Rsolof always seemed a little underrated until you go back and look at what he did and how much of it spanned the range from iconic like the covers to coloring in the world as with some of his interior black and white work in The Dragon and various modules. I'm sad to hear of his passing.Blacksteelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289298640828309072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-37071464861504745652011-03-22T03:29:01.017-04:002011-03-22T03:29:01.017-04:00It saddens me to hear of Jim Roslof's passing....It saddens me to hear of Jim Roslof's passing.

When I first saw Jim's work adorning TSR's various products back in the early 80's, I was a teenager. And as a teenager, we all had the world by the horns...."gonna live forever" attitudes. Now, here I am, in my early 40's and one of the iconic artists that influenced my own art is gone. <br /><br />A little piece of my past is gone and it just reminds me that the world's horns are larger than what I thought back then.<br /><br />R.I.P. Mr. Roslof and thanks for the wonderful inspiration your art gave to me and the rest of the gaming world.Gladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13319284428938855153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-17988226393645475382011-03-20T15:34:16.929-04:002011-03-20T15:34:16.929-04:00Jim Roslof lent hue to some very meaningful moment...Jim Roslof lent hue to some very meaningful moments in my childhood.<br /><br />R.I.P.Rone Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250661741748315880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-75704350746316521702011-03-20T13:58:59.112-04:002011-03-20T13:58:59.112-04:00Very sad.
