Hi! So me and @blancamz are publishing a book with @andrewsmcmeelbooks later this year based on our Dungeons & Drawings art blog! We got some proof copies through recently and I’m here to tell you: they look amazing.
You might be familiar with our three self-published volumes we’ve put out over the last few years: this is a much fancier beast entirely!
277 pages (120+ monster illustrations, each with beginner-friendly stats)
Extensively researched folkloric background on each creature (we’ve basically completely rewritten and expanded the creature descriptions we did in the previous volumes - this was SO MUCH WORK haha)
over 20 either BRAND NEW or updated illustrations (because we drew some of these back in like 2011 y'all!!)
10" x 10" dimensions (almost twice as big as our other books but still fits nicely on a shelf or coffee table)
Hardcover (a first for either of us!)
✨Gold foil emboss on the cover illustration✨
In-depth reference section and some pages of rough sketchbook work
Basically, it's great and we're super proud of it.
You'll be able to pick it up at all good bookstores (Andrews McMeel have great distribution internationally) or from us directly at any conventions we're tabling at, but if you're feeling impatient you can preorder it at these links directly:

I can't overstate how much work went into this book! We hope you enjoy it!
