visual aids for commission

**devinnight** · October 13th, 2005, 21:34

I really have no idea if this idea is any good, or if there is any need for a service like this.

I would be more than happy to create visual aids of objects, rooms, and buildings for DM's. I wouldn't do maps (well ok I would, but there are a lot of programs and people that can do that) All I would need would be rough sketches or text descriptions.

Samples of my work can be seen at www.immortalnights.com/visuals
(give me a couple minutes to set this up)

So is there a need for a specialty service such as this?
thanks.

That's some pretty good stuff. What app are you using to create them? Er, unless by telling, you are going against what you want to do. Though owning a paintbrush doesn't make one a good artist

it depends a lot on the subjectmatter.
I use Carrara for the 3D stuff, Photoshop and Illustrator for some of it as well.

I realize that there are a ton of creative and even artistic people that play these games. So the fact may be that the DM's make their own visual aids or know some one who can.
However if there happens to be an unlucky few who would like some art done, I may be able to help.

Okay, the dire tuba may be the best dang thing I've ever seen.

Like I said on the AD site... I'll be in touch when I can find the time to work on my own content. :wink:

I have been busy with 2d tokens but I broke away to do some 3D work this weekend.

Nice work!

Thanks Crusader.
Here is a teaser of the tokens I am working on.
I am still trying to figure out relative scale and still keep them looking attractive at smaller scales.

Great looking stuff devinnight!!!

Tease away.

Those look awesome! I'd buy a set of those, if they are set up in multiples and numbered for larger encounters

Thanks.
This is my plan.
To release some free ones.
To release some in conjunction with additional content (more coming soon on this).
To create player specific or group specific tokens for a small paypal donation.
And to sell packs of them, I would hope to create enough variations that you wouldn't need to have numbers on them. For instance I made six unique kobolds, then made a set that had variations in color, If I made variations in weapons and some other changes I could have 24 Kobolds that all looked different.

The big problem right now is finding a size that allows the token to still look nice but not throw FG into a fit of crashes. I'm hoping the next big version of FG handles graphics and file transfers better.
