Well, as some of you may have seen over in my dwarven rogue thread, I'm starting a (surprise!) dwarven rogue. A friend may be doing a portrait, and I'm wanting to supply her with some sort of starting-point imagery but am coming up short (ha, I made with the funny); there's not much out there on Google Images that is even close. Not looking for a WoW look, a fighter look, a cartoon look, etc. - really wanting something more like the dwarf pic on the 3.5 PHB race images pages, but rogued-up (y'know, leather armor, bow and rapier, pouches and toolkits à la Medieval Dungeon Batman, plus all sneaky-looking :D ). Anybody know of anything out there that might at least start to fit?

Alternately, show her a picture of your ideal dwarf and a picture of our ideal rogue and have her connect the dots?

That's a good start. I've already pointed out the dwarf PHB portrait. May need to start tracking down some good "ideal rogue" pics. Good call.

*edit* Hmm. The pic of Lidda in the PHB rogue description is darn close. A bit more on the utility belt/pouches/tool bandolier/etc. and less on the big damn pack, and it'll be even closer.

have you perused elfwood.com? Some artists are pretty open about using their art as a muse...

I suggest having a look at this guy's (http://staino.deviantart.com/gallery/)stuff.

For example:

I would tell them to combine Jonny Depp with Danny Devito.

I know you're pretty set, but this is what I first thought of when you said "dwarf with toolkits":

It's a PrC from Complete Adventurer. Can't recall the name, something like Dungeon Delver?

Huh. Wow, been a while since I looked at CA at all. Thanks for the reminder and the great find!
