Midway came totally out of nowhere, I wasn't considering Chicago and it turns out to be a fabulous city."

Reader Project - Goblin Attack
CG Choice Award Winner Howard Lyon gives readers the scoop on how he created the Goblin Attack image which recently won acclaim on CGTalk.
This illustration was done for Paizo Publishing's Dragon magazine. The Art Director, Sean Glenn has always given me a lot of freedom with my ideas, and gives the kind of feedback that only enhances the painting and the process. The initial direction given was for a group of heroes to be in the middle of a dungeon, about to be swarmed by a horde of goblins. The attention should be primarily on the heroes, and then the goblins.
