. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . So, who wants to go again?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Was the price point right?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Was the print quantity right?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Who would you like to see commissioned?


I'll go again. Add me to the list.

I have no issue with the price. I thing I got great value for money.

I think the quantity should be kept below 100 units. I also think we should prioritise community members over bandwagon jumpers. Some people like have contributed greatly over the years but their lives are such that they don't get to visit us too often (bclarkie, johnhuck, killjoy32 to name but a few) We know who they are, and they deserve an opportunity over non-contributors and new members who sign up just to buy a print.

I'd like to see something detailed and nuts by Tom Wham.


This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

I'm fine with it, but as stated before, depends on the artist.  My vote is for Jim Holloway! (no surprise there, eh?)  :wink:

Fine for me. I prefer Holloway than Wham.

I'd be interested in a few artists:

Holloway (if I had my say, I'd want a scene of a bunch of anthropomorphic critters battling a land squid)

Elmore (I'd prefer something along the lines of his Shadowrun work rather than "pure fantasy" or maybe a dedication to Jim Ward via a Gamma World-esque piece)

Brom (anything centered on Halloween and the creepy)

and others but these are the ones I can readily say Yes to without having woken up yet.


Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

Brom! :oops:
Too many wonderfull artists!

As for the art, I'd like something more obscure, like the cover of ToEE. A dark place, Evil hanging around an old Castle or a hidden dungeon entrance.

I am interested too.

I also have connections to some of the modern artists like Wayne Reynolds, and could hook something up if people are interested.

Definitely interested in a second print, but would wait on the artist to fully commit.  Price point and quality of print for the EO job were great.

There's no shortage of great artists in addition to the ones mentioned. Of recent, Den Beauvais comes to mind. He had some great Dragon covers, among others (on a side note I always liked the chess-themed ones). We should probably put together a list of all these artists.

I'm absolutely up for another project!

I'm very pleased with the Otus, and I think the Acaeum being incorporated was a brilliant idea... one that will always make the piece a bit special :)

My vote would be for another iconic artist of the bitd-sort (Caldwell's my fave)... and for another acaeum reference as part of the art.
