Though don't look as effective at these small sizes, but I do think these two illustrations really capture the exotic feel of Tékumel.Universal Headnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-46908513517210527902012-10-18T07:39:53.716-04:002012-10-18T07:39:53.716-04:00Hey, thanks for the answer Universal Head, and tha...Hey, thanks for the answer Universal Head, and that bigger image Tony Balammbo art looks great.<br /><br />This would be byt he same artist?<br />http://rpggeek.com/image/515998/tekumel-players-handbook-box-set<br /><br />Man, he was good.Jonasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-54012205764235640112012-10-17T16:43:32.648-04:002012-10-17T16:43:32.648-04:00More info - the artist was Tony Balammbo, who has ...More info - the artist was Tony Balammbo, who has since passed away, unfortunately.

As to what it depicts, it appears to be a battle scene on the streets of a Tékumellian city. There's a nonhuman Pé Chói on the left, but I'm not sure if the armour and shield devices of the foreground figures actually identify where they're from. Any Tékumel fans out there know?Universal Headnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-51344818728628405722012-10-17T04:47:41.565-04:002012-10-17T04:47:41.565-04:00What is going on in this tiny pic, and whose art i...What is going on in this tiny pic, and whose art it is, there is something oddly familiar in it?<br />http://tekumel.com/images/homecolumnpic3.jpgJonasnoreply@blogger.com
