The Initiative Production Group is part of the leading edge of a new form of fan art. We are part of a small group of digital artists who are taking concept photography to a whole new level. By combining techniques refined by the movie industry, subject matter proven over decades, and artistic talent honed by decades of training and experience, we create compelling images we call story driven conceptual photography.

To date we have relied on the volunteer efforts of some very talented cosplayers. These people spend hundreds of dollars, and even more hours of time to create amazing costumes, props and even hollywood quality prosthetic makeup effects.

We want to give back to the community that has given so much to us and we need your help to make that happen...

this is the project  you're looking for.
you can give us your money now...

Our vision for this project is to create three masterworks combining two of our greatest influences; Star Wars, long renowned for its fan art contributions because of its rich mythology and Frank Frazetta, godfather of modern fantasy art. The working title is Star Wars Frazetta Style. 

The Star Wars universe is rich with diverse life forms, and uses a wide variety of specialized costuming. Frank Frazetta is known for his rich colors and fantastic settings. In order pay homage to these paragons of art, to properly execute this project we will need to raise a budget of $1,500.00.
All of the money collected during this campaign will go to: 
  • Cosplayer modeling fees, including travel and lodging as required
  • Purchasing the services of a professional makeup artist
  • Additional costume details, rental and prosthetics
  • 3d models and animation fees
  • Location fees
  • Props, catering and miscellaneous supplies
As a gift to those who contribute to this project we will be creating a limited run of prints of the images. These prints will not be offered for sale and are only available as a part of contributing to this effort.
The Initiative

For almost three years the Initiative Production Group has been creating compelling, story driven images with the help of some very talented cosplayers. The Initiative is driven by Gordon Lamb and William Logan, two professionals in digital arts with a combined fifty years experience. Together as the Initiative they have produced over a dozen projects.

We know that these craftspersons spend countless hours and their own money to create fantastic costumes. They create living works of art based in part, or in whole, on fictional characters who's stories have touched us all. We also know that they do this because the love the characters, and the worlds these characters inhabit.

Typically cosplay photography is done on the cheap, or for free. The goal of the Initiative is to take cosplay to the next level. This time we want to take the production to the next level. In order to do that we need your help. We have never charged for our photography. The Initiative has relied upon its own funds and the time donated by cosplayers in its efforts so far. 

We believe it's a natural progression to begin funding our sessions just as a film is funded; with the help of entrepreneurs, private investors and a dedicated fan base. By putting money into the cosplay community we are funding an ever increasing level of quality and a greater freedom to create.

Risks & Challenges

Our experience as professionals creating television commercials, short films and documentaries informs our process of producing photo shoots. These processes are time-tested in removing any risks and overcoming most challenges presented. Adding to that is our years of experience in ideating, planning and executing projects. Together these give us a greater opportunity for success.
