Hey KingOfChaos.....I'm almost done with Zanatose. My apologies for being so late with it. My new job isn't a 9:00am to 6:00pm kinda job. Often I'm working late....which means by the time I come home I barely have time for anything. Ah...then the holidays came along.....and I could've finished Zan up then....but man...I just slept a lot!
Hold on a little longer....(its also going to be in color). I don't won't to rush it really. I haven't forgotten.
greatseamonster, nice pic of the half-orc! I like the feel of it. Yah, its a little Marvel-esque...but that's cool. Nothing wrong with that.

When one thinks of a Crusader, they think of a knight which hefts a large sword and weilds a steel shield against the forces of evil. Not this crusader, who's magic is his sword and shield.
Elroumar is a forsaken elf (in scarred lands, the elves lost their deity and thus are considered forsaken) of average height. However, he hunches a lot, to show his distaste for the corrupt elven society of Termana. In fact, he will often masquerade as a human because he hates the cancer of evil growing in his own home. Regardless, he always wears a pale grey mask on his face and keeps his salt and pepper colored hair short. His ears, once pointed, have been cut to remove the elven appearance entirely and he completely throws off the gaudy fashions that his people seem to flaunt by wearing a gray, white, and silver robe. These robes have plates or armor fastened to vital areas, creating slight protection against melee attacks but are completely armless to allow better movement of his arms to cast spells. The robe is a little open at the top, revealing a tattoo of a shield with an eye in the middle of it just below his throat, the sign of his Order. He also carries an oval piece of wood around his neck. This is the holy symbol of the lost elven deity, who no one can remember. The blank piece of wood represents Elroumar's faith in 'That Which Abides' and that the elven abjurer awaits the eventual return of the diety. At that time, he will carve the deities symbol on the disk himself and wear it proudly as one of the elves that remembered the good of their race before the elven diety fell in the battle against its own treacherous herald. While a pious and pure elf, Elroumar is very bitter about everything and can often be very irritable toward others, especially when he believed they're evil or uncaring toward others.
Suggested Pose: It would probably be cool to see Elroumar standing with his arms stretched out before him, fists touching, with two wands, each pointing outward and flashing with arcane energy sticking out of each fist (this is hard to explain, but think of how you would stab something overhand, now take a knife like that in each hand and touch the handles together). Elroumar often wears a buckler on his right arm as well and a wand holster on his left, so they should probably be seen in the picture. He also wears a quiver of arrows on his back and a composite longbow will often be seen hanging on his back. In fact, this elf is very super-heroish looking (at least I think so after reading the description the first time after I wrote it). As far as everything else goes, you can add stuff. Just remember not to add many non-charged type magical items since in Scarred Lands, those things cost a lot of money. He mostly uses wands and the spells in his head.

Heres one. Sorry I forgot the side whiskers. She's a pretty shaven looking dwarf. fair charisma score though...perhaps that damn flaming sword burns some of that side hair off as she's whipping it around and readyin a charge. That could be very possible.
Maybe this is something somewhat close. No weapons, unless they're strapped across his back. I imagine he's spending a day in a settlement, making his way to a trading post or something. Either that, or simple surveying in the wilderness.

Klor Frostfist
Klor is a Suel (human subrace from greyhawk) Male from the Fruztii barbarian tribe. Klor stands about 6'2" and roughly 200 lbs. He is athletic, though not overly bulky compared to other warriors. Klor's hair is very long and blonde, and hangs down his back. His face is covered in a scraggly blonde beard that partially cover tatoos from his barbarian clan. His skin is quite pale, and his eyes are pink noting him to as an albino.
Klor is always wearing a polar bear hide cloak and usually has the bear head pulled up resting on his own head to give him a more fearsome look. A breastplate armor covers most of his body with the leathers underneath covering most of the rest, except his left arm. His leather boots are insulated, and furry to help keep his feet warm in the frozen lands. Upon his left arm are strange tatoos that seem to move of their own accord. The tatoos are in infernal, and move to form the names of 101 devils. They are constantly changing to spell out the vile names of the creatures. Typically Klor carries his axe in hand when travelling in case of trouble. He also has a composite bow crafted for his strength unstrung on his back with a sheathe of flight arrows.
At his side is a feral wolf named Swiftwind, that Klor befriended after saving it from a pit trap. The wolf is untrained, and unrestrained. Klor has no control over it, and it gets him into trouble at times. Swiftwind is prone to snarling and biting at anything other than his friend Klor.
Maybe this is something somewhat close. No weapons, unless they're strapped across his back. I imagine he's spending a day in a settlement, making his way to a trading post or something. Either that, or simple surveying in the wilderness.
yet again a really cool pic what is your medium?

Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.
Elijayess Moonshadow is a rugged wild elf, though not as feral looking as some members of his race, due to years away from the harsh forests of his homeland. The strongest elf who ever lived, Elijayess is still lean and lithe. His rock-hard muscles look carved out of stone, but his elven heritage prevents him from being overly bulky. His nearly waist length black hair is fine and straight like that of a Native American, but he keeps it pulled back in a thick single braid. His long bangs would cover his eyes if he didn’t keep them swept to one side. His skin is dark.
His signature weapon is his mighty longbow. At first glance it appears crude for an elven weapon, not delicate and artistic but massive in its destructive capabilities. Few men alive possess the strength to draw the string to their ear, fewer still can string it. Countless men and beasts have been felled by the deadly bow of Elijayess.
His other weapons include an enchanted bastard sword inlaid with a slim mural of reptilian beasts along the middle of the blade (the sword possesses special enchantments against reptilian foes), and a dagger is sheathed on the outside of each of his shins, their handles protruding from his leather boots.
He wears form fitting buckskin pants and sleeveless leather armor on his torso, accentuating his muscular bare arms. A blood-red hooded cloak adorns his shoulders, and a quiver full of black feathered arrows is strapped across his back, over the cloak. His bastard sword hangs in a scabbard at his side and he wears a gold amulet around his neck.

Hmm... nice work on all these here pics.
I've been trying for ages to get a good rendition of my favorite character, Angcuru Melaroira, but with no luck.
The problem is that I have two mental images of him: during his adventuring years, and post-adventuring/settled-down.
I hope someone here is up to the task...
Here's a general description of what he looks like:
Male Elf, about 6 foot tall (1.83 meters), approx 150-160 lbs (68-73 kilograms).
Slightly tan skin tone.
Auburn hair tied back into a single plait, a generous bit longer than shoulder length.
Light green eyes.
When it comes down to it, the best way to describe his facial structure is a young Kevin Costner(with elven features, of course, but not TOO elven).
Body structure is well-muscled, not overbearing, not bulgy, but more along the lines of being lithe, sinewy, etc. Right handed.
Now, during his time as an adventurer (actually more like trying to survive and get a bit of revenge, but that's beside the point) he dresses in simple, but stylish shirt and breeches, colored brown/green, general woodsy-colors. Angcuru doesn't wear any armor, since his main method of defense is being REALLY fast, agile, intuitive dodging, etc. This should be suggested or portrayed somehow in the pic. His weapon of choice is the longbow, which he uses with unnatural accuracy and speed. He doesn't use the normal method of precisely aiming each shot, waitint to see if it hits, and then going for the next shot. His method would be best described as placing the arrow(s) exactly where he wants it to go with a swift, speedy pull and release, drawing another arrow(s) with the same motion used to release his shot; kinda like a super-accurate machine gun, but with arrows. Otherwise he uses a long, thin, single-edged blade of golden glass, sort of like a straight katana, which he wields in the fashion of a fencer/duelist/really agile bad-ass type(uses his free[left] hand to direct the motion of the blade by moving it along the blunt edge when blocking/parrying, and switches to two hands when on the offensive, using precise, swift slicing/thrusting strikes) (note, the scabbard is made of the same transparent golden glass). When the bow and quiver are not in use, they take the form of a thin leather bracelet on his right wrist (yeah, it's magic and all). For other general equipment, he wears leather, platinum-etched bracers; a small jade amulet; two rings, one a circle of frozen blue flame, the other a plain platinum band; a smooth cloak of woven leaves and general all-purpose leather boots.
Either sword or bow mode would be nice, or just standing at the ready in some sort of meaningful pose, but feel free to do more than one. His expression should be unconcerned and calm normally, or hard with a piercing gaze if he's pissed off in the picture.
As for post-adventuring mode, his expression is more relaxed, suggesting a quiet happiness. Angcuru would be wearing long, flowing robes, somewhat akin to toga, but not as extreme (the coloring of which would be a mix of greens and browns, melded togther in a marble-like pattern). There's a whole lot of detail on his demeanor and body movement, lifestyle, etc. in my Story Hour - Avarimorion Maranwen'tyene - UPDATED 2/07 CH. 18 - Don't Piss Off the Bhaalspawn!.
I don't want to be too demanding or sound unnapreciative of the time and effort it takes for artists to do this kind of thing (I'm quite horrible at it myself), but as I'm looking for something of a defining image, fine attention to detail is a bit of a must.
Well there ya go. Have fun being artistic. I hope.
Aenilaen (Angel, Angela) Sorne
Female High Elf
Ranger 1st lvl
ALIGNMENT: Neutral Good
WGT: 150
BUILD: Slender
EYES: Emerald green
Hair: auburn
APPEARANCE
Aenilaen is a beautiful elf with the finely chiseled features and fair skin of a high elf. Her build is slender and graceful, hiding great strength and agility. Her eyes are bright emerald green flecked with gold. Her bright auburn hair is normally braided into a single wrist thick braid that hangs past her waist.
Her loose gray breeches are tucked into a pair of black sturdy, calf-lth boots. Her loose gray shirt is in turn held in place by a sword-belt from which swings a long sword, dagger and a couple of belt-pouches. A water-proof greenish-gray cloak and hood covers her from head to foot (when she needs it too anyway).
Strapped to her back is a modified back-pack and quiverfull of arrows. (the quiver is attached to the pack and can be easily removed).
In one hand is a beautifully carved longbow, which was given to her when she reached her majority and left home.

Sounds fun, thats a lot of detail to remember though. Ive got some others q'd at the moment. First up...a sexy amazon. We'll see if I can do that. I don't like to spend too much time on my pieces (under 45 min if I can) because I've got a lot of other projects going on. But it's good practice and a fun distraction. Thanks for the kudo's ladies and gentlemen. This is fun.

I wasnt sure what kind of weapon she would have. I assumed at somepoint she would have weilded a glaive or guisarme. I wanted to give her a look of nobility. I can imagine her in different moods, even though she's obviously just taken someone out, I think I can see her in a different light as nurturing when she dosnt have to kick ass. My own little story in doing this pic was imagining that she had just taken down an assasin that had crawled through a palace window. I didnt include the dismembered assasin.

Callisarieos was born in Sparta Greece. She was very beautiful and was very popular among the men. she had an older brother, and her mother pretty much blamed her for everything bad that happened to the family. Even when Callisarieos's father was killed in battle. She was considered a "danger" to Sparta, even though no one's ever figured out why. When the King of Sparta went to Ares' temple to seek council, the god appeared to him in a dream "Take the girl away from Sparta, leave her somewhere far off where no one will ever find her. If she steps one foot on Spartan soil, she will be dead within the day." The next night the king sent out his guards to kidnap Callisarieos. They killed her family and knocked her unconscious so she wouldn't be screaming and fighting them. They left her in Asia Minor with a scar down her right shoulder. The Amazons found her and took her in and healed her, and so on and so on. Callisarieos was a born warrior, so this was no difficult task to be an Amazon. She became the Commanding Officer, Story Writer, Song Writer, Carer of the Children, and the High Priestess of Ares much to the queens dismay as she pointed out that Callis was only human and could do only so much. But Callis stuck in there.
She usually wears a black leather ankle length skirt that has slits up to her hips on both sides, she wheres a belly shirt that reveals mainly all of her stomach and is strapless. She goes barefoot and wears a black cape with a red interior. Callis also wears a gold snake armbracelet on her right arm, and a silver on her left.
