Cleaning out my collection, found a mystery.  Anyone know anything about this art?  I don't even remember when I bought it, but I'm pretty sure it was ebay (still searching my emails).  Anyone have any idea what this is?

Quick update.  After digging through some old emails I found that I purchased this off of eBay in November of 2010.  The auction was titled "Dark Sun, Original painting, Dungeons and Dragons, art".  I bought it from Kevin Wirsing, who seems to have sold a lot of fantasy art (and was a fellow veteran).  

Unfortunately, a Google search shows that Kevin passed away a little over a year ago.   :cry:

I am sure it was also used in one of the Dark Sun modules, maybe DSQ1. Most of my Dark Sun items are in shrink, so can't check myself.


Available now from Die Cast Games: Night of the Black Swords by Allen Hammack (Author of C2-The Ghost Tower of Inverness) with artwork by Jeff Easley and Diesel.

Thanks, I looked through DSQ1 and didn't see it.  I'll pull out some of my Dark Sun modules and see if I have any luck.  Not many color images in the modules that I've seen, hopefully it will stand out.

It's from DSQ2 Arcane Shadows.
