Another beastie that can probably go in the HORDE. I figured would give all the beast that I have drafted high priority so they can go into the HORDE while they are still in theme. This is another that is to scale at 300 dpi. (No resizing needed). Is it OK to post these here or should I be posting them directly to the May HORDE thread? I have some more but it will be a while as I will be away from a machine tomorrow.

In-fraggin'-credible. That's absolutely gorgeous!
And yeah, carry on posting here for the time being, although if you want to submit these to the Hoard, dropping a post in the Hoard thread would be a good idea as well - just so's it's easy to find when Jim & co are rounding up all the entries. If you feel you're going to be doing more, I'd say take Jim up on his offer of a board; he'll move the threads from here into that.

Adding them to the HOARD topic will help us remember to add it. As usual, your style is great and fits perfectly with mine. I hope of all hopes that you feel that you have the time and skills to do commercial work, I would live the competition! You can borrow all my ideas, no problem. I'm warning you, post one more figure projects and BANG! your getting your own board! Your move.... JIM

I don't see why anyone on here needs to be a competition - Jim you need a stable of Artists; a core of talent that can be directed into different areas. That way more subjects get covered sooner. Just a thought. As for Jabbro work - very nice. I will be interested to see where Jabbro skill level is at 6 month from now - Watch the leveling up Lord Abaddon of Wormwood

We just had this discussion, I am not a business manager, I can barely manage myself let alone steer anyone else. I can support and help you guys get setup with your own little sales area of RPGnow just like I do.
This forum is to inspire and support everyones individual efforts, not to create a team of designers. And everyone knows, organizing artists is like herding cats ,that are wet, and it's cold out, and all you have are like spoons to heard them with... JIM

I definitely see where you're coming from. Besides, sites like RPGNow, as far as I can tell, are pretty much ideal if you want to set up selling stuff by yourself, and I must admit, I wouldn't mind giving it a go myself once I've got a few more of my original designs ready to go.
Remember, not working as a team isn't the same as actually being in competition. Say I set up a small press section on RPGNow selling my figures. Even if I design them in such a way as to be easily compatible with Jim's (which I daresay I would, simply because it works so well), we still have different art styles, and people are bound to have their own preferences as to which they like. On top of which, it's a simple matter to differentiate oneself by doing minis that Jim doesn't have planned, or won't be doing for the foreseeable future, thereby covering an empty niche in the market rather than directly competing.
Is it easy to set up a publisher's account? Are there any up-front fees to deal with or particular prerequisites?

My way of thinking is to have a collective body of artists that could develop skills and almost more importanly share filiters/texturing skills; create a library of layers/textures/filters which can be used by all the artists.

That's what we already do in this forum.
I just don't want to get all tied up with money stuff. it's really easy to get setup to sell on RPGnow, no fees, no nothing. You can sign an exclusive seller agreement to get a better percentage on sales.
The vendor tools take some practice to get used to, but it is not difficult by any stretch.
I'll start a new topic for this. Sorry for hijacking the thread...
COOL YETI! I have at some point owned all of the Heroquest games and expansions, and doing a print and play versions would be cool. I plan to do the same thing for Battlemasters. JIM

It is a very cool... but warm looking Yeti. Will it have any friends to play with?

Wow, I did not expect one little yeti to trigger so much conversation. Personally I do not think I would have the time or stamina to do this commercially. I must admit that I like doing this, and I love the community that Jim has built here on the forums, but I am much better at short sprints of creative production rather than the long run.
I have a couple of more figures already inked that I need to color in the same genre. There is an Ice Gremlin and that frozen horror thinggy from HQ.

Yeah dude,
You've got some skills in the coloring department!
We'll take anything and everything you can churn out!
I'm super intrigued by the ice gremlin... nice!

I'll pull out my old Barbarian Expansion boards for HQ and do a new photograph this one along with the Warbear in its element. Looking forward to the Ice Gremlin... Have you attempted the Frozen Horror? Maybe we can con Jim into making a Female Barbarian for us HQ officianados! ~F

I just might find the time to do a quick 'Questing Heroes set.
because it is daunting to create a lot of figures, is exactly why I created the HORDE sets. These will make a great addition. JIM
