The NEW EN World FREE Character Portrait Request Thread

Plane Sailing said:
Heh, I thought I *was* trim :)

I've edited my post to make it shorter (and kept the original longer ones in a small quote for reference in case I want the description again!)

Cheers

Nice trimming job, PS. Very concise...

And I guess I should have specificed that my suggestion was that, a suggestion. The rule is to try and kkep it concise but it's not like I can stop you if you want to post more. It's just that on previous threads, I've noticed that artists don't want to read a novella about a character in order to get a feeling for how the character looks.

So Matthan, you can disagree with me if you like. It was just FYI. (And, IMO, your short descriptions are almost too short.) No biggie, after all this is FREE character portrait request thread!

Cheers!

Ok, let me try this again for you. I'll try and edit out any superflous material. I personally feel this makes for painful reading (of course the above may be painful as well), but how about this?

Name: Tobias Danior
Race: Human
Age: 17
Gender: Male

Appearance: He stands at 5’10 with a lean body. His head is topped by closely cropped black hair. He has a slightly pointed nose, a wry grin, and green eyes. His skin is a deep tan.

His clothing is simple. He favors earth tones in his clothes, nothing terribly bright, but practical. Simple brown boots that lace up slightly over his ankles. Plain brown pants that are held up by a worn leather cord. Strapped to the cord is a beat-up sheath that holds a rather plain rapier. A slightly lighter brown tunic with sleeves that hang loosely over his wrists.

Picture: Tobias is a storyteller that uses magic to create illusions to illustrate his stories. I would love to see him sitting down with a smile on his face and his hands spread or cupped with a floating image between them as if he was telling a tale or just practicing. The magic is based around manipulating light so any light effects that you would want to add would be interesting.

and

Name: Garren Renier
Race: Human, but has been magically altered
Age: 20
Gender: Male

Appearance: Garren is 6’10 feet (around 2.1 meters) and for all intents and purposes appears as a seamless suit of armor. His head looks like a helm with a long narrow, black void for his eyes and a square indentation with four holes where his mouth would be. His body as a whole has the defining look of muscles without the real detail of skin. His form appears masculine in build, but has no distinctly male parts. His feet do not have individual digits, but appear as a solid boot. He has taken to wearing a rather large, gray wool cloak. While it doesn’t completely hide his appearance, it does give enough cover to allow the illusion of a knight in armor. He wears his sword and kite shield strapped on his back over the cloak.

I will skip the background as it isn't vital. Both characters can be found at www.quentriandal.com if you would like more info.

Picture: This was an attempt to create a different take on the knight and shining armor stereotype. Feel free to touch up the details slightly (give the helm your own feel, tatter the cloak,). The key here is that he shouldn't be ornate or heavily detailed. A hybrid type challenge for the artists I suppose. The key features are the void strip for his eyes and the indentation (I'm not married to a straight square there if you can add something dynamic to it without becoming to ornate) with four holes.
 


Torc Thunderaxe
Barbarian - 8 / Fighter - 2 (working torwards Frenzied Beserker PrC)
6'7" 255# Blue eyes Blonde hair

Looks a lot like Arnie did in Conan. Torc is very much a beastmaster type barbarian. Loves to rage into battle with no thought to himself. Only to get the first hit in as to give a better chance for his comrades to be victorious.

Torc possessions include a Suit of Celestial Armor, Adamantine Large Shield with a Star Ruby set in the middle and 14 Tiger-eye Tourquise radiating from the center. over his armor Torc wears a Great Coat made from a Dire Lion's pelt. The mane is drapped across the shoulders with 6 Bloodstones as the buttons (think Ghetto-fabulous). He wears a necklace with 2 White Dragon cannies hanging from it. Torc weapons include a Huge Frost Great Axe where the blades look like the are made from living ice. Torc final possession is a Furious Great Axe made from Adamantine w. mithral enlays of Dwarven runes.

Later in Torc level progression he will acquire a Dire Bear as an Animal Companion, so if you want to draw that in.


Thanks in advance
Rok
