Cool. Will do.

However!
You are perfectly welcome to.
Sounds good. I probably will at some point.

On a different subject I've completed the first true Print and Play token sheet. I'll probably only post an image this first time as in the future I'll just update with a link to the printable PDF, but I wanted to show it off so you all can get an idea of what it'll look like. So, here's the PDF LINK (shared via Google Docs) and below is the image. Please let me know if you have any thoughts or feedback.
Re: (Monster Minis!) The OotS-Style Monster Manual Art Project
Awesome.
I prefer this gnoll to the original.
Still in google doc the quality of immage is worse then on the pic.
so maybe posting aslo pics is better.
Maybe you should make tha back of the card black. The way its now its difficult to uderstand where is fon t and where is rear. Like in picrelated
What else to say? Keep going you are doing a good job.
Re: (Monster Minis!) The OotS-Style Monster Manual Art Project
I made you a drow!
Critique, please?
Also, Dakaran, what size do you want me to make them initially? Will you resize them or or you prefer them already in 120x120?

Re: (Monster Minis!) The OotS-Style Monster Manual Art Project
Hey, look who’s back!
Here is another one from the original Monster Manual, the Fire Giant, more or less based on the David Trampier illustration. I gave him a flaming sword, though he doesn’t have one in the original. The Monster Manual actually describes Fire Giants as having coal black skin, but A) I didn't like the implications of that, B) the Giant depicts Surtur with red skin, and C) I just thought he looked better this way.

Ha! Did you seriously expect a small giant?

Re: (Monster Minis!) The OotS-Style Monster Manual Art Project
Gah, it's getting hard to keep up the gallery with all the submissions. I updated just the digital download folder to include recent submissions. Thanks everyone for their contributions!
Re: (Monster Minis!) The OotS-Style Monster Manual Art Project
Out of curiosity, when will you edit the new ones into the catalog?

Re: (Monster Minis!) The OotS-Style Monster Manual Art Project
My apologies for the lack of updates of late. I've been increasingly busy and sadly haven't gotten around to making any updates here of late. In some offline spare time however, I've finally dipped my toes into the token creating world. It's been a long time coming, but I finally sat down and worked on creating my own tokens to add to the mix. Here's my first offering: a complete set of lizardfolk from the D&D 4th Edititon Monster Manual and Monster Manual 2. Here's a preview of the color version as well as a black & white line art version (for those that don't want to print in color or want to color their own):
Re: (Monster Minis!) The OotS-Style Monster Manual Art Project
Whew... Sorry it took so long everyone, but I finally updated the catalog to include the images posted in the last couple weeks. It's surprisingly tedious to maintain a table in a forum post. I took some time to build myself a spreadsheet that I can way more easily maintain, then just copy out of and paste into a post. Anyway, the image gallery is now up to date as well as the image download ZIP. I'll add my own tokens to the image download when I have some time so those aren't in there yet, but I wanted to catch up with all of the stuff I've missed recently.
Re: (Monster Minis!) The OotS-Style Monster Manual Art Project
Daaaaaayum, Dakaran, that is beautiful work. Now who's crushing the competition, eh?
Oh, well...

Re: (Monster Minis!) The OotS-Style Monster Manual Art Project
Actually, I think Dakaran is doing it all himself now.

Go to Dakaran's profile, look at "all threads started by Dakaran." Or go to his blog.
Looks like we're not needed.
