What's New With Convention Vixens?

WWW.LARRYELMORE.COM

With the completion of 4 wonderful pieces of ConVixens Pinup art. We humbly give thanks to Mr. Larry Elmore for his ongoing support of the Convention Vixens World. We will yet again be setup in the same area at DragonCon as last year in the Elmore Productions area with other companies that have partnered with this Illustrative Great.

Besides creating covers for Dungeons & Dragons, AD&D and other gaming books, Larry may be best known for his work with the world of Dragonlance produced by TSR. He has also painted covers for Sony Entertainment's EverQuest, and various computer game covers. And, has illustrated for publishers such as BAEN books, Bantam, Warner Books, ACE/Berkley, Doubleday, Del Rey,Wizard Press and D. C. Comics to name a few.


This year we will be sharing out booth space with our comic book publishing company, Peregrine Entertainment. http://www.peregrine-entertain.com/. Although our comic release dates for ConVixens won't be announced until next year, we will be happily promoting and handing out samples of Peregrine's ashcan comic of Books of Lore.

Which by no coincidence has our creator Merika Rock drawn as it's lead character, Jolie. This epic comic is sure to please the die hard fans that have been waiting for it's triumphant return, as well as raise the interests of new fans alike. - And did I mention that Larry Elmore is doing the artwork for this series?!?
