In the market for stock art for your tabletop RPG? Jeshields offers a great selection at DriveThruRPG, and, through December 20th, he’s offering RPG Monsters: A to Z on Kickstarter. On EN World, I try to cover as many RPG-related crowdfunding projects as I can, but I missed this one. So, to help shine a spotlight on Jeshields’ work, I asked him a few questions about the project.

EGG EMBRY (EGG): What’s the pitch for your project?
JESHIELDS (JES): I’m creating a stock art library of 26 creatures and monsters, one for each letter of the alphabet. This library will be a mix of recreating classic creatures, makeovers of ‘failed’ monster ideas, and designing brand new creations.
EGG: What system are you using, and why is it the right one for this game?
JES: None. These images are for game products that use any system.

EGG: What is the reward that is the best value?
JES: “$75 – Monsters in Digital”. You get .PSD files and vector illustrations so you can edit, resize, and recolor all the monsters. It includes line art .PNG files, color .PNG files, and .PSD files of all the monsters, plus a license to use them in commercial products.
EGG: Assuming there are stretch goals, which one are you most excited about?
JES: Although I am entertaining a few ideas, there are no current stretch goals for this project.

EGG: What other projects have you worked on?
JES: I have been commissioned for freelance work with independent companies such as Barrel Rider Games, Blackfall Press, Dread Unicorn Games, EN World, Rogue Comet, Steve Jackson Games, among many others. Other Kickstarter projects include a Fantasy Stock Art & RPG Minis plus a Choose Your Own: Sci-Fi Stock Art project. I also run Patreon.com/Jeshields where I create bundles of various stock illustrations each month.
EGG: Where can fans learn more about you and your project?
JES: Fans can connect with me on Facebook, MeWe, or Twitter where I share my work on a regular basis.
