Any volunteer screen archers?

[Cecell]

I've wanted to create a mod that adds a number of books to Skyrim SE that would be placed around the world and I guess, depending upon the number of books added, maybe even added to leveled lists. Content however is the most critical part of a project like this.

 

There's plenty of cool stuff on project Gutenberg for example to include but I had hoped to do better than that. Are there any screen archers that, with appropriate credit being given to said artist not only on the mod's page but also in the book itself, would be willing to give me permission to use their posted collections? While I will maintain the creative control over the books themselves of course I have no desire or plans to modify the images in any way other than the format, size/dimensions, orientation and I guess possibly slight color changes as could be necessary for the art to be rendered correctly in game. I am not however opposed to contributions from the author such as mostly lore-friendly creative writing to accompany the art. Many series are intended to tell amazing stories. Again, for full disclosure, I will maintain the final say in the creative process but I do want to do my best to honor the exceptions stated above. Permissions are such a hot button topic that to fail to be clear would be irresponsible. I would also control the permissions relating to the redistribution of the final mod assets for purposes including, but not limited to, inclusion in other mods. I think that if someone wanted to include the content as part of another larger mod that'd be cool! I want to keep the options open going forward. I think most mod authors are familiar with trying to track people down for permissions many years since their last activity on the Nexus so I'd like to be proactive in avoiding that hurdle.

 

It is worth mentioning that for me this is 100% for enjoyment's sake and thus I do not accept any form of monetary compensation. If you do then by all means provide me with links to your preferred donations medium and I will absolutely include said info on the mod page!

 

First and foremost, since my desire is for this to be a Nexus release it is critical that you read the rules governing the content and handling of mods on the Nexus and work with me to remain in compliance with the rules at all times.

 

It would be highly preferable for anyone that is interested to use the nexus messaging system to contact me instead of posting here.

 

Thank you for your time!
