Inspirational Art for Urbis
Posted 30th June 2008 at 02:36 PM by Jürgen Hubert
Good-looking art is vital for visualizing a setting. Unfortunately, I am unable to afford commissioning art for Urbis at the moment. However, I can still search the web for art that inspires me in the right ways, even if I can't use the art for the actual publications.

The first image could be a major western port city, possibly even Dartmouth itself. The second image could be a permanent halfling settlement on the Great Lake. The third looks like a major elven settlement, possibly Lorendur. And the final image could represent a major construction site in Praxus.
If you know of any other good art that would be appropriate for Urbis, please share it with me! The general architecture of human cities should not be medieval, but similar to Victorian-Age cities, if possibly on a grander scale (as envisioned by Jule Vernes).

Is Urbis going to be a free product? Because if so, many of those artists might be willing to let you use their pictures for free.
And even if not, you might be able to buy non-exclusive rights to use the image for pretty cheap. You're basically asking the artist "Would you like to be paid extra money for work that you've already done anyway?"
For comparison's sake, the publisher art packs on RPG Now usually go for $US 6-12 , and that's often for upwards of 10 images.Posted 1st July 2008 at 01:21 PM by arscott

No, I plan to make Urbis a commercial product one day - sold as both PDFs and as Print On Demand product at Lulu.com.Quote:Originally Posted by arscottIs Urbis going to be a free product? Because if so, many of those artists might be willing to let you use their pictures for free.
My current plans for Urbis-related art is to use as many period pieces from ClipArt.Com as possible (I've downloaded a huge number), and maybe commission a few pieces on top of that, depending on how much money I have left over. Perhaps I will even create some artwork by myself, if my skills have progressed sufficiently by that point...Posted 1st July 2008 at 01:57 PM by Jürgen Hubert
