Enworld Free Portrait or Art Request Thread

Would it be cheating to repost request from the other thread here? If so, ignore this post and move along.

If not, with 20 pages of requests in the other thread its hard not to feel as if my requests got overlooked (the alternative is that no one is interested *sniff*) .

So here are the requests I's like to see done up:

And these are all for Arcana Evolved, too.

First is Arcas the Slayer...

Aside from being a bit tall and thin, from a distance, it would be hard to distinguish Arcas from a human. It wears its hood up most of the time, because it has learned its form can be unsettling to others. Its cloak is simple, made of brown tanned leather, with a thin gilt edging. Beneath its cloak it wears comfortable breeches, but prefers to walk barefoot. It wears a blue tunic that has a complex series of runes embroidered into the front. Writhing between the runes are embroidered dragons. On its arms are a pair of bracers made from the skin of a dragon, red with some white scales. It carries a staff, the mark of a magister. The staff is made of the tail bones of a dragon, and the top is ringed with teeth from a dragon. It keeps gloves on its too long fingers.

When it takes its hood down, the face is nothing short of reptilian. Due to its evolution, Arcas' face is longer and more narrow than a typical mojh, with a crest rising up from the tip of its nose and back over behind its head. A matching set of crests meets the main one between its brows and curves around the side of the head to meet again in the back. Its scales are a drab olive green, but if you were to see its arms or legs, you would see stripes of a reddish brown.

Next is Padaras the Hunter:

Padaras is tall for a Sibbecai, and her fur is a darker shade than normal. One ear is missing its tip from an earlier battle. She moves with the easy grace of one who spent a lifetime in battle. Her arms and face bear a tangled mass of scares. She doesnt look unnattractive because of them, but they are marks of a very rough life.

She carries a sword much different from others of her kind, a greatsword taken from the body of a champion she defeated years ago. Her helm and mail are also scavenged from other conquests.

Her primary weapon, however is Bloodharp, a longbow made of alternating layers of red wood and black wood, with ivory tips and grip. Various runes are etched in the ivory in gold leaf.

Her eyes are always in motion, quick to find the best place to use her sword, and she carries herself as a truly civilized person would, not with her tongue hanging out like a mangy dog.

And Finally, Calmenn of the Free Cities:

Calmen, though of average build, carries himself as if he were taller. His clothes are loose-fitting, allowing great freedom of movement. His shirt seems to shift in color, sometimes showing hints of yellows, then greens and even blues. None of the colors are bright, but when a breeze catches him, it almost looks as if water were rippling across his body. He wears pants made of a tougher material, dyed a deep blue. He carries no weapon, only a bag on each hip, one larger than the other. He wears a cloak as wel, and it too seems to float and shimmer in a current that only seems to affect him.
He has no marks on his face, but crawling over his shoulder and partway up his neck (one can only see the top of it normally) is a tattoo. It seems to be some sort of runic design, but if you could see it in total, and spend time looking it over, you might notice that it looks like it was once another design and has been changed.
His hair is long, kept in a thick braid that is normally looped over his shoulder and hangs halfway down his chest. It has a variety of beads woven into it, mostly of shell, though there are a few scales here and there from one or more creatures of the deep.

Arcas is my current character, and Padaras recently died in battle. Thanx in advance for anyone who makes the attempt at any one of these three.

(Another possibility would be a portrait with all three in it. I kinda like that idea too...)

This one is not Arcana Evolved, just Core:

Bulvai Velm, Son of Danwe, Blood of Baern Stonehand.

He's a Mountain Dwarf from deep under the Crystalmist mountains (in Greyhawk), and a barbarian.

16 Str, 16 Dex, 18 Con, 13 Int, 14 Wis, and 10 Cha.

He carries an ornate(ish) handmade warhammer decorated with clan symbols and a spiked shield (also hand made). Currently wearing a chain shirt. A common theme among his accoutrements is the clan symbol of Bearn Stonehand, a great warrior who defended the clan hearths from an invasion from the undermountain some two hundred years ago. A warrior, that Bulvai identifies with (and a great uncle of his).

He keeps all of his hair long, dark red, with the majority of it in a ponytail that he often keeps over his shoulder. He has four braids, two in his beard, and one at each of his temples. The two braids at his temples are bound back behind his head. Woven into all of this are a large variety of hand-carved beads.

(If you hadn't guessed, he takes his crafting seriously.)

He's the eldest son of the previous dwarven Thain. However, when his father died, he was on an expedition further south, scouting out new mining territory. His next youngest brother took over. Bulvai does not yet want to lead his clan, so is currently content to let his brother rule things. One day, however, he plans to return and reclaim his rightful place, just not now. The conflict in the south has drawn his interest, and he wants to see what he can do.

He is a jolly sort, prone to laughter (in that crude dwarven style). He also tends to laugh while in his rage. The louder his laugh, the more butt he's kicking.
