Just wondering if anyone can figure out who the artist was for the cover of this AD&D character record sheet from the 1st edition AD&D REF2.

Here is the link:

I don't think it was Elmore or Caldwell. Of course I could be wrong
but it looks more like Easley or Parkinson.

I just really loved this cover art. It was what really got me into the
whole fantasy RPG/D&D thing.

Thanks and Cheers,
Eric

Hello and welcome!

Good taste! Keith Parkinson did that one. It happens to be one of my personal favorites. It's called "And Then There Were Three."

I'd bet it is floating out there somewhere. You should keep your eyes and ears out for it. I decided that I loved the art so much I wanted to try to own some originals. It is a great experience to have something like that floating in your presence.

Thank you very much for clearing that one up for me!
Cheers to all of you! Applause

Isn't it awesome how one picture can really conjure up
memories, dreams, fantasies, and whatnot?!

That picture is amazing...I'll have to see if I can get my hands
on an original at some point.

I wont be hard for you to get an original. It gets tougher when you want a specific original Wink Good luck in your quest!
