[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 6841974, member: 50895"] A publisher planted a new venture seed yesterday. Recently I’ve been creating photo-realistic ship deck plans as personal projects to create map accessories for tabletop roleplaying game players including an interstellar cargo freighter, and more recently a steam-powered starship with a Victorian style (?!), but I’ve created 18th century deck plans of ships of sail in the past. Louis Porter Jr. of LPJ Designs asked if I would consider a product line called Stock Armada, as stock art deck plans for use by the many tabletop roleplaying game publishers that incorporate ship’s as part of their adventure modules and supplements. I never considered doing maps as stock art, but it’s certainly a novel idea. While I couldn’t make as much as a normal, freelance map commission, in the long tail of internet marketing, over time, many publishers might purchase a set, ultimately earning far more profits than a single commission. Stock art for game publishers traditionally are monster/character illustrations and fantasy graphics for use as cover designs, interior and border art. Maps as stock art has never been done, so this would be the first of its kind. Ship decks are common settings for many game genres from fantasy and historic, to sci-fi, Cthulhu inspired and steam punk – there are many possibilities. Each product would contain all decks of a given ship design, plus 3 variations in dress. Say a deck plan for an 18th century naval frigate (which is the first product planned) I provide standard naval accouterments for one design, a royal flag ship version with more luxury items aboard, one with the poop deck removed and guns added for a pirate version, and one with battle damage such as broken masts, cannonball holes, even a leaking cargo deck. Variations would depend on the type of ship being described. Plans are to create ships of sail, starships, steam punk air ships, and D&D Spelljammer ship deck plans. I could see creating an early 20th century luxury liner, a WWII U-boat, a tramp steamer or a luxury yacht, many possible designs for many possible games. As stated, this never a plan I had, just the notion to jump on any possible ventures I run into, and I just ran into this idea, yesterday. I think it has lots of potential. [/QUOTE]
