Treasure Book on Demand – Art Contest Winners

The art contest closed on June 30th. Two entries were posted. Both are well done and must have taken a substantial amount of effort. My skills as an art critic are non-existent and so I chose not to choose. Both entries will be awarded the top prize for the contest. Without further ado, here are the entries.

Gate of Smoke's Pile of Loot

Gate of Smoke didn’t comment when posting his entry. The details in the image suggest the spoils of adventure do not come easily.

Victor Von Dave's Full Cover

Victor commented on his full cover entry,

This was quite a challenge, but I had a blast putting it together. Next to monsters, D&D is all about treasure, so I wanted to pay proper tribute to the masters.

He paid a fine tribute from my perspective. For more from Dave, you can visit his blog, Ménage à Monster. I do not have a website address for Gate but will link it when I do. You can see more of Gate’s art on his Deviant Art page.

Thanks again to both of the entrants.

I’ll get the artwork inserted into the generation system after I recover from my red-eye flight home from Alaska. My body desires multiple naps.

Labyrinth Lord Treasure Book Cover Contest

Introduction

I’m proud of my Labyrinth Lord Treasure Book Utility. Based on the feedback I’ve gotten directly and indirectly, others have found it useful as well. Both the online generator and nightly generated books have found an audience.

The contents are fine but it needs an identity. Such an identity can only come from artwork. So, I have decided to hold an open artwork contest for art to adorn the free utility as cover art. I do not require exclusive license to the artwork, just the right to reproduce it on demand on the cover of the treasure book. The artist is free to use the work for other purposes. Artist will be credited within the book including contact information, website info, etc.

Contest Details

Entries are for artwork to adorn the cover of the book but need not be a full cover. Full covers including title, artwork and layout are encouraged but not required.

The Prize Pool

• 1st: Prize: $100.00 (USD)
