[Eriawyn]

If any of you are familiar with Keith Parkinson's work, he was one of the main D&D artist's, his work is on the cover of many fiction novel's you probably own, and his work graced the cover of the original three EverQuest game's.

He passed away last thursday, the 27th of October.

Keith was an awesome artist who did some of the defining artwork for some of the best known roleplaying games. He influenced the look and feel of Gamma World, Rifts and many others.
His talent went beyond the roleplaying Market and did many other things beyond the roleplaying covers many of us knew him for.

He will be missed.
