Looking for old clip art collection PDF

[Kiln Publications]

OK here is an image I did today of a silver chalise. If this is cool to you let me know and I will do another object, if you all like that then I will begin my clipart collection vol. 1 As for people I have no problem doing that also, however there is more time involved in something like that and for images like that the quanity would be alot less on a CD or grouping but cost more let's say 10 images for $5.00 or 25 images for $10. This is due to the time put into each piece. If you like what you see here feel free to let me know and if so start posting lists of what you would buy on a clip art disc. I was thinking 50 images (objects) for $5.00 would be very fair for the amount of detail in some of them.

Great rendition Kiln! Your stippling is well done. We at Alea Publishing Group, another publisher, would like to see a product featuring great art such as that to put into our products.

I personally do prefer more "people doing stuff" images than just "coins, tankards," etc., but that's just me. I like people in my art.

Hey Sigil, as well as other publishers, we also provide quality art of people in medieval settings that is public domain - which means that the images are copyright free! We also explain how you can manipulate them so they become copyrightable material.

Check out APG Studio Companion Vol. I. We initially put this product out to help other publishers such as ourselves or Gam Masters wanting to spruce up their personal website without all the legal hassle.

Can't wait to see that .pdf of items, Kiln!

Yeah, this is the stuff. Nice detail. Another example would be good, too

Generic action shots would be good and your pricing seems about right. I didn't mention these simply becuase I was talking specifically about stuff, but I would certainly be happy to purchase quality clipart of people too.

Well, I like the one you've shown so far and the pricing you mention seems reasonable - which means that the bottom line is that I'd certainly purchase it.

The sort of stuff I would be looking for would add a little visual flavour to the page and help break up the flow of the text. One off items are fine (like your chalice), but I'd also like multiple item shots - for instance:

a hand holding a quill, writing on a scroll with an ink pot; a half empty bottle of wine with a goblet (and perhaps another bottle fallen over); a dagger dripping with blood (or poison); a table and chair with odds and ends on the table; a bundle of clothes and boots; a half-opened chest stuffed with loot

There are lots more examples I could give, but I'm sure you get the picture. A good number of these, as well as a number of one item images would be a valuable resource IMO.

Anyway, HTH.

The artwork is nice, but (as suggested by the title) very medieval (rather than fantasy). I could certainly see myself extracting parts of the images, though would unlikely use them in their entirety (except maybe one or two). Still, useful enough to have in the library

Bought that one a few hours after it appeared on RPGNow.com... I'm a daily visitor and very little gets by my radar. I think I have *all* of the "re-usable in game products clip art"-type stuff available at RPGNow priced under $20.

The chalice looks great to me! And your pricing, as mentioned, seems very fair.

As I mentioned, I would love to see "people" - maybe a set of "iconics" (not the WotC set of iconics per se, but one fighter, one wizard, one rogue, etc.) and/or a collection of pictures for a class (e.g., a "fighter" set, a "cleric" set, and so forth).

I have to agree also with the sentiment posted above; groups of related "items" would be nice - one writing/scroll scribing set with a quill, a couple of scrolls, a book, and ink blotter and so forth... perhaps also an "alchemy" set with beakers and potions and bottles and such, one "rods and staffs" set, one "wands" set, one "weapons" set, a "craftsmans/thieves tools" set, a "rings" set, one "ships at sea" set with lanyards, barrels, ropes and pulleys, perhaps a "doors, walls, and traps" set for dungeons, and so forth. Maybe a "banners and borders" set as well, for independent publishers to use to "decorate" the edges of pages.

Another thing I would really love to see, though this may be somewhat out of what you were looking to do, it "city scenes" and "nature scenes" - a la the LPJ Design book that had about 15-ish "city scenes" with buildings and towers, and such. I loved the "city scenes" booklet and wish I had (a lot) more of these.

My own preference would be to see some more pictures of "people" first, followed by "city scenes" and "nature scenes" since there are already a few sets of clipart out there with "stuff" (the V Shane series comes to mind), but you can never have enough "new faces" and there are quite simply so few "city scenes" and "nature scenes" that there's a niche to be filled. But, as I mentioned, that's my own personal preference.

I know that's a long wish list, but I guess the bright side is you know you can get a LOT of money out of me, anyway, because there are a lot of products I would love to see and am willing to pay for.

Thanks for all of the info and help. I will post another example next week. I have s show Sunday then it off to my wife's and mine first anniversary getaway for a few days. I have thought about the city and nature scenes as well. The people one I have thought of too, but no one has commented on if the people CD price point would be OK to them. Again it takes longer to draw a person rather then an object. As for the multiply objects scenarios already thought of that too.

The people price point is fine with me. I could see myself paying $10 for 25 illustrations of people (full body, though - not just "head shots," if you please - have plenty of those from the Elmore CD and the Mongoose Fantasy Hero/Heroine series; I'm talking more than just a head).

Yes full shot of the body and an extra file of the head off of it if you need it, that would count as 1 image since you are using the same head shot. Would be two files...

Hello, sorry for the delay in posting. I am completing a comic book inking job the past several weeks. After that it is all RPG from here on out. Here is a sample of a rope that can be used for placement into your products. Let me know what you think. After this one I am going to begin the other clip art. Quick question would you be willing to purchase smaller packs of art such as 25 for $2.50? That way I can get the volumes out quicker.
