Public Domain stock art is a gamble. You either wind up with a lot of junk or a lot of bad images.

NOT this set. These are all high-quality, high-resolution images. And they're good images. Even if I had a list of sites to download the individual images for free, I doubt they would be of the quality this collection provides.

5/5. It was worth the gamble.

They were quick and fixed an error immediately. And the art is amazing! Would buy from again!

This art is excellent and appropriate in every way. It captures the description of the creature, its antecedents and inspirations that gave rise to it in its original version in earlier editions, and provides it in evocative pose that sparks the imagination. This is the very best kind of stock art and is well worth every penny!

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

9 black and white pics that look like the were grabbed of the net and given bad filter on Powerpoint. I made the mistake of getting this, DO NOT FOLLOW in my footsteps.

I'm honestly a little surprised at how often I use these goblins. However, they DO get a lot of use and they look amazing. My personal favorite is the female goblin. They're all really high quality, wonderful illustrations.

This mini-subscription contains an excellent selection of Christmas-themed stock art, and (aside from a couple of the bonus images) they're generally cute and weapon-free, making them ideal for kid-friendly scenarios.

More stock art tonight and some very useful ones at that. I have used all of these in one form or another in my own work.

Publisher's Choice -Equipment: Witch Tools

From Fat Goblin Games. $3.83. ZIP file.

This collection includes six TIFF images of a cauldron, hat, a wand, a broom, book, and a shrunken head.

These are really useful, I've combined them with other images to create several product covers -- I'd love to see more!

This is the nicest-looking 5e compatibility logo I can find.

I wish that the silver filagree version of this logo that MT Black uses was still available, but it's not part of this download and if it's a separate item, I can't find it.

I can not believe how quick and exceelent an artist Rick is, and his rates are fantastic.

Love these images. They are versatile and beautifully done.

The artwork is quality. The license is good. The only thing keeping me from giving it that 5th star is that the description says this pack includes a grippli alchemist. That is a stretch. The witch, dragonfly rider and iconic are all good as they're the ones in the front. The one in the back of the preview, well that can be interpreted as an alchemist, but it is an easier call to say that it is a spellcaster. This wouldn't bother me so much except I was buying this for the alchemist. So I am not sure if I am going to be able to use this for my desired purpose. However, the price is good at $6 for 4 characters and I am sure I'll be able to use these in some other future projects. If I could give this 4.5 stars, I would. Had the preview displayed the back character more clearly, this wouldn't have been an issue.

I used this is my debut DMsGuild product - Unsettled Ground - and the flexibility of the license was great as well as the quality of the artwork.

Okay, so I review this as some length here

https://www.thegrinningfrog.com/post/review-sketchbook-creatures

but the essence is that this is something of a mixed bag. You get 53 images so that's a lot for your money, even at full price. Of those I think roughly 40 are entirely usable whilst the others are potentially lacking too much detail.

Whatever technique has been used to create the art has soften the images and the contrast is so low that some become quite indistinct.

The art is very much a sketchbook style but, and this is a guess not a known fact, it's been done via computer so it looks surpringly uniform. Which visually clashes a little with the 'sketch' idea. The images also come on a light faux paper background which is going to be difficult to remove without removing parts of the images - at least on the succubus that I tried it on.

Effectively this is a grab bag of Dungeons and Dragons creatures. I actually wrote out the list of names but don't want to cause any IP issues so suffice to say you get creatures you will recognise. I mention some by name on my fuller review and there are things to like in here too.

Some of the details are good - the succubus has cloven feet, the blink dog is blinking (I love that!), the ettin has different number of eyes on each head, the expressions on some are great - the Dretch is drooling. I actually don't know that creature but I assume it's some sort of large thuggish brute from the picture.

If you want ingame art, this pack is perfectly fine. If you want images to use in publications you might want to reconsider. Yes you get a lot of volume but unless you are going for a sketch style this isn't going to work. The three on the cover are three of the better images although there are easily ten to fifteen really good ones beside those. It doesn't get better than what you see on the cover, just fyi.

It's going to take a while for me to use these images, they don't beg me to use them. I gave them four stars because really it's a solid 3.5 but that's not an option. I felt mean scoring them down to a 3 as some of the images are nice and I appreciate the details.

SUMMARY

In Game Use Get it in one of their sales to offset the images that just don't work and you should be fine. For Publishing Purposes Only purchase if you can use multiple images in a very specific style that won't blend well with other sketch styles

I loved the first Equipment Subscription, and have made extensive use of it. This subscription only has a few equipment sets so far, but I've already used some of the new art in a published product, and I can't wait to see what comes next!
