GOTHIC EARTHART PACK

for DMs Guild Creators

Introduction and License agreement

T his is the Gothic Earth Art Pack for DMs Guild Creators. This art pack includes 126 image files in TIFF format in the highest available resolution. These

have been sourced from various public domain image libraries, which are specified in their containing folders.

However, the images in this art pack are not all public domain; they have all been modified in one or more ways, including but not limited to: color correction to remove the page backgrounds from the original scan, conversion to black and white line art, sharpening, retouching to reduce distortion from page bends in scans, color correction for improved contrast, removal of captions and other text elements, and more. Permission is granted for all non-commercial purposes without limitation or credit.• Permission is granted for unlimited commercial

purposes (not limited to Ravenloft: Gothic Earth or DMs Guild titles) on two conditions: (1) all commercial uses of this artwork must include a credit for the source(s) listed in the folder structure of the art pack. For example, include “Public domain illustrations from The Johnstown Horror via The Internet Archive,” or “Public domain illustrations from Old Book Illustrations”—with a hyperlink, wherever possible. Links and URLs are included in this preview document; and (2) resale of these files as stock artwork is not permitted.

• Both commercial and non-commercial works are permitted to remix, modify, or otherwise adapt the images as needed in any way. If these stipulations are not agreeable to

you, you’re welcome to track down the original illustrations and redo my work; I’ve provided links to the archives to make this easier for you. Violation of these conditions voids the agreement; any works using these image files without an active agreement are deemed in violation of my copyright. No refunds will be provided.

Unfortunately, not all illustrators could be identified conclusively, but I have included them in the file name where possible. Please credit them where possible, especially if you use multiple images from the same illustrator.

A special thanks credit to Gordon McAlpin would also be appreciated, but is not required.

These files are black and white (grayscale) line art without transparency. In order to seamlessly blend them into your own book, change the transparency setting to Multiply in your layout program of choice (or the Multiply blend mode in the CSS of web-based layout).

These are files are provided “as is”; I cannot provide free technical support to creators who need further help with using these files.

Contact me@gordonmcalpin.com to discuss a paid consultation or design/layout work. (You can find examples of my design and illustration work at gordonmcalpin.com.)

Thank you for your support!

Modified illustrations from

The STRANDPublications and other commercial works using illustrations from this section should include a credit for The Strand (the original publication) and The Internet Archive, with the following URL, where possible: https://archive.org

These illustrations are derivative works based on original public domain illustrations and have been retouched either to add horror elements or to add a little more racial diversity to the (very, very white) Victorian images. Please include an illustration credit for Gordon McAlpin in your publication, as well.

Asian Socialite - The Strand.tif

NOTE: The gentleman in this image was retouched to look Asian, hopefully. (He was originally white.)

Be Off - The Strand.tif

NOTE: This image was retouched to adjust the appearances of the men on the left (original Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson).

Charlatan - The Strand.tif

NOTE: This image was retouched to give the man a smarmier facial expression.

Look Behind You - Strand2.tif

NOTE: This image was retouched to add the shadow demon in the back.

Operating Table - The Strand.tif

NOTE: This image was retouched to add the tentacles and the glowing eyes on the skeletons.

The Expert - retouched.tif

NOTE: This image was retouched to remove the man standing behind the woman in the center, in order to highlight her more.

Woman in Scary Room - The Strand.tif

NOTE: This image was retouched to include a much creepier raven rather than a parrot.

Women Printing - The Strand 12.tif

NOTE: This image was retouched to swap out a Sikh gentleman for the original man in the illustration.
