Any artists here?
« on: December 15, 2005, 11:45:09 am »
It'd be cool to add some sketches to my rules.  I was trying to get pictures online, but it's too much trouble to find ones that have a free license; I could have gotten some from this one site, that were really good, but I didn't feel like emailing him for permission :)

The types of pictures I want are just like pencil sketches, no color.  Pictures (maybe just faces) of the various races, maybe some monsters, and other random drawings that would fit nicely.  It would give the book a lot more life!

They'll be licensed in an open way, so that anybody can use them.  So you have to be comfortable with that.  Yes, I support opensource for documents, too :)

Haha.  I'm pretty sure Kaleeko would be willing to draw some things for us, you'd have to talk to her.  It would seem better if it was someone in our group, though. :)

Yeah, I don't even know Kaleeko, I'd prefer somebody I at least know, somebody who owes me a favor anyway :)

Haha.  Kaleeko is in to RP and she is a really talented artist.  I can talk to her about it if you want, but I see what you mean. :)

Well, draw an orc and a dwarf, and I'll tell you what I think.

I'm planning on making them pretty small (1.5" tall by whatever wide), and black and white. 

I might also use some larger illustrations of whatever (just random stuff) to fill in space. :)

Okay!  I'll draw them big and then scan them whenever I get a chance.

My first orc looked like shit, so I set it on fire.  My second one was okay.  I'm in the process of making a good ish looking one.
