Who was the artist for the pictures of Asmo and Iomedae in today's blog?

[Iridal]

Picture of Asmodeus is great! I love it.

Iomedae is sensibly armored! :) Nicely done.

In the product discussion thread Andrew Hou is mentioned to have drawn these ( and probably the other 18 gods as well).

I've been a big fan of Andrew Hou's work for a while now. I still want to order a print of that 7 Masked Angel pic one day.

Hear hear!

Edit: And yes, Mr. Hou rocks.

Asmodeus was done by Tyler Walpole and Iomedae was done by Eva Widermann. Both artists have a several illustrated pieces in the book. All of the art in the Gods & Magic look awesome.

If by "awesome" you mean "as good as Asmodeus and Iomedae" then you do in fact mean "awesome"!

You know, while I think this version is cool, I'm glad to have the visual reference, I've always pictured Asmodeus and being thinner and more robed than the version here, but then again, my primary frame of reference is the version Dan Smith did for In Nomine. If you take away all the black horns and draping scrolls, the Phistophilus illustration is much closer to my mental image of Asmodeus, or at least, it was until I saw the art sample.

Depends on how old-school D&D you want to go. :)

Now the real question remains:

Does Golarion's Demogorgon have hyena-heads or baboon-heads? ;)

I know! I kid!

Seriously though, lemur-heads.
