Do we go there when we die lads? To the world's we fell in love with? I'd like to think he's in a better place, riding dragons and shit
Adam Garcia
No. When you die it's just a blip on a screen, then a flatline. After that all you were and have been is gone and there is nothing. Absolutely nothing. You just don't exist anymore
Henry Murphy
O'Connor died at 47. Imagine if he was able to paint and draw till he was at least 60.
We are robbed of 13 more years of art.
Fuck this world. Why do good ones always leave before their time?
James Wright
Who knows, it’s possible
Cameron Ross
Because they give everything to their art. Even their life

RIP in peace
Zachary Russell
Damn man, his 4e art is the coolest shit! He will be missed. F
Asher Brooks
I was actually just talking to my friend about how much I liked 4e's interior art too. I had no idea he'd passed away.
Goodnight sweet prince.
Zachary Reed
Yeah. His artwork really made 4ed stand out.
Aiden Williams
While my tastes have changed in the last decade - it was this guy's art that first got me to pick up the a Beastiary and take an interest in D&D. Like his stuff or not, it really is a major loss for the hobby/community as a whole.

Jacob Long
this one?
Bentley Peterson
On man, sadness.
Noah Reyes
Post some of his art, I'm not sure I would recognize it as being his. Wayne Reynolds, for example, for all his sins has a unique style.

Really did a lot setting some excellent racial aesthetics for 4e, especially for the dwarfs.
Bookstore's closed at the moment and if I don't have something lying around on my desk to remind me, I'll forget entirely. I'll try a sketch or two from e-hentai and then probably get around to buying.

Relatively speaking, a near eternity of death until revelations in which Christ in the second coming resurrects us for the final battle.
If until then dragons become kosher for celestial warfare I don’t know. But there’s the chance.
"I would have to say that "The Green Knight" is my favorite. Of all my paintings, it is the only one that hangs in my home. For me it is the purest composition, compelling narrative, and painted well. It was the process of that painting that makes it my favorite. Even today, I can recall the sheer pleasure of executing that piece. The paint just sang, using stains and scumbles, scratches, impasto, and glazes, it was like playing."
