New Art!

Thursday, September 16, 2010

Paizo sure has been hiring quite a few new people of late. I came on board as a Developer at the beginning of the month, and we just announced yesterday that Hyrum Savage will be joining the team as Marketing Manager. The third new hire of the fall is none other than Andrew Vallas, who started after Labor Day. As Graphic Designer he's been a lifesaver, taking some of the workload off Art Director Sarah Robinson as she puts the finishing touches on Save Doctor Lucky. So far, Andrew's time has been taken up with last minute changes to the Bestiary 2 as we approach the finish line for shipping that to the printer, and laying out Pathfinder Player Companion: Inner Sea Primer and Pathfinder Module: The Godsmouth Heresy.

Andrew first found Paizo while using art from Pathfinder as mini-painting inspiration and through the Planet Stories line of fiction. He attended PaizoCon in June, where he not only played his first Pathfinder game after last rolling dice during the days of 2nd Edition, but he attended the art seminars and met with Sarah, and the rest is history.

And since Andrew works so hard in Paizo's Art Department, we thought it fitting to use his introduction as an opportunity to display some of the incredible art coming to your gaming table next month in Pathfinder Adventure Path #39: "City of Seven Spears"!

Cool, thanks Mark.

Hmm. Guess I just don't care for Paul Guzenko's relatively sparse style of detail. The serpent man does look cool, though.

Hey! It's a bleepin' FROGHEMOTH!

This is great stuff. I love all of it.

What a blatant fan suck-up Mark! You just couldn't handle that Sara Marie is now much more popular, could you? So you had to not only give them one new piece of art, but three! Blasphemy! Let them eat text, I say! You just wait until I get into work today young man! You just wait!

Spoiler:
I am just giving Mark a hard time, if you didn't read the tongue in cheek in my post. Just making sure

Mark's been spending all his off hours trying to find the best art he can export to make the wiki look better...

:D

Welcome to Paizo Andrew, Sarah does an awesome job so there are high expectations for your department.

I don't think anyone uses the phrase "young man" in that context without firmly planting their tongues near the molars anymore. With that said: give him one from me Lisa, there's no reason to stop at a measly three pictures, we want more art! ;)

Hu- wha- ?

Oh, art! I'd given up checking.

Seriously though, the girallon takes the gold in this trio. Cool job, Florian Stitz!

Andoran

All if the new art is great! I am impatiently awaiting the next book to ship!

The Girallon just ROCKS!

Even if it's not technically a girallon?

(As in, it's an angazhani, from Heart of the Jungle.)

You know...between Pathfinder and Kobold Quarterly the froghemoth has probably gotten more love art-wise over the past two years than...ever. ;P

James, all I can think of when I see that top picture is Merisiel's quote("sticky frog tongue whip") from your Crypt of the Everflame campaign journal.

You were the one using it to pick things off the floor. Just sayin'. :P

(Tried to come up with something more clever but was too busy laughing. Well played.)

Even more so.


Especially since the one in Heart of the Jungle had dyed its fur.

It was still gross. But when I slapped it against Ezren's ass and he thought he was having another episode, that was pretty funny.

(sigh) *facepalm*

That's the wrong Savage. They were supposed to hire Adam Savage, so he could test the myth that Aroden is dead.

Myth confirmed.

That Paul Guzenko pic of the froghemoth reminds me so much of Erol Otis... betterer (IMO) but still channeling his muse.
