[sblock=Base pic I managed to find again, placed here so I won't have to search as much later.]

I'm in no rush or anything and am content to wait, just getting this HERE so I can find it more easily. Took me awhile to find it again. I actually based Shanairra's written description off of this picture and a bit of changes therein.

Ok, after a bit of a wait, here are some options for Bell (ScorpiusRisk). I haven't put a weapon on the second because I wasn't sure what type of sword you would want. If you want any additional changes to either of them, just let me know

I like that second image allot! Thanks Fragsie. I think it really captures the fun and care fee attitude that Bell often embodies right now. I think I'll hold onto the other base image though.

It'll be good in a couple of years, I've dumped all my DM credits into her, and shes matured a bit.

She will be wielding a long sword.

Fragsie · Jan 25, 2010

Any colour changes, or any other details that you would like adding? Do you like the pattern on her forehead, or would you like it removing?

ScorpiusRisk · Jan 25, 2010

Nah I think the forehead thing is cute. I'm sure it's inevitable till she has some sort of headband.

If it's doable, her hair could be a little bit blonder, but honestly I'm quite happy.

The one thing that sticks out to me is that the cloak doesn't bulge at all over the shield, which makes it obvious the shield was added later

Fragsie · Jan 25, 2010

I'll see if I can do something about that when I add in the sword

Kalidrev · Jan 25, 2010

Fragsie,

I like the first image you showed because he's more "stocky", so please use that one. Here are some ideas I have for his equipment (if you can).

Armor: Just make this a thick "band" of fur (supposed to be griffin hide) that crosses from his right shoulder to his left hip. Also, if you can, have

the attached dragonmark image poking out and mostly visible from under the band of fur over his heart (shrink to scale as needed).

Cloak: A cloak of scaled feathers. I'll give you all the creative license you'd like on this one, but I figure that this would be griffin feathers (golden-brown?)

Sword: a longsword, it's cross guard carved to resemble a series of dark clouds and its blade etched with the design of a lightning bolt striking the very same mountain he stood upon. (Not sure if you can do this, but it would rock if you could!)

Gauntlets: Dark metal gauntlets. Nothing special unless you want to put some kind of faint aura of "force" around them.

Shield: This is a basic large shield. Have fun with this one, as I don't really have in mind anything specific.

Markings: Instead of the normal markings (random patterns of splotches) found on Goliaths, Kortauhk has dark lines of "lightning" running all over his skin. I would prefer a more "natural" lightning look rather than the stylized jagged lightning bolt symbol.

Thanks Fragsie! Can't wait to see how it looks!
