Old School Style Artist

[Turanil]

Just a thought: you could maybe sell your art as Stock Art PDFs (see here an example of what I mean) for various publishers to use in their products. If it was so, I would certainly be interested in buying them.

Loving the art for OSRIC. Makes me want the book to be out sooner.

Thanks for the compliments everyone! I sincerely appreciate it. Turanil, I have not thought about it before, but it certainly is an interesting idea that I would not be opposed to. I wonder what kind of interest there would be for it? I guess it would be a rather novel idea to get paid for my art. The OSRIC Companion is not for profit so I'm not getting paid. I'm doing it more as a labor of love for a game that has brought endless hours of entertainment to me.

I do have my own OSRIC module series in the works that I'm writing and doing all of the art for. I'm not sure when that will get released as I'm concentrating on the OSRIC Companion pretty heavily at the moment. I hope to have around 40 pieces in it (I'm working as fast as I can!!!! ) maybe more depending on how I can work it around family and work. So Look for more pics here...

Here's a nalfeshnee I did for the OSRIC Companion. I'm working on doing all of the devils and demons for the book. Let me know what you think.

So you have NOTHING to lose! Just give the OSRIC project one free license to use your art, and maybe add in that book a line stating that it is available for others to use at a small fee. Get a look at RPGnow at some of their already art PDFs, to see what number of illustrations at what price. Then ask RPGnow what they think about it, and go for it. If there is enough pics and reasonable price per PDF, you should be able to sell a few. Even if in the end you only make 100$ or 200$, since you didn't expect any at first, you have gained that, along wider recognition (as this may bring you order work, who knows).

If (and when) yu do that, tell us, because I will buy a copy for my own "old-school" (free) netbooks.

The demon is cool as the other drawings. Keep up with the good work, congratulations!

That is one wicked nalfeshnee!

Thanks all, I'm really enjoying doing all of these critters. Here's my take on a Glabrezu:

 

[Angel Tarragon]

Cool Glabrezu! The black and white style is growing on me. I think I am going to print some of these out and put 'em on my wall!

I also want to add that your old school drawings are even better than those that appeared in AD&D1e!

Just out of curiosity: how much time it takes for you to make one such illustration?
