Elvis pictures

[ffutures]

Here's some VERY temporary illustrations for the Elvis: The Legendary Tours RPG; since I haven't had much luck with my call for artists, I've done the ones I'll need next Saturday as photo manips. This isn't much good for the final product since (a) there would be copyright problems and (b) I'm crap at this, unfortunately, so I still desperately need real artists.



Elvis, Legendary Bard - this one's a real film still with some minor editing.



John Lenin, Barbarian Bass Player - Lennon with a badly-edited beard and moustache and Roy Rogers' hat.



'Senator' Joe McCartney, Guitarist - another genuine photo with minor edits



Billie 'Doc' Holliday, Frontier Law-Woman and Medic - Doris Day with a head transplant and badge, head size is WAY off...



Bob 'The Builder' Marley, Mystic Roadie - Helmet transplant



Elric Clapton, Mysterious Shaman - A monk with a head transplant and other minor edits.





Full details of the art I'm looking for and the derisory amount I'll give to charity if I get it are at

It's a good question. Not sure I have a good answer.

The pictures I've posted here aren't for publication, they're just something I've cobbled together for my own use, I'd want something considerably better for the game. I could indeed go without art - it'd reduce the page count which I suppose isn't a bad idea - but people do seem to like a few illustrations.

Bearing in mind that I'll be lucky to make $200 from this I'm having to set my sights pretty low, but there are plenty of amateur artists out there who might want to show what they can do. Think of it as an opportunity for artists to get their work in front of an audience, some of whom (such as yourself) might be in a position to commission artwork for a more realistic fee.

That might be true for a high exposure project, but you've gone out of your way to explain that no one will see it. I get mail from artists all the time: they send me links to their websites to see their art.

This is true but hopefully there are artists out there who like this sort of challenge and are prepared to help out in order to get a track record as a games artist, however obscure the product may be.
