Looking for character art
Hello! I've been looking for pictures to represent the characters in my game (to surprise the players with) and I figured I'd ask here. I know y'all have some cool pics and I was hoping someone might be willing to share!
I have:
a male half-orc cleric of Heironeious
an incredibly irritable female gnome sorceror
a male human monk (with the personality of Neil Patrick Harris)
a female human fighter
It's actually the last one I need the most help on. See, it's a plot point that she's older than the other characters (not ancient, just middle-aged), and apparently it's a rule of fantasy art that all female fighters are 19-year-old supermodels.
So yeah... while I'd love suggestions for any of the others, if anyone has a pic of a female fighter in her late 30's-early 40's, that would be AWESOME!Last edited by Pisha; 2011-03-25 at 12:03 PM.
Our Shadowrun game is pretty much one long string of bad ideas, fueled by enthusiasm.

Re: Looking for character art
Middle-aged woman can mean a lot of things. Jane Lunch http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0528331/ is 50 years old, and so is Mi'lin Stone Poole http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0690859/. My point here is that you should probably include some kind of description. Height, build, hair, eyes, complexion, etc.

It calls it a half orc, but the more masculine appearance could be from a life of being a fighter, like the way extreme female body builders tend to be a bit more masculine.

As far as half orc Cleric goes:

Yeah, I was thinking him as well. This Half Orc Paladin might also work as well.

Re: Looking for character art
Well, that's the thing - I'm flexible on most aspects. I know I'm not going to get an exact match to what the player visualizes, not without hiring someone to draw it for me! But a rough approximation of the idea of the character would be fun, I think. So I'm not especially fussed about things like eye color, hair color, etc. for any of the characters - I just don't want a cheesecake fighter!
(For example: as different as your two examples look, I'd love a pic of EITHER of them in armor with a big ol' sword!)Last edited by Pisha; 2011-03-25 at 05:49 PM.
