Back when I originally released this poster the print run was very sort, the cost to print at A2 was rather high and sales low. Back then I decided to discontinue the print and move on to other things, not really giving it a second thought. Recently someone asked me about the print and if it was available for download, today it is.

Origins

Circa 2007, originally this poster was designed for personal marketing, later turned into a Giclee print for sale. The poster makes use of vector as well as photographic elements and takes some of it’s inspiration from Monty Python artwork.  The model is my then friend, now wife, Aaryn Nutter.

Format

The reformatted poster is available at A3 size (that’s 297x420mm), 150dpi in CMYK color. While it’s recommended that you print the poster at A3 size, scaling larger or smaller should work fine.

Everyone Loves Posters
What’s a nice easy thing to make, print and give away? Posters!  With that decided, all that was left to do was decided on a theme, a theme my friends and I could relate to.  Everyone I know, in one form or another, plays games. So it was an obvious choice really. Posters based on different games for different people was out of the question. After all one of my variables was that this project be ‘quick to create’. Something I could do in a few lunch times, rather than a full blown project.

Along comes a theme
It hit me like a well landed swipe from a +10 to parry shield – sorry. RPGs. Now, while not everyone I knew had played an RPG, many had and those that hadn’t could be at least put into a core RPG bracket.  I’d decided four posters was a good number for a mini series, and that’s how I decided to split up the RPG genre. Lets face it there are really only four types of RPG player. The ‘run up and beat it to death’ type. The ‘let it hit me until it dies of exhaustion’ type. The ‘stand at the back and throw things at it’ type. And those ‘wear robes, a pointy hat and kill it with lightning from my finger tips’ types.

The fellowship
So here they are. Four A2 posters, simply illustrated, RPG game themed. Designed for my friends, offered to you to brighten up your office, home, cave, bastion of doom…
