[QUOTE="jgbrowning, post: 1053358, member: 5724"] I've just written the introduction for A Magical Society: Ecology and Culture and have been thinking about the artwork. Given that I have several issues I'm thinking about, I thought to open the discussion to you guys. I'm not, and never have been, a big art fan in rpgs. However, I know its important to a lot of people so hopefully some of ya'll will speak up and give me your opinions. Brief outline of the book before art questions: MS:EC is about ecologies and cultures in the magical society line. This means that we're talking into account what effect magic could have on world creation, biomes/habitats, lifeforms, and cultures. It has three main sections: 1 about planet building, 2 about ecologies/biomes, and 3 about culture. It's going to give a massive amount of ideas and information to GMs so they can make their world a more immersive environment, and help out new world-building. Now art info... we're going to use illustrations (ie. what does a glacier look like stuff) to help explain landforms and also diagrams like food webs. We're also going to use a lot of portraits of "native" people. Native meaning native to what environment they're living in. 1. Would you like to see one artist showcased, or multiple artists? 2. 144-page softcover B&W for $25 or color for $30? or a 144-page softcover B&W for 25$ or hardback B&W for 32$? 3. Would you like to see a few full-page illustrations or would you dislike the "waste of space"? 4. I'd like every piece of art to show an idea from the book in practice, wether or not its two people arguing around a fire near the section about cultural types of dispute resolution or simply showing a miner when talking about mines. Do ya'll think artwork is "better" when used in such mannor? (in my experience its harder to layout, that's why i'm asking) We've got a long way to go in the writing and a lot of time for an artist(s) to work. Thanks for the replies. joe b. [/QUOTE]
