If you have fond memories of spending long summer nights huddled around a table playing Dungeons & Dragons– or just loved flipping through the menagerie of bizarre fantasy creatures illustrated in the classic Monster Manual– you'll definitely want to keep an eye on a developing digital art series by comic artist and gaming enthusiast Patrick Sean Farley.

Farley's site Monster Box is devoted to 3D digital models rendered with the ZBrush application, based mainly on the original Dungeons & Dragons Monster Manual by the late Gary Gygax – an essential part of any old-school gamer's library.

Farley intends to upload a different creature render each week, progressing from simpler forms to more advanced monster designs in the future, and it looks like he's off to an excellent start already. Future posts may include characters from the equally revered Fiend Folio, Deities & Demigods and even the Arduin Grimoire. You can check out his latest creations at Monster Box.
