OT: I need a good site with pics to use on character sheets

Devall2000 · Feb 10, 2004

Does anyone know of any good websites that have cool pictures to use on character sheets? I always like to associate a picture with a character.

thanks,
Jamie

What sort of style are you looking for? Are there any that you would object to (i.e. anime, cartoony)?

Devall2000 · Feb 10, 2004

Yes, I would object to anime and cartoony. I want it to be realistic looking medival artwork.

thanks,
Jamie

I've found a few good sites, through years of digging.

Epilogue is a wonderful collection of artwork, generally very high quality. I know I've seen a lot of work there gracing the covers of various d20 books.

Elwood probably the site you've heard of, and, yeah, it does have a lot of so-so work. But it's also got a lot of really good stuff, s'long as you're willing to dig.

Illuminator's Guild has a number of nice pieces, too - of all sorts of styles. Most of the artists here are "for sale," as it were - I'm currently comissioning a set of pieces from one.

It's a little bit cartoony, but HeroMachine is excellent for full-body shots.

I usually just find an actor or actress image gallery site with a good clean headshot, without any grossly anachronistic (sunglasses, cell phones, etc) elements in it, resize it in a graphics program, and incorporate that.

Neverwinter Vault, they have alot of good stuff in there though mixed with some not-so-good. Like the bargain bin you kinda have to dig around a little bit but it's worth it.
