Great thread. I'd love to know where you're all finding these pictures so I can make an attempt to add to the conversation. My google-fu has always been terrible.

Which brings me to my (hopefully simple) request: I've been looking for a picture that would fit the character whose name I use as my screenname here. He's a bald, human wizard with a small goatee. Nothing I've found thus far has felt right to me, so I'm hoping the experts can help.

I began with the terrible google-fu method as well. As Daft mentioned, Deviant Art and other art sites get used a good bit. But for trying to find something to post yourself, trying to find something from those sites blindly can be a bit tough.

Whenever a new Magic the Gathering set comes out, I usually check out the sites for some of the artists. They produce a ridiculous amount of fantasy themed art that is appropriate for the thread.

My favorite method, is to find an image that someone else posted that I like. I then right click and "copy image location". I then try to navigate around to find the gallery that image is a part of, because in most cases, if there is one cool image on a site, there are more to be had as well.

Yay, I finally have a request to post here
For a possibly-someday-upcoming campaign, I would need a picture for my character, not too specific. He's a human male ex-soldier, something like 33 years old, rather muscular (Str 16), about six feet tall and masculine in general. He has a rugged face (looks like at least 40 years old), worn from stress and battle. Brown or black shaggy hair, obvious stubble.

If possible, he would be wearing a chainshirt suitable for desert conditions (perhaps some covering clothes or a hood?) and carrying a greatsword and/or longbow.

Thanks in advance, I'm sure someone has a suitable picture.

Hmm, nice, and meets most of the criteria but something about it just doesn't click. I guess some more info about the character in question might help with finding the right picture:

He's an ex-commander from the army (or guard), might change, technically a Bard/Warblade, who is known for doing basically everything by shouting (kinda like Dovahkiin I guess ). He uses bardic music by shouting, he casts by shouting (or whispering in a couple cases), he uses maneuvers by shouting, he shouts whenever he attacks. Well, he can also sing, make speeches and spin his sword in a fancy manner, but the most distinguished part is the shouting.

He was reserved for relatively simple battles, since he didn't really have the patience or proper mindset required to lead stealthy maneuvers, but was a tremendous fighter and commander. After some so-far-unspecified incident, he was kicked out. After some rough years of drinking and bar-brawling, he's decided to straighten up and look for a way to regain his fame.

So while those pictures of yours give me more of a Lawful Good vibe, this guy would be more Chaotic Good. Closer to a barbarian than a paladin in both looks and character.

Hey all,

I'm looking for a character portrait for my next character, a male lesser aasimar paladin/knight protector type.

Important things

Flowing silver or golden hair
No beard
Not around any horses - the character is afraid of them
Reasonable armor (No WoW type shoulderpads, for example)
Has a shield

Bonus points if he's actually in the act of protecting someone.

No shield and he isn't protecting anyone, but slaying demons is quite cool, isn't it?

Anyone has any pics of changelings or dvati? Yeah, I know changelings can look however they like, but it would be nice to have a pic for his/her natural form. I'd prefer females, but I won't mind males.

I am looking for more pictures similiar to these. Nothing specific, but anything that could be an inspiration for armor and clothing in a roughly bronze age-ish fantasy setting.

My google-fu is rather weak otherwise I would love to contribute to this thread.

I have a couple of requests, and I understand that general is better.

1) A scantily clad voluptuous redhead mage/sorceress. Preferably with darker red hair than lighter.

2) A buxom blonde rogue. Preferably with a tom-boyish style(pants rather than skirts etc) and shorter hair. Even better with it's a cleavagy skin-tight bodysuit with leather piece-mail over it.

Close, thank you!

I have a few already, but I want to see what others can find especially since my google fu is rather weak it seems.

Only 4 armed but in the MM3, P34, Arrow Demon. Sounds a bit like what you wait, maybe a tad more clothing needed (It is SO nice of all evil things to at least have a loin cloth )

Thank you for the attempts, they are greatly appreciated!

So far the closest I've found for the buxom blonde rogue is this.

NSFW?
Spoiler


Pretty much spot on except for a few details: wrong type of bodysuit, no "piece-mail" leather armor, modern setting and Russian theme.

As for the redheaded mage, I was able to find this.

NSFW?

As I am not entirely sure what either of those two are... here are some pictures I found of shape shifters and doppelgangers.

Hey, guys sorry to bother you again, but do any of you have the picture of a female shifter ranger?

She must be reasonably feminine, but not in a chainmail-bikini or similar outfit.

Thx in advance!
