Hi All,
I had a Kickstarter with Stock Art rewards about 2 months ago which you may have seen. It failed to fund, primarily I think due to low demand for the product related to it.
I took a hard look at it and decided to do a different product that also needs significant monster art.
The new project is here: http://kck.st/11Bv0Hh
The plan is to do 70+ new monsters as stock art. Earlier this year we did 150 monster images (about 100 different monsters, some were variants). This Kickstarter will generally not have variants of any particular creature. It will also be better in three other ways:
1. Each color monster image will have a black & white line art version.
2. Backgrounds are also an option for each piece.
3. We plan to get feedback from backers on each artist's initial sketches and hopefully also on their works in progress.
You can get the line art and color versions plus the backgrounds for all 70+ monsters (and more if we do more creatures as stretch goals) for $180.
Or if you want to be more selective (pick only certain creatures or only certain artists or only the line art) you can get 100pts of art for just $40. (The full-size (at least 1/4 page @300dpi) line art for a creature is 2pts. A full size color creature is 5pts. 6 pts gets the color creature and either the background or the line art version while 7pts gets you the line art, color and background of a given creature.
A sample creature from each artist, a list of creatures planned, more on the points and the license terms are on the Kickstarter's project page.
We're also doing a PDF of minis and creature trading cards (great art on the front, game stats on the backs) as well as encounter building cards. More details on the linked page.
