Find the D&D Art You Are Looking For

Wizards of the Coast has been very generous.  They've made a lot of artwork from past editions of D&D available for DMs Guild products (as well as for personal use).  For free.

But it can be very hard to find art you want of a specific creature or other subject.  There are many collections to search, and the file names are frequently non-intuitive.  If not downright misleading.

Enter the DMs Guild Creator Resource Art DirectoryThis is an Excel spreadsheet of data to help you find the professional artwork that you are seeking.  (Not a PDF, because there are too many columns.)  For those without Excel, we've also included tab-delimited text files.  You can import these into the spreadsheet of your choice.

All 1,953 scanned images, gathered from 38 creator resource collections, are listed within.  (Although some are duplicate images scanned from different sources or for different collections.)

Help Us Help You

We hope you find this directory useful.  If you do, please consider purchasing it... It has taken a lot of work to assemble!  However, we understand that not everyone is in a position to do that.  (Especially sight-unseen!)  So we are making this Pay What You Want (which can be $0).  If circumstances change, you can always buy it for a reasonable amount later.  Rating, reviewing, and providing constructive feedback are also appreciated!

We want it to be as easy as possible to find professional artwork for your D&D products.  Wizards of the Coast made this art available to all for use on the DMs Guild.  (Thanks, WotC!)  So go make something fantastic!

This directly was instantly useful from the second I downloaded it, since all the free use artwork is impossibly disorganized. Absolutely worth paying the $1 suggested price — more if you can afford it for the time and effort that went into compiling [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
