@Ambrosia Slaad I would have to concur that sending a link to a portfolio is the best bet. Iron Hills Games currently is working with two artists, one who has some pieces in a few issues of Wayfinder (who contacted us via our Facebook page) and the other who's brother posted on the boards and I went and checked the link he supplied in the post.

One thing I will add. When I get contacted directly, in addition to a link to one's portfolio, I personally do like to know what I would be looking at price wise for B&W as well as color illustration (typically for 1/4 page, 1/2 page and full page).

Hey folks, artifacts and artifact owning NPCs. And yes, the cover represents one of the pairs. :)

Shameless plug time: Damnable Things: Rings from Iron Hills Games lists two cursed variants for each of the enchanted rings in the core rules and introduces 15 noncursed rings (3 with greater variants) and 2 cursed variant for each of those as well. We're also getting ready to put out the second volume in the series, so keep your eyes out for it if you are interested.

And, as a quick sampler:

Ring of Darkness
Aura faint transmutation ; CL 5th
Slot ring; Weight –
DESCRIPTION
This ring appears and functions as a ring of shadows.
Upon putting on the ring, the wearer becomes sensitive to
light, suffering a -2 modifier to attack rolls, damage rolls
and skill checks when in light brighter than low light.
This ring can be removed by casting light followed by
remove curse upon it, destroying the ring in the process.

And one of my favorites ...

Ring of the Cluttered Mind
Aura moderate (I) or strong (II–IV) (no school); CL 11th
(I), 14th (II), 17th (III), 20th (IV)
Slot ring; Weight –
DESCRIPTION
This ring appears to be a ring of wizardry. Once worn,
however, the true nature of the ring is shown. The wearer
must immediately make a DC 20 Will save or take 1d2
points of permanent Intelligence damage. Additionally,
this check must be made each day until the ring is removed
or the wearer’s Intelligence score reaches zero.
Additionally, the ring causes the wearer to lose access to
the ability to cast spells of certain levels depending on the
type of ring of wizardry it was intended to be. These spell
eliminations remain in effect until the ring is removed.
A type I ring eliminates 1st-level spells, a type II ring
eliminates 2nd-level spells, a type III ring eliminates 3rdlevel
spells, and a type IV ring eliminates 4th-level spells.
Bonus spells from high ability scores or school specialization
are not eliminated.
This ring can only be removed by the casting of remove
curse upon it followed by a successful casting of dispel magic.
Doing so renders the ring non-magical.

Though we be a relatively new addition to the 3PP ranks, and have a single work out (hopefully our second will be out immediately prior to PaizoCon), Iron Hills Games will be present (I know I will be there and I am fairly certain Danny has secured transportation and a room as well).

I may end up running some pick up games this go 'round (and I promise not to throw any of our creations into the mix) ... keep your eyes on the boards.
