Chamomile Has Illustrations

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $49.99

My name is Chamomile, I have illustrations, and now, so do you.

Contained in this pack are over a hundred color and black-and-white stock illustrations for the fantasy genre released under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license for pay-what-you-want. That means you can pay any amount of money including none at all for the pack, you can use the illustrations in any product you like including for commercial purposes, and the only requirement is that you copy/paste the contents of credits.txt found within the download somewhere in the media you use the illustrations for.

I've spent the last three years building up a career on Kickstarter, and one of the biggest drags early on was just how much of a small project's budget had to be dedicated to art in order to make the books visually compelling. As a general rule, you want one illustration every 5-ish pages of an RPG book, and that is a very punishing art density for a project operating on a $2,000 budget to accomplish.

Now, you don't have to. While I strongly recommend lining up a freelance artist and having original art as a stretch goal, with this art pack you can still provide your backers and other customers with a fully illustrated book even if you barely squeak across the funding goal. Not only that, but backers who might've been nervous about backing a book that will only receive illustrations if it hits a certain stretch goal are much more likely to back a project that will definitely receive illustrations, even if it will only receive new illustrations at a certain stretch goal. Having the art from this pack on standby not only makes your book look good if you barely hit your goal, it makes you more likely to make enough money that you'll be able to commission original illustrations anyway.

Success compounds, and with this art pack, that force is on your side for once.

I'm not able to leave a review as a publisher, but I came back to make a small purchase on this to support the work here. I only wish I had more funds available to further support the artists in this pack!

As a published on Drivethru I don't have the option to post a review. I've purchased this and it's great. It's also PWYW so if you really aren't sure, do what Chamomile suggests and download it for free, check it out, and then come back for a second copy paying a fair price.

Sharing this was a generous act and I applaud them for their actions. NOT all of this art is going to be detailed enough for many folks. That's fine, pick and choose what you want from the content. The artists are also linked so you have a piece of work that can act as research. Again, this is a generous act and they should be applauded for it. Whoever gave it one stars deserves a punch on the nose! (Not that I am encouraging violence but I am expressing how angry seeing that made me.)

I've always wondered if making additional purchases worked! I'm about to go drop a metric load of payments.

Another suggestion: if samples are not an option, say what the pictures are about. Over a hundred of what?
There is no clue in the title nor in the text. I assume is fantasy as there is an undead guy in the cover but would this be worth for an sci-fi game?

I updated the description to reference the fantasy genre. Although the illustrations for the Elder Brain and the Hive Queen would probably be usable in sci-fi, but they're few enough in number that you'd have to build your book around the illustrations to get much use out of them.

A suggestion; you might want to have the updated license as a separate file as well, so that people don't need to download the entire pack again just to see the new license. And thanks for sharing!

Going to add a comment here that the pack was updated to have the license and credits as separate files in the download in response to this comment, that way people aren't confused why Adrian is asking for something that's already in the pack.

Any chance of getting a preview of the artwork?

It's a .zip file, not a .pdf, so there's no easy way to preview the art. But also, it's PWYW, so you can download the entire thing for free. I don't think that'll stop you from "buying" a second copy for whatever amount of money you decide the pack is worth after you've already seen its contents.

Thank you for that comment - great way to do it. Without seeing this I probably would not have purchased, but paid $10 the first time, took a look, liked what I saw and paid the balance for a second copy

Hey! There's actually a way in your Account to "Manage Previews of My Titles." You can upload a smaller PDF file with only the images you want to share, perhaps watermarked if you'd like.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
