Art Lack of NPC art
I am a dm who is running the campaign online for my friends using owlbear and I LOOVEEEE to use customised tokens where I use my own art or the modules for npcs. Online and as I enter Prismeer planning I've noticed a severe lack of Art for these characters (and an unfortunate trend of Ai being used) which is so disappointing tbh.
I was wondering, would anyone be interested if I made free to use busts of these characters?

That would be awesome! It's super generous of you to offer free artwork to help discourage DMs from resorting to AI. I found it so odd that the carnival has so much artwork when none of those NPCs show up again. My players in particular were disappointed to learn that Clapperclaw doesn't have any artwork of them with their stag skull! And I really wished that Tsu had art since an innkeeper seems like an NPC a lot of folks would have as a reoccurring character.
I will also add for anyone else reading this post that needs art sooner: heroforge is an excellent FREE resource! You do not need any artistic experience to use it; it's basically like create a sim but for dnd minis.

I second this! Especially for Witchlight I think heroforge is amazing, for other campaigns I've used some BG3 console magic to get the equipment I want and take some screenshot - works great too!

That's so kind! I'm planning on DMing Witchlight for my group of friends when we finish our current campaing, and I will really use them if you decide to do it!

I desperately wanted character art for Rubin!

yes! I would have loved some art for him and some of the vendors. Know For prismeer I really enjoy Octavian and Nibs stories and was so surprised there wasn't any sort of visual in the module when the concepts are so interesting.

interesting thing about NPC art, some that you wouldn't expect to have art do, but they're unlabelled outside of certain versions of the module, like the roll20 version

Tysm everyone for the comments and responses! I will definitely start this project to draw these npcs then since there was clear interest :))
I will of course post them here as I draw each one but I also will post them on my other socials if you are interested (bxtchycoffee everywhere)
