Arts and CraftsThe place to talk about stick figure avatars, graphic design, fan art, or any application of the visual arts and creative writing--or just to show off your latest masterwork!
Core Physiology: Female, Short, Middling Build, Somewhere between a Mediterranean and middle eastern general appearance. She should be able to pass for male in the picture, so some level of androgyny is fine.
Equipment: Holding a lightweight partisan, wearing many layers of loose clothing, ideally looking something like high end linen. She is certainly wearing a mask over her lower face, and only hands and the upper face have exposed skin. Visual cues that suggest a nomadic life are also helpful. Note that there should be no magical equipment, and nothing particularly fancy, a more utilitarian look is preferred.
Color Scheme: Varying sand colors with a yellow sand dominant color and more red-white sand secondary color. Deeper browns and off whites are acceptable secondary colors, and even the blade of the partisan should be a somewhat whitish grey.
Shape Scheme (general shapes that should be evident in the clothing and physiology): Crescent Moons, Circles, Triangles. Long straight lines should be avoided where possible, with the notable exception of the spear and the partisan.
Personality (Should show in body language): Inquisitiveness, confidence, and the appearance of coldness to others should all be somewhat apparent.
I thank you in advance for doing this; you did great work on everything seen in the thread so far.

Could you perhaps draw a non-OOTSified version of the character below? He is a hornhead saurial soulknife, wearing breastplate armor. He has three claw-shaped scars on his frill. Your artwork is really amazing.
so is he like naked other than the breastplate? and a soulknife is like a psychic blade of energy or something right?
He has a cruel, vengeful expression on his face and wears tattered priest robes of Pelor (sun god, you probably know that already) that are bearely recognizable.
Wait, I know who Pelor is... but what is this sun thing? Can you describe it to me in detail, please.
Post a description of your character (including notable gear, demeanor, maybe an actor/actress that resembles them) and I will draw them. Bye.
Oh, the reason I'm doing this is to build up my portfolio.
That is excellent work, bravo!!! I suspect you're getting swamped with requests too! Regardless, here's my latest character (and I am having a blast with him!)
Bern Thistlebush
Spoiler
Male Halfling Sorcerer of the Draconic Bloodline (Brass).
Bern is a tall halfling with bronzish-tan skin. His hair is a reddish-brown and his eyes are emerald green. His smile is bright and warming and most say Bern is quite handsome (CHA 20) though his canine teeth are slightly elongated as his draconic heritage is slowly manifesting itself.
He wears a fine black robe with green and brown trim (think celtic knots) with a hood that's up as often as it's down. The cloak's clasp is dark metal in the shape of two dragon talon's framing the sun (almost a triangle in shape). His tunic is black and upon closer inspection is revealed to be padded armor. It's finely crafted and almost silky. His black silk breeches fall just below his knees and vanish into his boots. Unlike most of his kin, Bern reluctantly wears knee high dark brown leather boots (Boots of Elvenkind)
On his wrists he wears brown leather bracers.
His belt is wide with a golden buckle, fashioned in the shape of a Dragon. He has two belt pouches, one on each side of his hips. Attached to right hip hands a finely crafted mace, though it's never seen use. He is usually never far from a flagon of ale or even a plate of scones.
Can I post another request that may or may not interest you? >.>. I just thought of another character. Of course, if you do one of mine I don't expect you to do both at all. x_x.
Animus Mokita:
Spoiler
An Elan psion.
Elan Description:
Spoiler
Elans are not born; they are made. Living humans are selected from a pool of applicants and screened by a special élan council. Those who pass muster undergo a secret psionic process in one of several hidden élan enclaves, where they abandon their humanity for a new, psionically energized existence. Thus, elans do not reproduce biologically, but rather psionically, through a mysterious psionic ritual known only to elans. Even then, their “children” are usually already fully formed adult humans. Nonhuman elans are never created and it could be that the ritual simply doesn’t work for any creatures but those who were originally human.
When those who are still human seek the transformation to elans, they must petition existing elans for the privilege of going through the process. Elans are secret lot in this regard, and do not publicly reveal their enclaves or places of making; the elans select new aspirants and turn away those they feel are unsuited for life as an élan. Newly created elans retain the basic memories and personalities of their previous human lives, but lose all their previous class levels, skills and other characteristics; a newly created élan is a 1st-level character, free to reinvent himself as a member of his new race.
So Elan's are essentially human but 'weird'. The Elan's preferred looks at the time were red hair and pale skin so if you had those physical attributes, you had an easier time petitioning to become an Elan. So character description:
Animus is an average sized male with dark red hair (to the point of it almost looks dark brown with red tints in the right light) and light green eyes. He has pale skin. A defining feature of his face is that he keeps a third eye floating in front of his forehead. It's basically a octagonal gem of any color that gives off a faint glow. He wears baggy black clothing with one diagonally cut sleeve that hangs past the back of his right hands (to around the tip of his fingers) but cut up to his wrist. The shirt has a diagonal cut down the middle from his right shoulder (where the sleeve is) to just above his hip. Under that shirt, he wears a tight black undershirt (think underarmor I suppose) that covers his skin and his left arm. His wears a simple bracelet on his left hand. For pants, think Aladdin baggy but black and with straps hanging on the sides and his shoes are simple leather.
He carries a short sword as his sole weapon that he keeps slung across his back.
His demeanor: He's always sour looking and when he smiles it's more of a sinister grin. He doesn't have any positive or negative outlooks in life and carries himself casually. He's not rigid but he's not lanky either.
If I didn't mention something, go crazy. If you feel like changing something go crazy too.
For facial features think Cillian Murphy with a slightly angrier look:
so is he like naked other than the breastplate? and a soulknife is like a psychic blade of energy or something right?
Yes, he's naked besides the breastplate. And you are correct about the soulknife basically using a psychic blade. He's best described as a lightsaber-wielding dinosaur man.

Okay, well in that case can you describe his dino-dong in detail?
You won't have to worry about that. It is believed that, like most reptiles, dinosaurs had their sexual organs retracted and stored inside the body when they weren't actually in the middle of intercourse. So you wouldn't have to draw that (besides, its against forum rules, anyway).
Wearing: Plain leather armor
Wielding: A broadsword and a shortsword with blue hilts
Height: 5'10''
Other Stuff: Slim, likes the color blue, has shoulder length layered hair in a light brown. Has cat ears. She smirks a lot. I can't really think of anyone who looks like her though.

Can I give him a loin cloth or something? Going bottomless just reminds me of Disney characters...
Aaron Argentine: Ranger/Druid
Notable gear would probably be a Displacer Pelt Cloak and Displacer Hide Armor. Otherwise he'd just be wearing what's depicted in my crappy sketch...along with a bow, perhaps.
Edit: Also, his hair is naturally silver and it has the effect of making him look older. He's twenty years of age.

Nope. The book makes no specification to either male or female, even for such things as the feat called Anatomically Over-Endowed, and it even has a few pictures of men in sections where it doesn't mention them

Alright, I'm in. I've got two characters, and you can do whichever you'd prefer, or both. First up is my character from the best game I'm in right now, Antal Nirum, a Halfling Factotum. His sheet is here, but I'm also going to provide a condensed version of the important info:
Spoiler
General Description: Small in stature like any halfling, Antal has the usual curly brown hair, but isn't nearly as pudgy as many halflings. In fact, he's quite agile and in excellent shape, he's even stronger than a fair amount of humans.
Visible clothes/equipment: He wears baggy clothes, the better to hide something he's swiped, and they are dimly colorful (if that makes sense). His chain shirt could very well be visible though he wears it under most of his clothes. He also has on him a short sword, a kukri, and a smallish sack, which he keeps tied to his waist.
And number two is one of my favorite character concepts, although he never went anywhere. Actually, he's my avatar right now. He's a Changeling Dread Necromancer created for an assassin game. He wasn't really going to keep many undead around, focusing instead on the damaging abilities of necromancy, particularly the ability to use diseases to kill people. I don't have much of a description, except that when he is himself (as opposed to when disguised), he is unashamed of his changeling form, and favors dark gray and black clothes. In my avvie he has a skull on his shirt. He wasn't really one for weapons.

If you're willing and don't mind, I'd love to have one of my old (and, if I'm being entirely honest, complete and utter favourite) characters drawn. I know others have said it, but this is some of the best art I've seen and I can't resist getting in on this.
Ok, Alexandra McKenna.
She was a true neutral human Rogue / Sorceror. She's really rather tiny and delicately built (strength was her dump stat...), complexion and colouring is Caucasian. Hair's white, shoulder length, style varies on what she's doing but is always practical (short ponytail / worn loose). Her eyes are blue. She is, of course, quite pretty (whose female DnD character isn't ?) but she takes care to be quite understated about it. Her personaility is... smiley, quite happy in her undersized way.
Clothing usually consists of a black, just above the knee length dress slit fairly high up at the sides over some light, white in colour light body armour (thin chainmail and leather) and some reasonably practical black boots that have some attention given to femininity and style (a bit of heel but not much, mid calf height and tight to the calf).
The all important equipment, she keeps the spellcasting stuff out of sight, of course. Her visible weapons were a magic shortsword that, in keeping with the character, would be as workman looking as possible but extremely high build quality, a magic dagger, following the same principles, and a shortbow.
Thank you again for opening this up, if you have any questions, please PM me.
