Okay friends, I put a zip file of all the silhouettes I've made so far in the sidebar to the right. Crappy or rough, these are something you might be able to build on. As I make more I'll showcase them on the blog but add them to that archive too. I also plan to add them all as svgs, but in time.
So I blogged about using symbols on a map to let players know stuff about your world about
a year ago. But recently, I decided making my own silhuouettes is the only way it's going to happen. So, I took a look at the terrestrial wilderness encounters from OD&D to see how many monsters that baseline would require. Looks like ~70 depending on whether you want to use dinosaurs and prehistoric beasts. Anyway, here are three classic beasties:
 |
| Hydra |
 |
| Centaur |
 |
| Sabertooth |
And your choice of scorpion:
I posted one for the cockatrice previously (it's in the zip file), so that means only about ~65 to go! And here are some herd animals in case you want to allow for hunting or hobbit-trampling:
Of course, watching this with keen interest.
ReplyDeleteAll your silhouettes are truly excellent -- thanks for sharing them!
ReplyDeleteThey are an excellent resource. Downloaded the file, and sure I can find a use for them. Thanks for all the work you've put into them.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Thanks for sharing! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love silhouettes! Thanks for sharing, Telecanter.
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure, everyone. It was weird to see how doing a few at a time I'd made almost 40 of these puppies. Sixty-five more monsters here we come!
