smile Cute Board Heroes needs you

Hi,

I've recently uploaded a sheet of pictures which are meant to be printed out, folded, and used as a cheap alternative to buying miniatures.

They're at www.apolitical.info/webgame/heroes

But I need more artwork.

So please PM me if you can contribute something in the same style.

Thanks,
James
aka Jolly Steve.

I was think of creating a few OotS style D&D monster avatars, if I get round to it you can use them for this if you like.

Hey was this not the way the giant originally started using his art style? Anyhow it’s a great idea, and considering all the great avatarists on the board these days one that could very well become very usable. (already has I suppose)

They do need to be shrunk down a bit to be to scale with standard minis, but otherwise? great work.

This actually spans the entirety of my avatar-ing history, so it's a bit varied in style, but here it goes:

OK, I'm working on an A4 sized collection titled "Big Board Monsters". So far I've done a tarrasqu and I'm working on an abolith. Has anyone got any other suggestions (not dragons, there's enough of those to justify several collections).

Also, its just a suggestion, but what about covering the cutouts with laminate film so they can be written on with whiteboard markers (both are pretty easy to find in office supply shops). That way they could be marked to show if they're at 0 hp or to just scribble over them to represent a hidden/mysterously cloaked character?

They are made to be 1 inch wide, making them a more standardized size which will generaly be more useful to use as models since most grids/maps are based on a inch by inch grid.

Just combed through my saved work, found some stuff that would be suitable for this.


Everyone's favorite wolf/goblin fiend, the Barghest.


An Assassin, as pictured in the DMG.


There's a few more, but they're from a while ago, and my style has changed since then, to the point that I just about cringe when I look at them. I'm gonna update them before I put them on the internet.
:edit: Note to self, zoom out to check for 'spare parts' before exporting the image.

These are cool, but they're a bit too small compared to the others. Do you have bigger versions (also of the dwarf)?

Yes it is, want me to make a fixed version of it?

BTW-i'll need to know what version of the swordswoman you are talking about (technically there are 3, the armored girl with the mask, the one with the vest, and the one in my signature with the dress.)
