View Full Version : Character Portrait Requested

Now, I'm sure we could just have a general character portrait thread, but I'm looking for something specific.

I'll spare you all a lot of details, but the character I'm looking for a portrait for is a young, nordic woman that's half-celestial. She appears to be in her early 20s, say about 22 with fair features, long blonde hair and a very noteworthy beauty.

The picture does not have to be celestial/have wings, although this is a plus.

Also, artwork is perfectly fine, but the nordic/fair blonde ancestry is important so if the art style is very anime/asian it won't work.

Her fighting style is a spear and shield, spartan style, and wears brigandine/chain mail. This also isn't critical, as the body/face portrait is the point here.


Thanks in advance, and remember to spoiler your pictures! Also, if you have any questions about the character I'll gladly answer them, just didn't want to make this post too tl;dr.

You might like to ask in the Dungeons and Dreamboats thread in Roleplaying, they take requests there. This came to mind for me:http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs22/f/2007/337/6/d/Snow_Doves_by_Shadowbrooke.jpgbut I forgot that the hair colour's wrong. Lets see what else I can find...

Thanks for the contribution, I saved a few of those I didn't have. However, most of them are far too young. Early-mid 20s, not pre-teen.

This one is pretty good:

http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs6/i/2005/038/c/b/Valkyrie_by_Serio555.jpg

It still strikes me as a more on the anime side (although I love the pic), as opposed to a classical nordic look.

Pre-teen? :smallconfused:
>looks at them again<
I guess most of them could be considered teenage, and one or two pre-teen... but all of them can easily be considered a young-looking 20-something or more (at least, they can to me).
What's wrong with this one, in particular?http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs50/f/2009/292/c/d/Valkyrie_by_midoriharada.jpgI thought it looked pretty much spot-on, complete with spear off to the side.

Some of these are very nice, especially taken as a whole, thanks again.

I also found this in my own searching:

Now the question becomes one of finding pics for style, armor and outfits.

The one you singled out is actually great for a certain part of her backstory, but wouldn't be something she wore often.

You seem to have a collection even more impressive then mine (to my surprize), so I wonder if you have anything for this as well?

I have this for an armor pic, but its too knightly looking:

I'm interested in what you have, and 'fantasy' armor is fine although if its completely unrealistic it won't be workable. More 'artist license' then silly.

Certinally 'classical', but she looks more like an opera performer then a angelic warrior...

Well, wing at the helm are kinda weird, but something in the look suggest quite tough demeanor, compared to most of such pics...

And outfit looks way more practical than 99% of them, even with wings. :smallwink:

You can't see much of the 'outfit' to be fair. If you are submitting this as a style/outfit pic, would need more of a body shot.

If you are submitting it as a profile pic, the woman is too old (35-40ish) and a bit too homely (basically fairly manly looking face) for my purposes here.

Thanks for your contribution though.

It sounds to me like you are looking for a valkyrie. What about these:

Those pics are not actually loading for me, not sure why; and sassy attitude is fine.

Spiryt: Thank you very much. That is excellent and pretty much perfect as an outfit shot. Her build and age are fairly spot-on as well. I mean, the weapon is wrong, but that's trivial to adjust mentally. Overall, thanks muchly.

Further contributions are appreciated and encouraged, of course, always nice to have a gallery to pick from. How about light armor/city wear?

I tend to disagree. There's wings too:smallbiggrin:

Seriously what he is looking for is the "sexy blonde warrior" cliché with wings. This fits.

Could save it to your comp and then host it via a pic hosting service like photobucket.

If you don't want to bother doing that I understand.

I disagree. he never said the word cliche, or sexy blonde.
he said Norse.

I don't call that sexy. She looks like she picked up several deformities from BoVD...

I do not presently have an account with any hosting service, I'm afraid, and I'd rather not setup an account that I am not going to use. If someone else does have an account with an image hosting service could you please repost the image?

@Shademan: I have allowed myself to interpret Kizara's initial post to mean "Sexy Blonde Warrior" (which in today's media saturated world is somewhat of a cliché in and of itself) with wings. In other words: The kind of Valkyrie you'd take home...

If you slap some armor on this chick she would be perfect.

Well, that depends on what you mean by "light" or "city". This picture actually looks somehow "city" as armor is quite short and maker apparently tried hard for armor to not flatten her figure too much. :smallwink:

Kizara
2010-11-14, 08:01 AM
In most larger cities, going around in full armor (and its a great armor pic, don't get me wrong at all) is not appropriate for anyone who isn't a soldier.

Thus my request for light armor, leather, or just nice clothing that one would wear in a populated area.

Although to be honest, she'll spend a good amount of time wrapped in a cloak to hide the large wings.

Kizara
