Villain Artwork

[Jeffrey Scott Nuttall]

So, inspired by a post somewhere in this forum that I can't find because I forgot what thread it was in, I was thinking of trying to create pictures of all the other contestants' villains--I figured it could be fun, and frankly I could use the practice. Vic Wertz verified here that, while contestants aren't, of course, allowed to post pictures of their own villains, it's okay for contestants to post pictures of other contestants' villains, as long as it's okay with the other contestant.

So, the purpose of this thread is to see who it's okay with. In other words, if you don't object to my having a crack at coming up with a picture of your villain, post here and let me know.

Mind you, this isn't a guarantee that I'll actually get to it... I don't have a lot of free time, and this may be trying to bite off way more than I can chew. But at least one other contestant has expressed interest in doing this, or possibly splitting the workload, so even if I don't get to it there's a chance someone else will...

I have no problem with you or anyone else wanting to draw up my villian; or item for that matter. I might even try my hand at some of the villains if I get a minute.

Do you want to post them in this tread?

[Hugo Solis]

I offered Blazej to draw his villain and he accepted, thou he ask me something which I believe its quite true. He told me to draw it after the voting was over because the drawing could affect the voter desicion.

I'm totally pro-drawing but I believe that could be true. So I'll wait until the vote is over to respect Blazej's opinion... even thou I'll be dying to do so :P

[Mike Speck]

Anyone who wants to draw my villain is welcome to do so -- I guess I'd prefer to wait until voting's over to see them posted (though you can work on them between now and then).

I will not be drawing, since my artwork makes xkcd look like spy-sat imagery. =0

I don't think that's our call to make anymore, it belongs to paizo now.

That being said, I am fine with anyone drawing "it". Just not while voting is open, because frankly, i think that might be an unfair (dis-)advantage to the illustrated over the non-illustrated

I agree 100%

Ok, just now saw Vic's comment on the other thread. I'd welcome a good illustration, but would prefer it not being done while voting is open. It is a curious enough beast as it is, adding a variable "when illustrated" and "illustrated by whom" just makes it all the more intractable.

[Matthew Morris]

I'd like to see how others visualize my villian. Especially since I see my villian looking like <redacted> from <redacted>

[newless cluebie]

Oooh, this sounds fun. It's been a while since I got excited about drawing something.

I'm so in.

[Elizabeth Leib]

I also wouldn't mind if anyone drew up my villain. I'd have to agree with the others that the pictures shouldn't be posted until the voting ends. You'll probably need that time to get them all drawn anyway. 32 drawings sounds time consuming. Anyway, I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

I'll second this...only after the voting ends. Otherwise, an image (whether drawn for your own or someone else's villain) might give an unfair advantage during the voting. Essentially, it would be worth an extra "thousand words" and generally provide more inspiration than just the designer's write-up.

And...Hugo? If you're out there, man. I claim dibs on having you do my villain's artistic rendering. You did such a great job on the last leaves of the autumn dryad that I'd like to see what you can do for me in the villain round.

Thanks,

I'm all for more villain artwork (or any other kind) and would love to both see what people come up with for mine and illustrate others (see examples of my stuff completely unrelated to this contest here and here).

I would like to jump on the 'wait til voting ends' bandwagon though, just to avoid any bad feelings of biasing the vote one way or another and to make extra sure we don't break any rules.

Amazing! I love your style. I will be watching your website - when it is open, that is.

[Jeffrey Scott Nuttall]

OK, looks like there are a number of people uncomfortable with any pictures being posted before voting ends, so I'll wait till after then. No problem.

[Paul Worthen]

I'd love to see an illustration for my little vampire, too!

Here's a bit of concept art that a friend of Matt's whipped up for Sartel around the end of Round 2:

Sartel Bollen, Mistress of the Headless Caravan

Very nice!
