illodeli News: We’re a Week Old!

The launch of illodeli.com into public Beta has gone smoothly, thank you to everyone who has signed up, bought artwork and given us feedback. We appreciate all the comments and positive vibes which we are receiving from numerous sources - with your support illodeli.com will continue to develop and expand at every opportunity!

* Now, down to business. The F.A.Q. has been updated with notes on using artwork you have purchased to advertise your publications - basically telling you that you’re allowed!

* Due to customer feedback we have also made some adjustments to a number of the Full Pagers, making them available as covers too. Some of these files are not full US Letter format, but are perfect for use as elements on covers, just make sure you check the dimensions for your needs before ordering.

Now onto the artwork, check out our newest additions:

Enjoy!

illodeli.com Launches!

Illodeli.com is a new online store which offers publishers the chance to buy artwork for their publications and immediately download it at print resolution.

Illodeli.com features the work of industry illustrators (and Meeemooo members!) Scotty Purdy, Andy Hepworth and Jon Hodgson.

We have a range of work from full colour covers right down to black and white spot art, all at great prices, and unavailable anywhere else.

Illodeli.com is launching in public beta mode, so currently our catalogue is a small selection of work, with plans for expansion on the immediate horizon. Regular updates are also in the pipeline, so check back often or sign up for our newsletter.

Our licenses are extremely simple. Each purchase allows the non-exclusive single use within one product. This is the barest baseline of use we could come up with, which allows us to give the cheapest possible price. Our filler and spot art is sold under a wider license which allows reuse within one product. Which seemed only fair!

Ben: Visit to the Soul Tree

The wind cut through the long grass as the souls of the dead wound through the night sky above. They had come to the Soul Tree, the place where all good souls travel to become one with the earth once more. For the bad souls who choose a different route, well - that is another story…

A Video!!

At last I’ve made a video!

I’ve been meaning to do this for quite a while, finally it’s here

The music is from one of my favourite bands of the moment…. http://www.iamreverend.com/

This is a fast frame vid of me digitally inking an Orc portrait in Painter, using the ‘cover pencil’.

Enjoy!

Ben: Candycreeps

I recently had the great pleasure of working with Nick and Elizabeth of Green Fairy Games on their new book Candycreeps, which was launched at GenCon Indianapolis a couple of weeks ago.

“In the adorably dystopian burg of Crowley City, the dead don’t just walk; they wash cars, write checks, teach classes, and run companies.  Living cartoon mascots called Pops aren’t just entertainment anymore; they might be your boss, your accountant, your classmate, or your drinking buddy.  Bogeymen rent beds to sleep under, vampires open butcher shops, and folks down on their luck dabble in the dark arts to make ends meet.”

I was lucky enough to get to produce the cover artwork, along with a bunch of interior chapter pages. The front cover can be seen above. If you’d like to see more of the artwork in the book…buy yourself a copy! It is available now from Green Fairy Games!

Another song hot from the studio, this time by Swans. Played by my own hand and sung with my own voice. Enjoy. www.myspace.com/dasfelt
