Monster Stock Art & Minis Kickstarter Meets Goal! Stretch Goals & More Samples Posted

InkwellIdeas · Feb 14, 2012

A few days ago we met the goal to fund this project! Now we're looking for help to make it better for everyone.

The original project was to create 100 images spread among 50+ creatures. These images would be used as stock art for any publisher who pledges for those rewards as well as art for a set of 400 laminated cardstock miniatures.

Now that the project is funded, any further pledges will go toward making it better for everyone! For every $1000 pledged, we're adding about 10 more monster images to the project.

So if you're pledging for the miniatures, your set will have more variety. (You'll still have the option to pick sheets with many common creatures.)
If you're pledging for stock art, we're more likely to fill out the 150 reward and hopefully make the "all" rewards worthwhile.
Even if you're pledging for a smaller stock art package, you will have more images from which to choose.

Most recent update which has the specifics of which creatures we're adding (based on survey results of backers to date) as well as new samples

New update posted with two more samples (black dragon and manticore) and some new information:
Monster Stock Art Update #10

InkwellIdeas · Feb 21, 2012

New update with the water elemental, spectre and a draft of how the minis will be laid out. (Which minis will be on which sheet.)

InkwellIdeas · Feb 27, 2012

We've made it to our first stretch goal! So several more monsters will be added to the project. (Basilisk, Chimera, Cockatrice, Manticore, Sphinx, Dire Rat, Dire Wolverine, Dire Lion, Dire Ape, and Dire Shark.) Another $1000 adds 8-10 more! This update notes that and shows our Gelatinous Cube and Fire Elemental. Check it out!

Remember this project has two uses/audiences: stock art for publishers and laminated cardstock miniatures (with a pdf option).

More art posted for the Monster Stock Art & Minis project.

Here's one of the new ones, a dryder:

If you're a game publisher, get a collection of 25, 50, 100, 150 or more monster images. Pick your favorites or get them all!

If you're a gamer looking for an economical collection of minis, the project includes a reward that gets you 400+ minis on laminated cardstock for just $25. (And get more for $3/sheet.)

We've made our initial goal and even our first stretch goal, but for every $1000 we go over, we're adding more creatures to the project!

Only 5 days left as I write this! Get 400+ minis for $25. And/or get publishable stock art for a very good price.

I've posted two updates to the the project since last posting here:
Art Keeps Rolling In; Sample Minis Sheet - Shows samples of the kobolds and dire rat and wererat. Plus a look at one of the (albeit incomplete) sheets of minis.
Second Stretch Goal Reached; Minotaur & Ghoul Samples; How Things Wrap Up - As the title mentions, we made it to our 2nd of 4 stretch goals! And we could add even more creatures! As with every update, I posted more samples. Finally I restated how the post-pledging survey will be used to select any extras you want, particularly if you're selecting the minis.
