was fabulous. Also, there is a thumbnail gallery to the links posted earlier at http://www.talonart.com/pro-ww.html.

The Heroes of Light characters are Eia Pax (I think-- the paladin) and Shih Suren (the caliban, who I like a lot).

I think Talon's version of Dominic d'Honaire is the best I've seen.

I'm very much impressed by his drawing of the Weathermay twins...

Actually, some of my favourites are the races from the PHB. They're so ravenlofty and awesome. Talon so gets ravenloft. I'd love to see some of the non-comissioned work he's done for it. I mean, he said he's a long time player, any the thing with artists is that they doodle all the time, especially when roleplaying. I bet he's got heaps of semi-finished ravenloft designs...

I don't suppose he lurks around here at all?
