When I last spoke to him two weeks ago, Jim was finishing up his next set of assignments for DCC RPG. These will be published posthumously in the Dungeon Crawl Classics Role Playing Game, which will be dedicated to Jim Roslof.
Here are a few of his illustrations that Goodman Games has published over the years. I have always loved his "skinny heroes" and "non-tank" warriors. Only Jim Roslof could create a dwarf that wasn't a gravity-defying hulk, and a warrior who was comfortable dungeon-crawling in a chain shirt and light steel helm, rather than the ponderous plate mail "tanks" of modern D&D imagery. His clerics look like they just walked out of a church, not a crusade, and his heroes fight with round shields: all subtle reminders of what D&D was like in 1974.
