[QUOTE="IssakThePale, post: 1044396, member: 11838"] [b]commisioned artworkd[/b] Hi all- I have commisioned vShane to do artwork. A wonderful guy and awesome artist. I have all his PDF art books and that is why I contacted him. I liked his style. I liked his prices and his fast paced work even more. But alas he got busy with higher paying clients. You can view the two pieces that he's done for me at [URL=http://www.thepale.org/artwork]CanonFire! Artwork[/URL] . The price for both pieces were very reasonable - and on the second one I asked for a few adjustments - from rocks to trees and number of bad guys. I'll say that on the Manticore picture I got a steal of a deal, and the Archer was $30. Becasue Shane's busy, I"m contacting a few others that I've found on the boards here - Alan and Storn. I think that it will benefit us (CanonFire!) to have different artists. If it's for home use, I suggest picking up vShane's PDF artwork - it's only $5 and you get a few PC portaits and weapons and items galore. You can also pick up LPJ Design artwork for the same price. Although his stuff is certainly different, I think that his stuff is ok as well, but certainly because he gives non-major publishers the right to re-use his artwork. Which is a plus to him as other potential employers may see his work. I hope that answers your questions - I think that having artwork paid for is better - you can do what you want with it. The only thing better is having a kick'n artist in your gaming group (I did 6 yrs ago and he 6' x 6' poster of the group going through a dungeon [reminded me of the old 1979 TSR Coloring Book center piece] that has hung on my wall for many years).
