I just started playing in an Arcana Unearthed game, and would love to have a pic of my magister:
Keleran Steed - Human Magister
Keleran stands about 5'8" and weighs only 140 lbs. Slender of build, and pale from spending most of his time in the Library of Se-Heton (an academy of magic), Keleran is very youthful looking. He is 25 years old, yet could easily pass as a teenager of 15 years. He has short blond hair and pale green eyes, almost gray. When he was a child, he suffered a terrible injury from a warhammer (his father was a wealthy politician who drew the ire of some people who decided he and his entire family were better off dead), that smashed his left leg. He now wears a metal brace on his left leg, and relies heavily on a thin (yet magically strengthed) staff topped with a silver metal band. As Keleran has gotten older, he has had to leave the capital city of De-Shamod and has moved about the Diamond Throne with various caravans. His once bright red magister's robes as a result are somewhat shabby from road-wear, and are cut to be less heavy and burdensome than his contemporaries in the city.

Two more characters into the fray...
Well, if I may add two of my characters to the current pool. }
They're both in the 'out of the ordinary' race category, (though not in the 'unique' race category) and while both are full of youthful exuberence, it's just a coincidence of starting campaigns, I swear! }
Thanking allllllll the artists here, for all the art they post in the galleries and on the boards!
-----
Standing at just under 7 feet in height, Timmoth is a young and powerfully built centaur. His horse-like lower torso is covered in a chestnut-coloured coat of thin fur, a colour matched by his long hair atop his human torso, tied behind his head in a long ponytail. A certain grace and ease belies his huge form. He carries with am unmistakable air of youth, out to see the world, though he has also learned to comport himself quite well when the situation merits.
Timmoth's armaments are a sight to behold, each more finely crafted than one might expect for a wanderer or a centaur. His bow, large for even a beast of his size, is built from powerful strips of darkwood, laminated together with expert care. Laden with elvish script, there is no mistaking its origin. Similarly, his centaur-sized halberd is adorned with dwarvish runes, the mighty axe-head securely fixed to a haft banded with metal for reinforcement. The base of halberd bears a flared metal point, as though two large spear-heads had been crossed together.
The chain ‘shirt’ armour worn by Timmoth is also of fine quality, though this time of human hands. Crafted by the famous fine leathersmiths and metal workers of Khallas, the armour bridges well the transition from torso to horse torso, removing little of the centaur's natural flexibility there. The alloy armour is also snug enough that Timmoth wears a surcoat over both his halves, affording better protection from the elements as well as allowing him to better blend into the natural surroundings.
Moving accross the land, Timmoth ensures he is well equipped. He carries two often laden saddle bags and pouches across his equine back, with a a waterskin and quivers next to each. When not employing it in combat, his halberd rests alongside the top of his right saddlebag. Across his back he carries another quiver and his bow, and a dagger rests sheathed in the strap across his chest.
(bonus points for knowing where I stole the name from years ago
)
And the second
Before you stands Thelil. A young adult of only 114 years of age, he still carries with him a certain spring of youthful excitement that has not yet been extinguished. For an elf, he stands tall and built at 5 foot 2 inches, with the customary long hair and dark green eyes. What first draws your eyes, however, is the large pair of wings, the delicate white limbs springing
from his shoulder blades. His wings a recent development for him, and having never spent any time with winged creatures, Thelil’s wings at rest are more perpendicular (straight back) to his back then one might expect.
Thelil wears a green hooded surcoat over leather armour (both modified for his winged nature). Using a strapping system that wraps around his shoulders as well as down the centreline between his wings, a large sack rests under his wingroots (in the small between his back and wing edges). A sturdy quiver attached along its bottom side, ringed with metal and possessing several attachment points, augments this sack. A composite short bow and heavy mace are often attached to the quiver, along with a full complement of arrows.
Carried with care, Thelil’s double sword includes two wooden sheaths that securely enclose each blade, giving the sword the guise of a thickened staff. The entire sword ensemble is very carefully crafted, with polished hardwood sheaths, beauty-through-function handguards and a carved wooden handgrip. A small engraving of ancient text adorns one of the sheaths, while braided cords hang from each end of the grip. When drawn, the sheaths are stored in a compartment just rightly made for them in the quiver.
(See the sword at this link)
Thelil tends to comport himself in a stately, or noble-like manner. In many respects, he is also knightly in his aims, helping those in need and who cannot defend themselves. Thelil remains calm and focused through most situations, and rarely loosing his cool in confrontations. His comportment is likely born partially a reaction to his treatment during his rough time amongst the humans, as a poor ‘child’; he is acting 'nobly' in the face of other’s distain, acting 'better' than them, and genuine wish to help out others in need. His martial training has also given him a feel for focused and calm action, such that though he may take much patiently, when he decides to act, the act is swift and decisive. His speech follows his actions, and is usually careful and proper. Whenever possible, he will be sure to dress in fine clothing, though certainly not to the excess of the aristocrats.
(admittedly, a bit of a mish-mash, taking a character from this GM's earlier attempt at this campaign (that lasted a whole session) and plugging in something from another much much earlier character once it became available in 3.0)
Thanks a tonne,
Kannik

Wow. Some of the art here is amazing - I wish I knew how to draw more than just stick figures. In any case, I also have a humble request:
Borik Bloodwatcher
Half-Orc Barbarian3/Ranger 2
Borik is 18 years old (equivalent to early 20s in a human),about 6 feet tall, around 200 pounds, and muscular (18 Strength), though not in an Arnold Schwarzenegger kind of way...more like Russell Crowe in Gladiator. He's not ugly, for a half-orc, but he's not necessarily attractive, either (Charisma 9). He has long hair, pulled back tightly in a braid or tail of some sort, and he has no other visible facial or body hair. He had a red lightning-bolt tattoo on the left side of his face that goes over his left eye, and other tattoos as well...possibly celtic, something with a stag motif as that is his totem. He is wearing a well-worn chain mail shirt, going for function over form,wears a shoulder-guard on his right shoulder, durable pants, and nice traveling boots with a fur lining(Boots of the Winterlands). He also wears an amulet, but any non-evil design works there. He has two weapons, a short bow and an orc double axe, both of which can be strapped to his back when he needs to be mobile. Other than those, he travels light, with only a sturdy belt pouch. His hands are rough, and his fingernails are filed almost into claws. While he is very strong, he also moves fairly gracefully(Dexterity 14) - he spends much of his non-adventuring time as a hunter and tracker, and has been toughened up by long, solitary exposure to freezing winds and quiet forests (Constitution 17). He is a cunning half-orc, for one of his profession (Wisdom 13), and enjoys making others think he is less intelligent than he really is (Intelligence 12). I think what I envision is having some celtic and Native American imagery, turning Borik into the 'noble savage', but more practical than noble. Sorry if this is confusing to anyone.
If anyone knows of a place where I can actually commission a portrait like this (for payment), please, let me know - and then I won't clog up the busy line of folks here.

Being the newest to post, I guess, puts me last in line. However, if any of the WONDERFUL artists who swing through this thread on a regular basis happen to find themselves inspired by my character and having a little free time on their hands, I would love to see him rendered.
N'yana Qunat'val
He is a Human, over six foot but not imposing, lean but not skinny. Dark hair that is shaved to the head at the beginning of each adventure, but grows quickly, getting spiky & fuzzy. (His beard functions the same way.) Gaunt face.
He wears no armor. His clothes are functional for travelling yet have an urban, foreign flair. He is the Forgotten Realms equivalent of a Seattle choir boy, who went to LA to experience the sins of the flesh (I mean, become worldly) and then ended up dumped off in the Midwest without a plan and with too much time on his hands. (ie. Silverymoon to the Dalelands, via Waterdeep.) Probably too much "crazy youthful style" for the Dalelands, though, incorporated into his wardrobe. No tattoos, though piercings and other ornamentation would be acceptable.
He is on the path to Mystic Theurge (Wiz 1, Cleric of Mystra 2) and carries a mystical holy aura within him. He has been divinely touched by The Lady and she wants to make sure the proper people (wizards, other Mystran clerics) can see this in him. His only possesions are a side-slung pack, and a quarterstaff. He has Eschew Materials, so not a lot of pouches or the like.
N'yana rarely comes to taut, full attention, preferring to be relaxed and slouched. He would almost be considered lazy. (I can almost see him slouched sideways in a chair, legs over one of the arms, dirty and fuzzy from adventuring, spending his treasure, pack slung over the knob on the top of the chair, Qstaff leaning at the ready, lazily trying to cast Charm Person on the cute waitress.)
Well, thats him. I rolled RIDICULOUS stats for him, so hopefully he will be around for awhile. Thanks in advance if any of you gifted artists decide to take a stab at him.
