Jim Holloway did a great job with this artwork! Can't quite tell if it's better than File:InvisibleStalker.png, Doug Stewart and Tim Beach's version! ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 23:46, 29 May 2021 (UTC)


 * It's a tough choice to make, sure, but I think I have to raise the issue of whether these are duplicate images or not. The Monstrous Manual version might be a reprint of Monstrous Compendium Volume One. Can we confirm the alleged artists of both images? And I don't think we need both on the one invisible stalker page, so can we merge them? BadCatMan (talk) 00:42, 30 May 2021 (UTC)


 * They're not duplicates. There are two "artists" credited for the illustrations of the invisible stalker in the later Monstrous Manual: Tim Beach and Doug Stewart. Neither of these two artists are referenced in the earlier material (not even as authors, editors, etc). Thus, they must be separate. ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 00:53, 30 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Okay, I see it, or rather, don't see it. Although I'd say their "work" on this was in their capacity as project coordinator and editor, respectively, rather than as artists. Obviously. And are we meant to be believe Tim Beach and Doug Stewart, no artists, independently came up with the exact same artwork as the great Jim Holloway four years earlier?!


 * But for the earlier Monstrous Compendium, no signature appears on the image or page, and Jim Holloway's artist credit is for the book as a whole, and as he clearly never put pen to paper, the attribution seems iffy. So I presume the earlier invisible stalker artwork was also the work of a coordinator, editor, or designer, but we can't say whom. BadCatMan (talk) 01:32, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
