Okay, time to "judge like apes!" as Milk & Cheese once said. I challenged readers to grab the totally free no-art version of the main Lamentations of the Flame Princess rulebook (available here) and fill in the blanks with less gore-tastic art. Or at least differently gore-tastic art. Today we'll look at the first category, original art by total amateurs. A couple of entrants might be cross with me because I pushed them into the judging Pro-Am category, but come on, suck it up.
Anywhere, check out some art. Click to embiggen.
First up is Tim Schaeffer. What appear to be Sathar (from Star Frontiers) dissecting humans is a great choice of subject matter for the "Is the Character Suitable?" section. It fits in well with the general grimdark horrorcore tone of the actual LotFP art, which is kind of the opposite of what I was looking for in this contest. The examining table on the left looks a bit like a lobster tail, which I can't decide if I like or not but I'm pretty sure wasn't intentional. Also, why are those dudes wearing underwear? Either this is a soulless inhuman dissection room or not. For the integrity of the scene those dudes' johnsons should really be on display.
Paul of Blog of Holding did great work here. A British imperialist and a Japanese imperialist meeting makes a great illo for the languages section. You know some shit is gonna go down there. And the illo in the lower right corner is a great concept. I love the dude with the map taped to the inside of his shield! I think some of the shading got a little out of control though, as it looks to me like the area around the torchbearer's hand should be lit at least as much as the map.
Jonas, you get your pick of one of the following boxes of game stuff:
The Boxed Set Bonanza
The Hardbound Hoard
The Minibox of Mystery
The Preposterous Miscellaneous
Shoot me your preference and your mailing address and I'll try to get to the post office by the end of the week.
