    Vintage TSR Larry Elmore Revolt of the Dwaves : Endless Quest True proof. Cromalin is a DuPont trademark this is not a Cromalin but according to Larry It was a True proof of the approval process from his painting.
    In the 80’s the process at TSR went painting, transparency, Cromalin approval proof (or in this case a true proof), then creation of the retail product. Most TSR Cromalin’s were destroyed. This may be the only surviving approval proof.
    The endless quest books were some of Larry’s first paintings he did for TSR.
    Larry does not remember how it came into his possession. He was working in-house at TSR at the time and probably just took it home after the approval process.
    The total size of this Cromalin is as seen in the pic. The image itself is larger than seen on the Endless Quest book so this may have been sized for a different product in addition to the Endless Quest book. Or could have just been made larger to check the color before being scaled to fit on the EQ book cover.
    This will include a certificate of authenticity that will attest that it comes from Larry’s collection. Both the COA and back of the Cromalin will be signed by Larry.

    What is a Cromalin? Cromalin is proprietary term used for a type of single sheet color proof used to check the registration of the colors, the existence of any egregious blemishes or other undesirable marks, and to confirm size and position of page elements. The Cromalin process utilizes several sheets—commonly four, one for each process color (Cyan, Yellow, Magenta, Black)—of clear photosensitive plastic. Each sheet is exposed to one of the color separation negatives, and, when treated with process colors, dots will adhere to the surface of the plastic in the image areas. The four exposed sheets of plastic each containing a different process color are aligned with each other in proper register and laminated together.
