Dungeon crawling

Jean-Paul Bordier created this illustration for the magazine Casus Belli, to accompany a role-playing scenario. It is drawn in pencil: HB, 2B and mechanical pencil.

The drawing plunges into the old-school imagery of exploring dungeons and lost temples, full of traps, riddles and mysteries. The building rests on the backs of two colossal statues, a few rays of sunlight pierce the cave ceiling, and a maze of paths and collapsed bridges sinks into the depths of the caverns. The party of adventurers moves cautiously down the steps and discovers the dried-up corpse of an orc. The rounded runes suggest the wear of time and an ancient civilisation. In the distance, a few pots set along an entrance may hold some forgotten rubies.
