Fantasy art kit - Tiles, terrains & tokens kickstarter
« on: September 16, 2012, 02:51:19 PM »
Hello,

I'm Raymond Gaustadnes and I'm in the process of creating a huge art kit filled with terrains, tiles & tokens, used to create rpg campaign maps.
For this event, I've created a kickstarted page in hope of funding the creation of this kit, and possibly many addon kits.

You may check out the kickstarter page for my project here, it contains a lot more info and many previews of the fantasy artwork:

Also, if you'd like to support me in other ways by spreading the word about my project, while the project is running, here are some banners you may use:

I've registered another account a long time ago, not sure what it was though, when ICE had a different ownership. That was back when ICE used to ignore my e-mails to them..
I guess we're in a different time now :)

Also, I'm one of the artists behind the interior artwork for the recent updated version of HARP Fantasy. I haven't checked yet how that turned out myself, so I'm hoping this thread won't be filled with flaming hateposts after I mentioned that :D

The images are superb - the only thing worthy of flaming is the fact the book didn't have a colour interior!! :P

Anyone who hasn't seen his work before needs to check out his site (link in his sig) and you'll be seeing a lot more of Raymond's work in the future ...and not just in HARP!! ;D

Ah right, same nick as in the FG2 forums :)

I guess I gotta tweak this new profile of mine, see if I can adjust that signature and add more info to it.

I'm not officially posting this elsewhere, but the list of creatures & monsters found in my Fantasy art kit, is very much suitable for use with the Rolemaster ruleset in Fantasy grounds 2. I've used the Creatures & Monsters rulebook to handpick 99% of the ones found in my first art kit.

Then many more will be added through addon kits later on.

Anyone who has seen the discussion on the FG2 forums can verify your RM and Merp roots. I'm looking forward to using them on the VTT.

Keep up the great work!

All creatures, monsters, characters, items and objects will come with transparent backgrounds, but I'm adding backgrounds to the previews, to make them look better. This is the most recent token painted. One of many dragons that will be found inside the kit:




The kit will come in 3 sizes, this would be the medium sized version of this dragon.

More previews of tokens to be found within the Fantasy art kit, finished versions might look a tiny bit different than seen here, and some of the tokens will come in many versions:

And this project has now reached 122% funding on kickstarter! Still many more days until the time to become a backer runs out!

Due to this, a Minimap kit has now been added to the base Fantasy art kit, free of charge. This kit enables GMs to create interior and exterior maps on oldstyle parchments, handing them out to players during a rpg campaign.

Some examples:





Using the terrain map symbols/tiles and spending a few minutes drawing roads, rivers and lakes, adding text, you might end up with something like this for use with your campaign:

The KS project reached it's $7K stretch goal today, adding a Tavern/Inn addon art kit to the project. In addition, a new stretch goal was added, containing a Nautical addon art kit. Read more about both of them on the KS project page.

The $9k stretch goal was reached last night, adding the Castles, torture chamber & siege engines addon art kit to the project. The contents of this kit can now be found on the kickstarter project page. Also, a new stretch goal has been added...

A couple of previews, made with some of the tiles, terrains, decals and tokens made so far for the base Fantasy art kit. The purpose of these two previews were to create wooden structures, using two wood tile sets to be found with the base Fantasy art kit:

This is the most recent preview made for the Fantasy art kit:

Raymond,
 I had some more time to look at the sight and the preview art. Looks great. Also the kickstarter pledges look very very impressive.
 I wish I had the spare $ or even the spare $2000+ laying around to kick to the project.
Good Luck.
