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
