Need some 40k artwork for charity

[Kefka]

Hello everyone

As some of you know, I am setting up a fundraiser for the charity "Childs Play" this holiday season.
I'm still working out details, but I am getting a website set up soon and will be needing 1 thing, some artwork.
If anyone has some drawing skills and spare time, would they be able to donate a picture for me? I have a few ideas of what it should be (a child being held by an imperial guard, a space marine protecting children, etc.) but you can let your imagination go. Just keep it PG please.
This artwork will be put up on the finished website and posters we distribute. Credit will be given to the artist as well.

Thank you for your time. Feel free to ask anything about the charity or artwork. I hope someone out there is willing to help.

I don't think he'll run into much flak if it's not-for-profit... especially if it's for a charity 40k tourney or something.

Kefka, I'd be interested in doing something up if I have the time - could you give me a slightly more detailed description of what you're looking for? (subject matter, coloured/not, etc...) Also, a timeline of when you'd want the art by would be helpful. Anything for a good cause :)

I made this a while ago. If you want to use it, by all means, have at it. It isn't my best stuff, but its something you can use if you want.

If you are going to want him holding a baby or kissing virgin children, sorry, this guy doesn't want any part of that nonsense :)

Thank you fuzzbucket and buffo, I'll certainly keep you guys in mind.But I will keep the door open for anything that comes along.
@ The AKH
To answer a few of your questions:
Coloured would be preferred.
as for subject matter. Fuzzbucket sort of had the right idea. I want an Imperialist (guardsmen, Space Marine, even a Sister maybe) to be showing care for a human child. Saving the kid, or holding him after a battle.
To give an idea, I already got this:

An older piece by the artist, I can use it on my site, but cannot use it on my posters (he didn't give me permission).
As for deadline. I would like it relatively soon, but I am content on waiting till the end of the month. The fundraiser is only 2 months long, ending shortly after Christmas. I know, not much time, but I was hoping someone would be able to help.
If you can help Great!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

You should contact GW and not people here, because
A: Games Workshop can shut you down for using other people's GW related artwork due to profiting from it, even if it is for a good cause.
B: The quality of the artwork will be a lot higher if you succeed.

[Kefka]

Thank you for your concern Quaade, but I have contacted GW about it.
I cannot use any of their artwork, nore can I "buy" the artwork from anyone, so it has to be donated,or made myself. I would draw better if I put a pen in my mouth and had a seizure, seriously, Im that bad.
So I can use artwork depicting GW material, so long as the artist, nor I, gain any money from it. So all my fundraiser money (as originally planned anyways) is going to the chairity. There, hopefully, shouldn't be any problems.
And I have a feeling it would be a dumb move by GW to try pull a lawsuit on a charity that is basically promoting their stuff for free.

Hey
Could we also get some photos of the event too:D
(sorry to thread jack but!)

Remember you can also post your art here

I find this to be a noble idea, but have you made sure that you have all the legal/tax issues squared away?

Also, is this solely GW focused or are you incorporating other Sci-Fi/Fantasy universes as well? I know that many 40k addicts are poor due to our crippling plastic/metal/resin addiction.

Also, how are you going to raise the money? Is the art work just for promotional purposes or are you going to try and sell it?

I have mentioned this before. All the info can be found here:
