The first is the Chimera; the original drawing by David C. Sutherland III (aka DCS III or just DCS) from the first print MM (Dec '77) is missing its wings, despite having an 18"/round flying move. The later drawing, also by DCS, from the 2nd print MM (May '78) has the wings added as well as other changes. Also altered were the Type III Demon and Nightmare.</span><br /> <br /> </span><div><span style="font-family: arial;">An <a href="http://www.dragonsfoot.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=20226&p=365217&#p365217">older post on Dragonsfoot</a> by Paul Stormberg of the Collector's Trove provides some context for these changes:</span></div> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: arial;">"Dave (DCSIII) told me he didn't like some of the creatures he drew (Type III Demon, Chimera, Dinosaurs, and some others) as they had to be hastily done. DCS was a fast artist but it made his quality suffer. The Monster Manual was supposed to be done by Dave Trampier but he worked slowly and often quit and went home or to the local bar to blow off steam regardless of deadlines. Not so for DCS. He labored long into the night to get things done and sacrificed quality for speed when ordered to do so. Tramp was different, he was the golden boy for Gary and Gary did not push him on deadlines. Instead Dave was asked to pick up the slack.<br /><br />When Dave got the Monster Manual blue lines from the printer he saw "this huge hole" in the document. There were no dinosaur illustrations, at all, just many blank pages. So that night Dave did all of the dinosaur drawings. He was supposed to be working on other things but crammed and speed drew things to pick up the slack. So a few pictures that had been hastily drawn by DCS, and that always bugged Dave were redrawn by him for later editions of the <acronym class="id82" title="Monster Manual">MM</acronym>. It is the only book where he does this because it was never meant to be his project and the hastily drawn stuff bugged him so he just had to fix some things.<br /><br />In the end, DCS was selected to be the Art Director for his work ethic and he slowly moved away from having time to create art. Ultimately he directed cartography at the company which you begin to see in fantastic maps like those in I6 Ravenloft."</span></div> </blockquote> <div> <span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div> <div><span style="font-family: arial;">Tom Wham is also listed in the credits, and contributed both classic "bestiary" drawings that blend well with the others (Beholder, Blink Dog, Herd Animal, Gynosphinx) as well as his signature cartoons (Giant Lynx, Mind Flayer, Giant Pike). </span></div> <div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">In addition to the altered artwork, later MM prints also added new art.

Again, I grabbed the auction photo so the image is low-res. I looked into some of the old threads on the Acaeum, and it seems that the drawings were <a href="http://www.acaeum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=630&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=20">auctioned on Ebay in 2004</a>, and were bought by the Burntwire Brothers. They later sold the Masher drawing, but still own the Drow Captain - you can it in their gallery <a href="http://www.munchkinpress.com/cpg149/displayimage.php?album=23&pos=12">here</a>. </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This drawing came with a "</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">detailed description page" by Kevin Hendryx for the artist to reference. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">     According to the original auctioneer, "</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Believe it or not this stuff came from the estate of a 96 year old woman who lived in Lake Como, WI and once operated a resale shop in Sharon, WI".  The auctioneer speculated she got it from a dumpster, which wouldn't surprise me given what I've heard about TSR throwing out original art.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">    As far as I know, the Drow Captain art was never published, but instead used for a Grenadier mini in the Action Art Set (8002), 1980.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> As indicated below in the insert, Gygax selected the figures to include in the set.

First up is an image I've used for years as my avatar on the Acaeum & Dragonsfoot forums. It's small (low-res) and has a moire pattern in the background due to its source: </span><span id="goog_1524090701">I snagged the image long ago (2004?) from an auction of original Erol Otus drawings that was posted on the Acaeum. The seller was the Burntwire Brothers, who are long-standing Acaeum members with an impressive game room featuring their collection and much original artwork, which they shared in <a href="http://www.acaeum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8714&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0">this thread</a></span>. The <a href="http://www.thecollectorstrove.com/">Collector's Trove</a> (who I believe purchased the Otus artwork) later indicated that the back of the drawing has "Monster Manuel" [sic], "Reduce 60%" and "Masher" written on it. This suggests the drawing was intended to illustrate the Masher entry in the 1E AD&D Monster Manual, which describes them in this way: "These worm-like fish move slowly along coral reefs, crushing and eating the coral growth...Mashers have a number of dorsal spines, 4' long, with poisonous secretions". The drawing fits this description accurately, showing an underwater worm with dorsal spines, mashing coral. <br /> <br />       The Masher originally appeared in the Blackmoor supplement, albeit with much less description: "Coral eaters, harmless unless frightened, if so is just like 20 hit dice Purple worm, with treasure". This is one of Steve Marsh's contributions that Gary elaborated on for the Monster Manual, which thanks Marsh "for devising the creatures for undersea encounters which originally appeared in BLACKMOOR." The masher is one of the most obscure monsters in the MM, often entirely forgotten due to being aquatic and lacking an illustration. The Monster Manual had artwork added to the first four printings (1977-1979), <a href="http://www.acaeum.com/library/errata_mm.html">as detailed here</a>, so this piece may have been intended for a further revision that never happened; the original MM never included any Otus pieces. The Masher would certainly gotten more attention over the years if it had a cool Otus illustration! <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'><span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn'>Zenopus Archives</span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://zenopusarchives.blogspot.com/2012/02/obscure-art-friday-masher-by-erol-otus.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' title='2012-02-24T11:28:00-08:00'>11:28 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://zenopusarchives.blogspot.com/2012/02/obscure-art-friday-masher-by-erol-otus.html#comment-form' onclick=''>8 comments</a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-2130566528'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=4046247285022763255&postID=1092553660848575687&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=4046247285022763255&postID=1092553660848575687&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=4046247285022763255&postID=1092553660848575687&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");
