Tedology Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Hello all, The thread "Superhero Images" got me thinking: Where might I find artists who would commission to draw images of my players' characters? I thought I would offer my players bonuses, such as: "Once you've earned x amount of XP, I'll gift you an artwork of your superhero.", or such. Thanks for any references and/or ideas!

Greywind Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 You looking to commission or looking for freebies? If you're looking to commission, there's Storn, troll deviantArt for artists, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedology Posted May 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 (ouch!) Well, I could take a shot, see if you like it. Want to send me a description? Yikes! No, I meant no offense by my comment, Rebar. I like the artwork. I guess I wasn't sure where to look on the site. Please accept my apologies.

Tedology Posted May 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 You looking to commission or looking for freebies? If you're looking to commission, there's Storn, troll deviantArt for artists, etc... I'd be up for commissioning, depending on the quality and price, of course. I realize artists have to make a living. I'll check out deviantart...thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywind Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 From what I recall, Storn is about the best price-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aylwin13 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Yup, and he even has a thread where he shares his creations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcw43921 Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Fraimworks As mentioned before in another thread, the people at Kenzer & Company swear by them. Plus they've done a lot of work for HERO, so your players should be familiar with their art. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not always given them the highest points, but they're steady and I have to say, I LOVE that they work together, I think if things had been a little different my brother and I could have done the same thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankL Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I've had really good returns from Juggertha@hotmail.com. I've had him do fantasy genre, but most of his deviantart page is supers. This is one he did of my character, Shylocke Averyson. I gave him a physical description and said the expression should be, "I hope you feel lucky, punk. But you aren't going to be!" This was the result: Goldenager here on the board might also be available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbwar Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 What kind of price range are you looking at? I've been getting commissions from a few different artists, and most of them are relatively low cost (but still do good work). All of them have had rpg work published in the past (one was something I released for a few systems but the other 4 have done work for different companies). I've posted a lot of images to my Photobucket account you can check out. If you find an artist whose stuff you like, pm me, and I can give you contact and pricing info for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba smith Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 in regards to the shylock sketch now I know how a doc savage-seeker composit would look and I mean that as a compliment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Price rage is $60 from Storn for a single figure. Others vary particularly on Deviantart and will depend on the level of detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
