Issue 16 Art Thread, Take Two

[calithena]

Here's what we're still hoping for:

- "an impressive city-palace of lofty spires constructed
entirely from ice and iciline. It has three concentric zones,
with the upper two zones, each raised above and below it."
- ice mine - an erinyes overseeing some deep gnome ice miners
- dark elves battling dog-faced men in a dungeon

May get one or two more in here. Coming down to the wire though. Thank you artists for your help! We need these turned around in a week or so at this point, if possible. Totally fine to pick them up as a fun afternoon experimental drawing activity!

Bumping this so people check it out.

I take it we must draw this oursevles and not rely on AI art even if we have the commercial support model which indemnifies companies and businesses for use? I've used my models in several products without issue.

I'd love to submit some art if we can go that road, if anything it can inspire others to draw something similar. It might be a good fall back idea?

Usually we can get enough human art to make the issue go. We don't have an absolute no matter what no AI policy, but part of the old school fanzine vibe means preferring crude B&W human drawings to AI ones, generally speaking.

But that shouldn't hold anyone back! If authors write stuff and send it in we can usually solicit some cool art to go with it. If that changes we'll see what to do about that then.

It sounds like as long as it's black and white old school hand drawn style it should be OK to submit?   At least for a reference point if someone wants inspiration of what we are going for?

Yes absolutely!
