BOZ said:what this guy said.
wow, so much activity today.
Anything really, though I prefer things that are not readilt available. There are many sources where someone can get a pic of an elf or scorpion that can be slightly manipulated to suit their needs, but some things are just unique.
That's the stuff that moves me the most

Ooh! Ooh! I've got one! I've got one!
Ok, the creature is called a Deornith; it's basically a 'plague spirit'...
In the most basic of terms, the Deornith is a super-dense swarm of black, supernatural, flesh-eating flies which take a vaguely humanoid form, surrounded by a cloud of the same flies, but not nearly as dense. It doesn't have any visible eyes, nor even any vestiges of a 'face' on its head, and it doesn't have anything as 'detailed' as fingers or toes at the ends of its four 'limbs'.
I think that describes it pretty well.

ml3, you really don't need to apologize to anyone; you are doing everyone here an incredible favor just by considering their requests. Most people neither have the money nor the desire to hunt for an artist and comission a piece. I'm just glad that so many people are getting their heart's desire.
On another point, I particularly enjoy the pictures that can be used by other people in their campaigns. I also like the picture of the red-eyed "It" from Adams Family.
Of course, I can't help but beg for a picture to call my own. I'll give a description, and hopefully it will spark your imagination:
The Fane i.e. the bane of all wizards, everywhere
A tall, gaunt, humanoid shaped creature dressed in a form-fitting black robe made of tattered shadow-stuff, and with a small cowl. Being somewhat immaterial, wind does not seem to affect these creatures in the slightest. They have no facial features, except for slight indentations where eyes should be. Essentially, they are a cross between the Gloom from the Epic Handbook and a Dementor (harry potter).
A Fane is almost always accompanied by 1-4 Thralls, ex-Wizards who have been enslaved by the Fane. The thralls wear tattered clothes (usually robes since they were once wizards) and appear almost feral and undead (having been drained of most of their intelligence, they are little more than animals). Their eyes are empty sockes and a viscous black fluid oozes out of their eye-holes, nose, and mouth. The thralls are used as "blood hounds", sensing the presence of magic and those capable of using magic, and leading the Fane to its next victim. Thus, the thralls are often hunched as if sniffing for the scent of magic. The Fane keeps control over the Thralls using a black shadow-stuff leash around each Thralls neck, traveling to the Fane's hand.
If you decide to draw this creature, feel free to embelish as you desire.
Keep up the good work!

Arg, I can't help it, I've gotta post another 2 requests!
The Wicker Man
A foul construct/undead in the shape of a wicker man (humanoid shaped and constructed of thousands of wood reeds) standing 20' tall. Imprisoned within the torso of the Wicker Man is a fey creature (usually something like a dryad). A fire is set in the Wicker Man, burning the fey to death, yet through powerful necromantic magic, both the Wicker Man and the fey remain intact. The result: An undead fey, screaming in agony as it burns for all eternity...fire coursing through the Wicker Man, threatning to set fire to the woodlands the fey once held so dear.
It's an evil undead thingy. Might strike some fear into the hearts of rangers, druids, or elves. It's powerful fists can cause creatures to catch on fire, and the fey can utter a hellish scream creating a fear affect.
Bahram, Servant of Bahamut
A dragon-kin (draconian looking creature) angel, and offspring of Bahamut and Jazirian (the Coatl goddess). Important info: 10-12 ft. tall, platinum scales, dragon-like head, humanoid body, dragon-like legs, clawed hands - basically an anthropomorphic version of Bahamut. Details: large feathered wings (coloration like a Coatl), feathers at the tip of his tail (also like a coatl or a lillend), wears platinum armor (maybe roman style?), has a powerful 2-handed holy avenger, radiates an empyreal, holy light from his body. The trick to this "monster" is making a generally scary creature look like a powerful angel, the kind of creature that would scare that **** out of devils and demons alike.

ml3, might I ask you to possibly do a character sketch for me? If you could do Thaddeus for me, I'd be ever so pleased!

Nice drawing of the gnome/halfling/kathaer thing, but...
My first impression when seeing this picture was "kid in a Halloween costume."
EDIT: The above picture has been modified, so my comment is no longer on target.
