I just spent a little bit of time putting together the chariot from Cerberus Illustration's Army of the Dead set from their Monsters of the Game Matseries.
While these figures don't incorporate all of the features we've come to associate with One Monk Miniatures, they are creditable cardstock figures. The imagery isn't in the same style as Jim's. It doesn't have the same hand-drawn flavor, but it doesn't have the goofy rubber-bendy articulation of figures that come purely from CGI software, either. I don't think they'd look out of place on a tabletop fighting alongside or against Jim's skeletons. There's an easy-to-build, sturdy chariot in the set, along with a 2.5-D skeletal dragon.
Time and again, Jim has told us how he wants to see the whole universe of cardstock offerings grow, and it's interesting and heartening to see other people follow his lead. There's a link on the One Monk homepage to Cerberus Illustration's offerings at RPGNow.
Have fun! Steve

The skeletal army is also mirrored.
Have fun! Steve

I checked Cerebus' stuff out, but the mirror backs are a deal-breaker for me.

I am trying to encourage him to make rear views for his figures. You guys might try emailing him to let him know that rear views are important to you.
I'm glad he released some more troop types for the undead army, I know it's going to be a while before I add more myself. JIM

Today, with 6st set, Monsters of the Game Mat: Demons & Devils, Cerberus Illustration's paper miniatures have front and rear view.
Now these minis are right for me. I have just bought the set and the minis are good.
I hope front/rear views on old sets too.

I'm happy to see him make the rear views now. Now his figures are much more compatible with mine. He seems to be on a real creative roll, which is sparking my competitive urges, so I am putting the nose to the grinding wheel, and getting some more figures out! JIM
