I am consistently amazed by the wide range of fan-created art posted in the Wingspan Facebook group. Ranging from crayon drawings by kids to watercolor paintings by lifelong artists and birders, I love that Natalia and Ana’s bird illustrations in Wingspan have been an inspiration for creative people around the world.
A little over a week ago, I had an idea: What if Stonemaier Games created a promo pack of existing Wingspan birds, but with fan-created art? Anyone could submit one illustration for consideration following a few guidelines (i.e., no AI-generated art and no photographs of birds). We would credit each artist on their card, send them a free pack, and donate $1 to a bird-related charity for every pack we print.
I ran the idea by my team, our shareholders, Natalia, Ana, and Elizabeth (Wingspan’s designer), and it was unanimously well received. So we’re doing this!
