Art for Malevolence
I'm getting close to complete on my Malevolence setting (still need to finish the gear and a few other parts, and playtest the sample adventure before I add it to the page), and I could really use some decent art for it. It's freeware, so I can't offer any money, but if any artists are interested in helping out and getting seen, I'd appreciate it.
I need a dark but realistic tone; gritty comic-book style would be acceptable. I'd prefer B&W - it's on a web page, so color images would show up fine there, but most people will print it in B&W. Plus, B&W usually looks moodier. If you can make a color image that prints acceptably and doesn't look lurid, that's fine.
All should be visible if scaled to a 480x480 image at most, though larger originals are fine.
Rough sketches first, please.
What I would like, ideally:
Cover illustration:
Laboratory; walls lined with tables, with various lab gear on them.
Left side: Hideous mutated human, desperate pleading look on its face, dead body of a scientist at its feet. Appearance of the mutant is up to you.
Right side: Security guard with a pistol (Glock?) pointed at the mutant.
Right, front: Scientist throwing a beaker at the mutant.
Characters:
Piled-up corpses of a motorcyclist, a cop, a woman in a business suit, a fat phone technician, and a young boy.
Equipment:
A satchel filled with guns and grenades.
Monsters:
A psycho with a fire axe laying into someone we can't quite see out of frame.
Adventure:
Sewers, with an insectile monster looking up at a manhole.
Endpiece:
Characters (the corpses from above? They don't have to be seen up close) high-fiving & hugging each other next to an insectile monster's corpse, seen through a crack in a wall, with a clutch of eggs in the near foreground on our side of the wall.
