Title: Anyone recognize these "Clipart" pieces
Post by: daMoose_Neo on April 12, 2005, 06:34:22 PM
Hey-

Came across these: http://www.hasslefreeclipart.com/cart_fantasy/page1.html

I rather like them, they're pretty neat looking, which is what bothers me. Clip art usually makes me go *ugh*
I have a use for a few of these, but I want to make sure I'm not stepping on anyones copyright, I don't trust clip art sites all the time either (unless its like "Clipart.com" which has proven to be reputable).
I'm doing my own research, but I wanted to check here as well to see if they're legit.

They look very much like Disney's animated King Arthur movie (Sword in the Stone?).  Some of the character faces and the purple dragon seem particularly similar, but the style is a little different, so someone may have redrawn them using the movie for inspiration.

I'm reminded of the old arcade game (that ran off a laser disc) that I think went by the name of "Dragon Slayer."  Also one of the dragons reminded me vaguely of "Pete's Dragon."

They look entirely generic to me but drawn to emulate, as Justin said, a familiar style.

I have some of those on a CD I bought many years ago. Let me see if I can dig it up and see what it says.

There are a couple gallaries in the same style, so I knew they weren't directly ripped from one source or another.

That'd be cool Vincent, thanks ^_^

Huh, one of those knights at least looks very Kovalic. Like something out of Munchkin.

I think I recognize a number of those from Clipart.com

Thats what I came to find.
I chose a couple, villager and knight, as I knew they'd be in the clear.
