Title: Art Request: Put your minis in my game!
Post by: Elbows on 27 March 2016, 05:03:28 AM

Hey folks!  It's time again to ask for community help!

I've been working on a dungeon crawl game for some 10 years or more and have finally been encouraged to put more finishing work into it.  As I'm finished up my 2nd Edition of Shoot N' Skedaddle, it's time to gather some art - that's where you come in!

Much like Shoot N' Skedaddle (my Old West skirmish game), I'd like to use painted miniatures from the community here instead of art.  Simply put, I can't afford to pay an artist for dozens of piece of art.

What I'm hoping for!
-Crisp clean paintjobs on generic Fantasy miniatures.
-No Games Workshop material, or other litigious companies who'd throw a fit if their miniatures ended up on character cards!
-Clean, clear photos.
-Nothing too bright or goofy

Here is a list of the starting creatures, but the game will expand as I have time, so please post whatever you can.

-Orcs
-Goblins
-Skeletons
-Ghouls
-Zombies
-Spiders
-Bats
-Rats
-Bugbears
-Beastmen
-Lizardmen
-Fimirs
-Ogres
-Trolls
-Ghosts
-Minotaurs
-Wraiths
-Dragons
-Giant Spiders
-Wyverns
-Giant
-Golems (various) etc.

So, very generic fantasy.  If you've got painted figures, I'd love to see them.  Here is a sample of my Old West cards and some early dungeon card tests to give you an idea of what I'm on about.

Here was a quick test using my own miniatures (not to the level I'd like to have on the cards).

Also, I'd love to include thematic scenes if people have some nicely photographed dungeon dioramas etc.  Always up for "mood" pieces to include in the rulebook.  If you can provide some pics of miniatures, I'd be very grateful.  I'll include names and citations in the art credits.  Thanks!

Would you want us to post them here or send them to you in a pm?

Whichever you'd like.

I've received a couple of PMs.  Also, if you're a painting service, I have no problem including a link to your site in the pdf rulebook.  That's what I've done with SnS.  Here is an example of a scene picture I'll be using.  So if you have any thematic scenes like this, I'd love to use some of them too!

This looks to be pretty cool!
