Heya! No worries, we should never be in a hurry. I'm late in replying as well, stuffed with Christmas food to bursting!
Yep, it's true for sure! 300+ volunteers working in their spare time in what amounts basically to a shadow Games Workshop without money involved. The non-profit part is a fundamental pillar of the project (not least for legal safety, and so much donated work and art would crumble under T9A's feet if they went commercial), and we're always careful with due crediting.
Thank you kindly! That is very helpful!
I've taken a careful look through your gallery, avoiding commissions (and cropping some interesting images to avoid plastic tape on the edges - just in case this would still be of interest), and gosh, it's a horror tour de force! Exquisite stuff, and truly nightmare-inducing if I was easily scared by images alone. I'll just have to remember not sharing it with people easily scared from their wits. I once wrote this little story (
www.lustria-online.com/threads… ), and some Lizardman collector later told me he had been ridden by nightmares for several nights after reading it. I've no idea how he would react to your deep and magnificiently disturbing gory artwork.
Many of the images I've picked out in this initial proposal may not be immediately applicable to existing features in the Ninth Age setting, but I'm sure you know well how art informs background lore, so I decided to ask for more than I would otherwise have done, so that T9A volunteer setting designers might have some truly dark and even freakish (in a good sense!) art to be inspired by, and later on use, should you be interested in letting us use some or all of them.
So, while the Zulu Vampire is the hottest stuff from a T9A perspective, I've picked out 18 different artworks of yours as an initial proposal. Would you be interested in allowing T9A to use some of them under the said terms (no-profit, due credit always given, and me linking back to the individual artwork pieces of yours on Deviantart)?

In any case, have a great holiday, keep up the splendid artworks of yours! Stunning gallery, and most memorable.
