He's Making a List...#1: Sample Art Objects

Well, I thought I'd start off with a list I've been working on for years, a Sample Art Objects list! I've been influenced by several threads and posts on this subject over the years and wanted to finally publish a compilation of all the best of those ideas in one place. Before I start, I did not make all of these items but they were too good to not to have on this List. If you are the maker of any of these art object ideas, let me know in the comments and I'll add you to the credits for this post. I do not mean to take credit for anything I did not create myself, I just want to let Gamers know about interesting and cool ideas.

Alrighty, lets get to the list....
