Character Portrait Showcase

[Catullus64]

So far as my diligent searching can discover, it's been upwards of a year since we've had one of these. Share portraits or models of your RPG characters!

These are the PCs, past and present, of my longest-running Dungeons & Dragons campaign as the DM. The game is set in Ireland during the Dark Ages, and this is what the characters looked like based on how I understand the PC descriptions. Having little artistic skill, I use HeroForge.

The following are pictures of my own PC, Valahuir the Elf, from a current campaign of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. Characters in WFRP progress through multiple 'careers' as they gain experience, and I made a new portrait for each of Valahuir's careers.

It is no inconsistency that Valahuir is left-handed here, where he appeared right-handed in the other portraits. He now has the Ambidextrous talent, and enjoys fighting left-handed for the sport of it. Meanwhile, a poniard waits under his cloak in the hidden right hand!

Giving this a little bump by playing along...

Jack of all trades, master of none, oftentimes better then a master of one. Cam is the "everything else" or "backup plan" of his party. If a solution requires something other then Punching, Swording or two days researching in a library, the party will probably look at the small ratfolk to give it the old college try.

Glitch has the innocence of a puppy and an innate want to find the good in everyone he meets. Even if you are the space mafia. Thankfully he has a weaponized robot and several larger party members for protection because his good intentions leads him to hell-paved roads.

both are doodles from my poor beaten up campaign notebook. I wouldn't be surprised if more characters were doodled in there from various one-shots or non-starters.

I described one of my current characters as "A mail-clad barbarian waving a huge ax joyously rides a flying lion-headed eagle":

By Frida Kahlo (https://labs.openai.com/s/vlAHSKAwDmvFjMTJOb9Q83Bq)

One of my companions in that game is “The holiest of turtles, burning with the light of god (https://labs.openai.com/s/RKfhtGv0jCWKpaEd6BcWnadH)”

My other current character doesn't have much of a canonical appearance, but our group is "A team of owl-themed absurdist super-criminals in a non-euclidean slum"

Illustrated by Dave Gibbons: (https://labs.openai.com/s/TStC6RdBu2QCPujXmqaKdsvU)

A recent character was "A cute purple dragon-like creature with long claws, perched on a tree branch (https://labs.openai.com/s/wDPKc01R469rBONrlHHcuqHP)"

But when I described another recent character as "A man with the head of an alligator, four arms, two with unnaturally long fingers and two with swords for hands, and an extremely long prehensile tongue, wearing camouflage” that was too many clauses:

A somewhat older character, fully ascended as God of Responsibility but still peacefully playing his flute:

By Michaelangelo (https://labs.openai.com/s/w5zL647Mfom12VdB71hR6aHq)

It's great how Dall-E2 gets all these famous artists to draw my characters for me.

ETA: shame it doesn't allow hotlinking
