I LOVE the art of the Orc Priest or Monk or whatever in the Blog Today...

Now that is a cool looking NPC. Clearly an Orc with some sort of facial scars and chains wrapped around his forearms and hands, all while wearing this sweet black and red robe. I'm guessing he is a monk as those soothsaying orc monks are mentioned in the blog itself. That said, that art would work great for a shaman or other type of orc mystic. The clear facial scarring (I assume from the caustic fumes of the Volcano mentioned in the blog) are just amazingly well done.

It never stops amazing me how you guys continue to up the ante on the quality of your products. *Bows to the overlords of Paizo for their awesomeness*

That Hold of Belkzen looks cool too.


I thought it was ok, but it reminds me a lot of the orcs in Blackrock Spire from World of Warcraft. Stupid waste of time game.

I'll try to refrain from bringing it up again :P

Honestly? There's more crossover between D&D and Warcraft than most people realize, I think. In any event, they've done so much with orcs that it's sorta hard NOT to look like Warcraft when you do orc stuff... especially if you want your orcs to still feel like orcs and not like something else.

Looking forward to the Gazetteer of the Hold'!!


They really, really, really should add an art gallery to this site.
You can download all Dragon art of the last 20 issues and most pathfinder pictures are in the blog, so apparently there's no legal reason to not have an art gallery.

Though there is one to have it: Major works of art should be open to public and acceeesable without obstructions. ^^

I agree with that. Art IS what sell me to a product. Art was what attracted me to Planescape back then and Pathfinder today. Accessible art is a good thing for marketing. Really! Like a good CV; doesn't mean the game is good, but it will guaranty you'll give a good look at it.

YES!!!!

We really, really, really need some more time to implement awesome ideas like this! :-)

You waste too much time sleeping. I'll send over one of our necromancers to remedy that. >:)

Pathfinder orcs love to scar their faces. It's like medals for them. Plus, it makes them look more horrifying, and they like to scare their victims.

Okay, that'll suffice for now. ^^

Here is another one.....How about slapping together some calenders? I would love to be able to buy a 'Places of Pathfinder', 'Fantasy Beasties' or a 'People of Pathfinder' calender. I would probably buy a couple different ones....

You paid for the art, put it to work for you. Everyone would want one. For the office and the home. You could even put the Golorian calendar names under the real word ones so it doubles as a game aid.

Don't forget "Babes of Pathfinder", "Babes of Pathfinder: Swimsuit Edition" and "Babes of Pathfinder: X rated edition" :D


An Art section would work wonders for this 'dreary' place (sorry, but it is, looks-wise).

I probably use the Art section on the WotC more then any other part, and I think if you guys did a graphical cover page for this site, with some art and a link to the rest of the art on a seperate page (along with links to the forums, store, etc) it will help Pathfinder really take-off.

I've said this before in other threads/posts, but a lot of people logon here once, and leave because its not very 'inspiring' to look at. Slap some of that great art you guys are doing where people can see it, and watch you numbers skyrocket.


An Art Gallery from all the books like WotC has on its site would be fantastic!!!

Ive asked for one before so I'm glad to see it brought up again.

Id love to just bring up the art...print...and paper clip it to my DM screen for visual references.

KaeYoss these comments are immature.

P.S. Make sure the X rated Editon is the little half size calendar so I can hide it in my hobby room away from my wife.


....I am apparently without a brain. I been looking up and down the Paizo Blog and I can't find such an illustration.

Is there a separate Pathfinder Blog that I'm unaware of? I can't find one. I'm now very confused...

EDIT Nevermind, found it. Just not what I was expecting. I had some sort of monk idea in mind, rather than creepy cultist. Still, awesome illo!
