Call for Artists for Escape From Numenor

Enrique Draft 2 of Escape From Numenor Cover

So if you have even the slightest inclination to create artwork based on Numenor (especially as detailed in Akallabeth), please submit any and all artwork you have. Don't be shy. Most submissions WILL be considered, as in the "good old days" of the early role playing modules that took quite a variety of artwork styles and quality.

You may submit any visual style artwork, whether it's photos of people dressed up in appropriate attire, simple abstract pencil sketches, black and white line drawings, color, pastels, water colors, computer generated, if it's related to Numenor the Land or it's People, odds are it will be used.

Please send it in the highest resolution possible, in JPG or PNG format. If you have a link for it to be downloaded from, that's fine too.


Send submissions by email to:
group131 at merp dot com

Please hurry, this module will be released as soon as possible.

We are still taking submissions for the front cover.

The front cover must be full cover and depict the following scene:

"An angled view of Numenor, viewed from the East at some altitude, facing West towards the island.
The large range "clouds" of the "Eagles of Manwe" in a range in the sky stretching out of site from north to south, arrayed with lightning beneath their wings approaches from the West, beginning to block out the westering sun, with a red glow cast upon them.
Smoke tendrils issue from the top of the mountain Meneltarma rising high in the center of the isle.
In the distance just past the Meneltarma you see a bay on the west (opposite side) of Numenor (Nen Eldanna, see the map) with many thousands of small ships in it sailing into the West in a line fading out of site.
In the east of the isle nearer in the foreground, you see the tendrils of smoke issuing from the black temple, with a figure standing on it's peak, shaking his fist in defiance as lightning strikes the dome (this is Sauron of course) of the temple of Melkor/Morgoth. "

Some submission drafts have been received for the front cover, but so far no one has submitted any finished works.

As an added incentive to encourage submissions, the one who's artwork is used for the front cover, may receive a special actual printed and bound version of the module in thanks for their hard work.
Of course full attribution will be listed for all artwork, please post with your submission how you want the information listed. Include your email address, name as desired to be posted, and if you wish a url to your website if you wish.

This module when finally released will be freely available as a PDF to one and all.

So send your submission today please!

Some submissions received.

We have received a couple of incomplete submissions for the cover. We're hoping at least one of them will be completed soon.
Meanwhile we still need a lot more artwork for the interior.
