I seriously for serious want one.. for serious! I love how they look! So cool and hippyish! It could also look funky worn with some flats or those 'skimmer' type shoes. DO WAAAANT!

And, you can always mention beside the license that a different license for a specific use can be worked out by contacting you, so people who want to use it commercially wouldn't necessarily turn away without bothering to ask. As for format, I'd say a clean scan is plenty. The less they're altered, the more data is preserved. People can always vectorise them themselves, and if they're high enough resolution (say 300 dpi scans so that they're minimum-print-quality, maybe as high as 600 dpi; and let the resolution fall where it may) then they could be useful just as a layer to paint over/colour in. For file format, go with PNG for simplicity. Everything reads it and it doesn't degrade like JPEGs do, and they can be easily converted to whatever format people like. I'm not sure about presentation: just a gallery with a minimum of clutter, to best show off their lines? Maybe make the gallery have unusually large thumbnails so that the fine lines can be better seen. Mostly make it easy on yourself so that you can enjoy making them without too much format and website futzing dragging you down! That does sound like a CC-BY-NC license would work.

I'd let people use them for templates and inspiration, that they can alter however they like. I'll think about it a little more, though a Creative Commons license is certainly the best bet. Also, how do I want to present them? Do I want to spend the time cleaning them up and tracing them digitally (vectorize them or otherwise) so they're easier to work with? At what resolution should I offer them? What format? How would I organize them on the website? Would you have any ideas? Thank you, by the way; I'm so glad you like them. :D I think I’ll be doing more whether people like them or not; they’re just too much fun to do between classes. :)

You have a great eye and hand for nice, organic coastlines. I definitely think you should do more. You should think about how you want to let people use them.

I would love to see that in the OGT v2. Well I hope you finish the swamp drawing, even if you leave it until the end. I would love to see that in the OGT v2.

And unfortunately, I was too slow to call dibs on the "Interesting Ways to Kill Your Minions" article, so the defenestration montage is sadly not useful. It's a shame too, I thought that one would be a lot of fun! I like the bear too; sometimes playing with shapes is a lot of fun! Glad the mice are satisfactory! ;) The swamp dweller and other sketches are at Dennis’ place, I haven’t gotten around to scanning them yet (and I didn’t think I could use that sketch without going crazy OCD perfectionist on it, so I opted for something sillier and simpler).

For Shaintar, I play a young priest called Norwick who recently joined the Grey Rangers so that he may spread the true doctrine of the Church of Light around the world. We were on our way to a remote Gray Ranger garrison in the north when this truly awesome bit of gameplay transpired.
