thanks for your help everyone, its definitely by Carl Boppo, engraved by Richard Brend'amour, and published in the magazine Niva, heres the shot of it in the magazine. i was hoping this would lead me to whole loads of sick janissary engravings, but its a bit of a dead end.

some more unused d4 concept art. i thought a creepy baby tapeworm monster would be sick

heres what the sketches for the Lion of Jabir looked like. initially they were more like actual lions, but they got weirder as time went on as i added more human elements.

optimum ARPG dungeon design. one big corridor 50m wide. no turns. straight to boss arena. is some sort of dimly lit catacomb with lots of barrels and crates to explode

animal just wouldnt have cared about his tempo
