So have they all shipped?  I haven't gotten mine yet (probably will arrive in the mail today b/c I decided to ask!).

No worries.  You guys are all Lawful Good with high Reputation in my book.  Just wondering. :)

Also, I'm in on future projects as well.  Can I put in a "vote" for Jeff Easley?

I wish we could have gotten something commissioned by Dave Sutherland... :(

Excellent rebuttal, actually.

As much as I like Easley's stuff I can only imagine how expensive he is.  And his work is so much more detailed compared to Otus.  How much longer would it take to get something done by him?

If a vote could decide who to go to for a future project, I'm going with Peter Mullen.

I'd vote for my own personalized wedding anniversary portrait by Brom.

Hmm. I do wonder what the commission rates are...

Hmm... you've got a point, Frank, and I'm sure you have a wonderful collection on that front: d'you think we need to start a packaging thread? :)

*g* I'm still with Dave/Ashmire and $$ wasn't the issue, either way, since I was more than happy to leave my name on the list and let the print be auctioned off for con funds or suchlike.

EO is my fav, and I'd go in on any future projects involving him, but any of the old school artists would be awesome.

My votes for the next artist would be for either Bill Willingham or Jim Roslof...

Here's a classic Wham! piece

:)

All kidding aside, there is still a nice pool of classic D&D/RPG artists from which to select.


Hello Mrs. Cleaver, Theodore.

Gee, Mrs. Cleaver ... That certainly is a lovely dress.

I'd like a go-to list of active classic D&D artists.

Another thread sounds like a good idea.  Also, I am sure the Committee has not been idle and already has some plans and/or ideas for future pieces.  Personally, I really enjoy the EO print and am very appreciative of all the hard work the Committee has done.  Here's to the second commissioned piece!

I'm about to get my print framed, but find that I do not have enough information for the Tag.  What is the work's title?  What is the Acaeum title should this become a series?  Maybe the Acaeum title could be:  "The Acaeum Artist Spotlight Series" or some other such name.  

To the EO committee:  Did Erol provide a title for his work?

He did not.  I suggested it, and he talked about the title being something like, "The Healer's Burden," or something like that, but it was never official and thus not mentioned in the COA.   8)
