We continue the
series of geomorphs based on art from classic RPGs. Approaching this little project systematically, I naturally selected the only other piece of art from the Moldvay edition of the
Dungeons & Dragons Basic Set that suggested any kind of map (not counting actual maps).
This wandering giant snake (by Erol Otus) has the barest suggestion of a dungeon. The point of view would be placed just to the east of the central stair on this tile. I added additional embellishments (including a large room with a circular pit) to fill things out.

Nicely done. I always liked that illustration.
Nice-- you always have to love Otus' artwork, even the simple stuff.
Good stuff!
Nicely done. I am not familiar with this piece, where was it originally found?
@m.s.jackson: It's from the Moldvay basic set.
One of my favorite pics from that book! Neat map, too. This is a great set of geomorphs!
@rainswept: I'll definitely take a look at the owlbear and the mad hermit. My guess, though, is that I'm going to move on to AD&D stuff fairly quickly. Not a lot of illustrations that have full dungeon scenes in B/X.
@Cthulhu's Librarian: Yeah, I dig that one as well.
