I reached out and talked to some other publishers I know, they have donated some art they have the rights to for use in HEROIC Classic. I am beyond thankful to them for this generosity.
Further more, Tony (FrischDVH) has also thrown his hat into generate art for us! This is the first piece he has handed in;
Yes that's Zenith's own Grenadier!
So, for those who were worried about AI art, you can exhale.
For those who were worried we wouldn't get art for the project, there you go!
Stay tuned for more.
P.S. We've manage to get in touch with Shane, he is alive and dealing with some issues but will be back, so if you haven't gotten your custom hero questionnaire in ASAP!
I know none of you care less about my problems, so I'll just give you the facts.
1] There is no money 2] There is no AI 3] Shane has dropped off the face of the earth (we are all very concerned), so if you sent him your custom character information, please resend it to [email protected] so I can take over that process. 4] I will figure out something to get this project compelte one way or the other by the end of the year. Since AI is not allowed, it will be with what limited art we have a lots and lots of white space. 5] I am no longer going to run the HEROIC 5e crowdfunding to make shared art, as this process has left me no longer interested in that stress. 6] If anything should happen to me, April will hopefully be able to update everyone, I will provide her the logins. 7] There will be no more updates until there is actually something to share.
Thank you and goodday.
P.S. I am very sorry for how this is going, was never the intent and sadly much of what got us off track was directly related to dishonest providers and the shit-show that is the Canadian economy.
We are stalled out for art at present, and with my job ending at the start of the month due to the company I've been with for 5 years going bankrupt, things don't look good for my basics like food and rent.
So, I've a plan!
As I have promised two things;
1] Not to us AI art for this project.
2] Not to ask you to just give me money again for nothing...
I am starting at the end of July a backerkit for the 5e version of HEROIC! This is an ambitious challenge, but one I believe in. As many people as there are who love the FASERIP (or what I now called HEROIC CLASSIC) engine, there are lots more who don't.
So, the plan is this, by raising money for the HEROIC 5e art needs, that art can be double purposed back to the HEROIC CLASSIC game as well, killing two-birds with one-stone...
If you are looking for ways to help get this project finished, there is no better than the make sure you are onboard for the HEROIC 5e campaign!
