Hello all.

I am looking for a picture to use as a character portrait to give other players an idea of what my character looks like. I'm wanting a picture of an elf (or human if the perfect picture is human) who is a mage in a business suit. A classic style almost Men In Black type suit, with some sort of visible arcane paraphernalia such as an amulet, ring, or wand.

I have mainly third edition books but another player has tons of books from fourth as well. I have been looking through my books and can't seem to find a pic that fits the bill. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I can draw in a reasonably acceptable manner and could give this one a shot- it sounds like fun. Might take me a couple days, since there's some other things going on.

Wow, that would be great. If you end up doing it, please let me know.

By the way, if you end up not feeling like it please just abandon. I don't want you to feel obligated.

Do you think we could turn this into a request thread for the bored artists on DS? I have a french merc I'm building and writing backstory and I'ld love to have a proper picture for him

If you can live with the comic look, you could use http://www.heromachine.com/. Looks like this:

There was one in the http://forums.dumpshock.com/index.php?showforum=3 part of Dumpshock, but Squinky appears to be distracted by shiny things right now.

Thanks. This worked out ok. It is far from perfect, but is easily the best I've found so far.

If I can ever figure out how to get my scanner to work properly I'll post more pics on my DeviantArt account, found in my link.

At the risk of being a necro-posting jerkface, another response.

So, wow. Lot busier in the last couple of days than I thought. But now I'm free for a while, and can finally get around to tackling this thing. Any other details you wanted to mention, or would you rather be surprised?
