Artwork for FH campaign, where do I look

[lensman]

If your reading this, I would like to find I good resource for finding an artist, Ink, and getting some illo's for my soon to start campaign.

Ranging from Coastal City-state to creatures to NPC"S.

Yes, I know Storn is great. i would try him, but for one thing. He retains all rights to the work, and I, who comissioned it get a copy.

Not like I am looking to publish but as much as he likes to retain his rights, I like to retain my intellectual Property.

So, any leads for me, where I could check out some samples would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Post a message on the following section of RPG.net saying you are looking to commission some art. You will probably get a dozen or more people willing to do some work-for-hire. I have no idea how any of them handle the rights to the work though.

Just to clarify, I retain rights to my specific visuals. So if I do a pic of Jack Candor of Venus, I don't get ownership of your Jack Candor... that is yours.

As for lack of originals, since so much is now being done digitally these days, there is NO original beyond a pencil sketch sometimes.

But I totally understand wanting to protect your intellectual property.

But I do commissions substantially less than what I should charge (and less than what publishers pay), so I hope to make some money by using a commission here or there for a publisher. Some of the work in FRED was private commissions and when the call went out for "quick" artwork, I had a bunch of illos laying around ready to be used.

If that's the kind of trade-off you're making then I, for one, have great respect for your choices.
