I purchased Sade's Steampunk Angels stock art for use in an upcoming sci-fi/cyberpunk release, and I'm fairly satisfied with the purchase. I'll defiantly use Steampunk Angels in at least one upcoming Otherverse Games release and I plan to purchase more products from Sade as soon as my budget allows.
Right now, I'm satisfied with the design of his characters, and am looking forward to seeing what else Sade will release. The studio is turning into the 'hot chicks' publisher of note- he's kind of like the RPG Stock Art equivalent of Mike Turner, a very skilled artist who knows how to illustrate tough but sexy female characters.
That said, I don't want Sade to fall into the trap of ONLY producing female characters. Expand the range. I want male characters, mecha, cyborgs, monsters, the whole range of sci-fi and fantasy archetypes. Give me more action oriented poses, battle weary and beat-up heroic women, and designs from a variety of genres, not just fantasy and sci-fi. Give us some modern women (and men): cops, gang-chicks, doctors, realistic US military, terrorists and generic foreign fighters.
Basically, give us the works, Sade. If you keep producing images at the rate and the quality of your first few releases, we'll keep buying them.
Before I go, a short side note. The version of the file I downloaded didn't include a license or information on how the company should be credited. It's an oversight, but one that should be corrected in future releases.
