[Mkguild] Group picture

[Ryx]

To chime in my $0.02 -

My preferance would be toward realism, as shown by most of the images I have comissioned of Murikeer and Kozaithy.

As for a group image - If the individual creators would be willing to pony in for such shots they would be workable.  Generally that's in the area of $40-60 per character in an illustration, I am unsure about additional background, for a decent artist.  And that's pretty darn cheap!

As well, the groups should be relatively small - no more than six to eight characters.  Otherwise they get so crowded or (as Matt linked) so small that the individuals can barely be identified in the mob.
Matt's idea of themes is also a very good one;  Mages, Clergy, Nobles, Crafters, ect.

I'd be willing to add to the pot for such works if we can agree on a worthy artist (and that, my friends, will be the absolute MOST difficult part of the whole thing!).

While I personally wouldn't pick Virmir's style for this (though I like what he does), I think Ralph's style is an acceptable level of cartoonishness (I can also ask him about higher realism). We can discuss the various artists' style vs. price choices more while we're deciding who gets represented (and refining some of their descriptions).
