	Actually it might even be a good idea.  I think that if there were a
way to associate aperson with their work it might work better.  I know of
professional artists that put thier art up... things like HiRes J-Pegs and what
not...  I just doubt it would be useful for games, since they are usually done
in low res, like 320X200X256 color.  I have some drawings that I did a while
ago, back on the amiga in 32 color, but I never used them and have converted
them to IBM format.  They are simply pictures of monsters and Bards Tale type
creatures... I haven't found much use for them, and could probably upload them. 
Unfortunately, They are my first attempts at DPaint.  (Since then I have
learned tons...) They are also only one frame, since I never got around to
doing multiple frames for them, with the exception of one picture which needs a
touch up...  Anyhow if someone has a spare FTP site out there I suppose I could
upload those if they were of any use.  
	My contention is that few artist do game specific art unless hired to
do so, and then they know the particular genre to choose and so forth...

P.S.  Now if I had a machine on internet I might even set it up for an ftp
site!  Anyone want to donate one to my worthy cause!!?!  (Oh and throw in a
color scanner while you're at it!)
