Another image colorized from my "Stuff I Did in the '80s" series. These were just some of the albums I played non-stop as a teen. What were yours?🎵🎶

I absolutely loved it @realgdt.bsky.social ! Especially the nods to Bernie Wrightson.⚡️

Here's some favorite stills from the final season of WONDLA, airing on Apple TV November 26th!✨

The finale to Eve Nine's journey drops on November 26th only on AppleTV! ✨

The Ted Turner colorization of some of my select entries of "Stuff I Did in the 80s" continues. With the upcoming end of MTV, this one seems especially poignant to us Gen Xers and fans of all things 80s.📼

I am cleaning up and coloring a few select images from my "Stuff I Did in the '80s" series for...things.🤫 I'm also going to color up the D&D scene but I'm wondering if there are any others you like. I'll add a link to the entire series is in the comments below.

✨Coming soon!✨

🎉Happy Birthday to the incredibly versatile Gustaf Tenggren, who was born on this day back in 1896! The Swedish-born Tenggren had three amazing acts to his career, which showcases his evolution as an artist:

🎃Happy Halloween!🎃

In continuing with celebrating the 20th anniversary of "Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You", here is a collection of preliminary sketches (some have never been shown) which reveal that creature design for this book happened over the course of many years. Enjoy!

🎃 It's my favorite time of the year! 🎃 Download your own vintage-styled Halloween decorations on my site here: diterlizzi.com/activities/

"Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You" was released on October 25th, 2005. Although we did a 20th anniversary edition last year, with several pages of new art, I thought I'd share some behind-the-scenes photos and memories of this momentous book in my career.🧵

Inktober, Day 25, "Inferno": Here's a spiny devil, for today's entry, sitting upon a throne forged of lost souls.🔥

Inktober, Day 20, "Rivals": I am behind on entries (and my week is only getting busier), but I did manage to ink this drawing, of a warrior facing off with a lindwyrm, that I sketched 20 years ago. 20! Boy, am I happy to finally ink it at last.⚔️🛡

🎉Happy Birthday to Edmund Dulac, who was born on this day 1882! A favorite of the Golden Age of Illustration, Dulac was one of the few artists with technical skill to rival the likes of Arthur Rackham and Beatrix Potter. His twilight soaked imagery is dreamlike and otherworldly.🧵

Inktober, Day 21, "Blast": Gnome blasts goblin with magic missile. KaBOOM!💥

What do actors Clara Bow and Peter Lorre have to do with an award-winning, bestselling picture book? Read on and enjoy!🪰 🕷 diterlizzi.com/essay/behind...

Inktober, Day 19, “Arctic”: I’ve been busy the past couple of days so today’s entry is from the archive: a D&D adventure set in the arctic that I illustrated way-back-when. Stay warm! ❄️

Inktober, Day 18, “Deal”: I’m not sure what a fly demon, or Chasme, could want from a hobbit. Perhaps honey is hard to find in the Abyss.🪰

Inktober, Day 17, "Ornate": Every character I've drawn in the D&D Planescape setting is donned in intricately detailed, ornate armor. This tiefling was sketched in 2019, when I was first asked to contribute artwork for the newest edition, but was changed considerably in the final illustration.⚔️

Art collectors, I contributed an original fairy sketch for Nucleus Portland's 10th Anniversary Postcard Exhibition, opening on November 8th. Good luck!🧚 www.nucleusportland.com/blogs/future...

Inktober, Day 16, "Blunder": Husky Thunderbolt and Helmet Feldspar blunder onto a troll's hunting path while in search for their next adventure...and it looks as if the troll won the initiative.🧌

Inktober, Day 15 "Ragged": Dark clouds shifted along the horizon, exposing the full moon. The creature, now silvery in the moonlight, continued its hunt for food. Ragged clothing remained the only clue that it was once a human. A husband. A father. But that was long ago and his family was no more.💀

I cannot emphasize how unbelievably gifted the legendary artist, Drew Struzan, was. 🧵

Inktober, Day 14 "Trunk": Only the oldest trees know the true history of a land.🌳

Inktober, Day 13, "Drink": I've a busy day today, so here's a favorite from 2017 of a house brownie, Fig Pinkmoon, watching me draw over afternoon tea.(He doesn't like having his portrait drawn).🫖

Inktober, Day 12 “Tattered”: A wererat king, draped in tattered finery, ruling over a broken kingdom.🐀

Inktober, Day 11, "Sting": A sketch that was drawn for a fairy mobile that I created for my retrospective back 2017.🧚

Inktober, Day 10 "Sweep": I've often wanted the barmaid, or alewife, to join our adventuring party on a D&D quest. I think having someone who was less skilled in fighting and looting would bring an honest perspective to the quest, not unlike Samwise Gamgee in "The Lord of the Rings"...

Inktober, Day 9, "Heavy": This is the heaviest character I could think of. It is a revisit to one of the first color prints I offered way back in 1993 at my first Gen Con Art Show, on the heels of the release of the AD&D "Monstrous Manual". 🎨

The epic finale to the WondLa animated series airs in November on AppleTV+! 🪐 www.animationmagazine.net/2025/10/appl...

Inktober, Day 8, "Reckless": I may have been a little reckless inking such an ambitious image over afternoon tea, but I've wanted to realize this drawing of a D&D Bulette since I first sketched it back in 2006.

Inktober Day 7, "Starfish": A revisit to one of my favorite sketches done during the "Drawn to Fantasy" livestreams, held over the 2020 lockdown.⭐️

Inktober Day 6, "Pierce": I finally inked a favorite sketch drawn back in 2005!⚔️

Inktober Day 5, "Deer": The Peryton is a creature which first appeared in the "Book of Imaginary Beings", inspired by medieval heraldry. Though they appear as seen, they cast the shadow of a human, their preferred prey. According to D&D, they particularly enjoy dining on the heart of their victim. 🦌

Inktober Day 4, "Murky": Out of the murky shadows of a new moon came the wight, its unblinking pale eyes glowing in the foggy gloom like Death itself hunting for souls.💀

Inktober Day 3 "Crown": I have this drawing from 2019 that I was going to redo, but there's a painting on the easel (for a yet-to-be-announced project) that needs finishing so this li'l fella will have to do.👑

Inktober Day 2 "Weave": The Dungeons & Dragons Ettercap made its monstrous debut in 1981's "Fiend Folio" and was first illustrated by the late, great Russ Nicholson. I had the opportunity to render this spidery critter over a decade later for the "AD&D Monstrous Manual".

"I can only say that I firmly believe in the educative power of imaginative, fantastic, and playful pictures and writings for children in their most impressionable years –– a view that most unfortunately, I consider, has its opponents in these matter of fact days.” ---Arthur Rackham🧵
