i also wondered about the admin activity, now that Bart is getting money from the site, hes nowhere to be seen most of the time, no updates to design, contest, activities... its quite the opposite effect that should be expect. I sincerely hope this site doesnt became a mushroom grow kind of site.

You see, no one is gonna get motivated to model something for you if keep all rigths to the model, if you release those concepts under any of the libre licenses your chances go up by a lot. CC-BY-SA is pretty good for that.

I have some game ready monsters for open dungeons, just click my name and you can see my stuff, also look for :

http://opengameart.org/content/beetle-golem-animated

http://opengameart.org/content/iron-armor-set

http://opengameart.org/content/lizardman-0

But, what art style are you going for? do you have anything in mind?

This is great, but its lacking something, a few death animations, is there any chance you will release them?
