A little backstory: David Trampier: 1954-2014
Trampier’s best-known work is the 1978 cover of the first-ever Player’s Handbook—the one manual every D&D player must own. It depicts adventurers cleaning up after a successful battle against lizardmen; men pry giant gems from the eye sockets of a demonic idol, a tough guy wipes lizard blood off his sword and warriors consult a map leading to their next conquest. In a 2011 survey of Trampier’s work, fantasy author Saladin Ahmed praised the cover as “arguably the most iconic piece of art in all of RPGdom.”
This 3d print of the statue Immortalizes the art of Trampier. I know there's a UK company that sells tabletop statues but Its more fun having printed it myself ^_^
I've seen this statue on the cover of the AD&D Player's Handbook as well as page 125 of the 2nd edition AD&D Dungeon Master's Guide. I've also seen a pretty awesome poster printed on canvas (which I intend to order eventually) depicting a huge bar fight with iconic DND characters in a bar fight with the same statue in the background. 13039 You may recognize this print.
I intend to print it 3x larger so I can clean it up better, print the flame in clear and solder in a flickering LED. Finally painting the statue and using it for IRL tabletop games!
