Creating a Bestiary

Recommended Posts

Monsters!

Well, ain’t this fun! Critters for your games of Fantasy HERO, Victorian HERO, or a really weird game of Monopoly.

I run them in Caleon, a steampunk setting, and Ravenna, an urban fantasy game set in Italy for unresolved (likely inadequate) reasons.

The text descriptions have been obtained by use of ChatGPT, and the HERO System character sheets derived from that text. The process involves dropping Olekzandr Zahorulko's art onto the chat window and seeing what it spits back at me.

Cheating? Maybe. Fun. Certainly.

 

The art is all licensed and legal. HDCs and a WIP are available on my OneDrive. 

 

I might do the same for his NPC illustrations. His portfolio can be found here. If there's a monster in that collection you'd like me to try I'm all ears.

I like art for that for inspiration, gives me ideas by looking at a clever or interesting image.

I've loved his art for a long time, but I was only able to license it a few days ago. If you want to work together on this bestiary, just let me know!  Check the Word doc for the pics I've already done and chose any stragglers (there are hundreds of them).

You are so welcome. Happy to assist. Always glad to help out... [insert other customer service lines here]

 

I was able to license his whole collection of monster/character art for about $250.
