Including Mood Boards in Kickstarter or Early Access pitches?
I'm a big fan of mood boards, ripomatics and the like. Being able to put together a bunch of images that show off the look and feel of a game (or movie or other creative product) in the preproduction stage, even if most of those images are taken from existing products, done by other artists etc., can be a quick and useful… -

Just to be clear, I'm not asking if it's a good idea to ONLY show artwork created by other people in a pitch. That would be a terrible idea. :) The question is if it's a bad idea to show ANY non-original work in a pitch. My hunch is that it's a bad idea, and you guy's feedback certainly confirms that hunch. Also, I wasn't… -
