Stock art & RPG tokens have their challenges.
This is an attempt to hurdle at least one of them.
This project will provide over 250 inked and colored components. Mix and match to create your own sci-fi masterpieces for RPG publishing or tabletop tokens. For this series, subjects will include: weapons, ships, portraits, characters, and scenes.
For every $1,000 over the funding goal, you'll get $20 in stock art credit.
(or printable miniatures/tokens if you don't use stock art.)
That credit will be good for life.
All components will be available in color as well as black and white PNG files at 300 DPI. Photoshop (.psd) files will also be made available for the Stock Art Master pledge level. These files will include vector lines and allow easy color changes and other editing options.
Files will be neatly organized by subject, color format, layer, and more.
The Just Tokens pledge level will include individual image components plus a Photoshop (.psd) file formatted for easy custom portraits and ships. Token images will be no larger than 300x300 pixels. Just toggle various layers for the image you want, then export for your personal tabletop use!
Backers will have the option of fulfillment through DriveThruRPG or a direct Dropbox link. Digital files on DriveThruRPG.com are stored virtually indefinitely.
All backers will have the ability to submit ideas to a suggestion pool for inspiration. Submitting an idea does not guarantee it will be selected or used. The Art Collector pledge level does have that guarantee though.
Backers who choose the Art Collector pledge will get (in addition to a guarantee to have one of their submitted ideas illustrated) a signed original illustration. They may choose from their submitted idea or a stock of existing artwork. Shipping is limited to the United States.
The following are examples of both art quality and how components can be swapped and matched to create a variety of arrangements.
The following are bonus rewards for backing at various levels. Higher pledges will always receive the awards for previous pledge levels.

I am James Shields, creator of the previous Kickstarter, Fantasy Stock Art & RPG Minis. I served as Art Director for White Star: Galaxy Edition and have created artwork for many RPG companies. Previous clients include Barrel Rider Games, Blackfall Press, Dread Unicorn Games, EN World, Kalos Comics, Rogue Comet, Small Niche Games, The Wrecking Crew, and many others. In addition to direct commissions, my stock illustrations appear in numerous roleplaying products, and can be found at RPGNow.com and Patreon.com/Jeshields.
Risks and challenges
The only risk associated with this project is time management. I am a freelance artist and constantly juggle other commissioned projects. Therefore, I have set the delivery date further than is probably necessary, but I'd rather deliver early than give excuses, regardless of the reasons.
