Creating Your Own Sprites and Props for Use in BoardMaster. Here's a sample of sprites in action...

   

1. Characters and props must be a Windows BMP. The files may be any dimension but the size of an image should not exceed 1MEG.
2. Characters and props can be created from scanned photos or digital cameras by "painting" out the background using your favorite image editor. They can also be scanned hand drawn or digitally painted original artwork.
3. The background color of the image will be treated as transparent in the BoardMaster editor. As such the color used for the background should not be used in the character or prop. Any background color can be used but black and white is not recommended. Note that the background must consist of one solid color.
4. Once approved the artist submits the artwork to BoardMaster on a Windows compatible CD, or on floppy disk.
5. BoardMaster will then sell the artwork on the artists behalf and compensate the artist monthly for each sale of the artwork at an agreed upon price.
6. Artists will be required to sign a document giving sole rights to the artwork they are submitting for sale.

1. Backgrounds are usually a JPG file due to high resolution and small file size. The width to height ratio of the image must match the width to height of the aspect ratio you are targeting in BoardMaster. For academy (standard) aspect ratio, this would be 1.33:1

1. Artists can submit any combination of charcters or props.
2. Artists should be aware that purchasers of their artwork have rights to use the artwork for their own purposes, but do not have the right to resell the purchased images in electronic format.
3. Artists will be required to sign a license agreement.
