I've been reading through the new monster book for Arduin Eternal & then was scanning through the Monsters Brains blog. They're featuring the Brothers Hildebrandt who for some reason never seem to get mentioned these days. According to wiki Tim Hildebrandt was a force to be reckoned with -Tim Hildebrandt illustrated children's books, two Dungeons & Dragons calendars, and the poster for the film The Secret of NIMH; his art was also used in advertising by AT&T and Levi's.[6] Tim was also Associate Producer of the horror-themed science fiction film,The Deadly Spawn.[7] Tim Hildebrandt died on June 11, 2006 at the age of 67 due to complications of diabetes
Rest In Peace Tim. There's a good chunk of my childhood right there. Then I noticed something there was definately an influence on Arduin here. Atlantis was a project from the brothers that seemed tailor made to appeal to the D&D crowd! I wonder if Mr. Hargrave didn't borrow a few elements for monsters, locations etc. So in my mind this is really what Arduin would look like if painted. Tell me that these don't scream adventure location!
