Tremble in fear, for no other cheesecake will be able to match what I am about to present to all of you...

Spoiler


Two fun facts...

In that last picture, those aren't just scribbles passing themselves off as runes, there's an actual Atlantean langauge and script and the letters down her front mean 'Lost'. I thought it was cool that the makers of the movie made an entire language just for a movie.

Second, I'm currently learning an entirely new rule-set (Star Wars Saga Edition) strictly so I can run a cross-over setting type game where the players are trying to stop the Sith Princesses from conquering the world.

Do I get bonus points for squeezing functional armor into the same series that features massive cheesecake? I think I should...Nor can I properly express my love of that first picture both for pert bottoms and oozing villainy/bad-assery.

I've got a little request that is not particularly easy. I need a modern day male teenager using shadow powers of some kind. Controlling shadows, controlling darkness, something like that. His dress could be from anytime within the last 50 years, but sooner would be better.


For a tax have some death.

Anyway, you should quote Fax for that pic, not I. He found it.

I'm not sure, bikini monk sounds hilarious.

Then again, kimono monk also sounds hilarious.

Thinking over it, I like the idea of her as a Wizard, or a Sorcerer could also be fun (Wizard because then the cheerful, slightly energetic girl is also likely the smartest in the group).

And I suppose having a bikini as her outfit would be the logical conclusion to some of the ridiculous armor you get sometimes, wouldn't it.

EDIT: I am curious about who the person in the image actually is, though.

Nevermind, found it.

That's the sign of his fiendish heritage instead of horns and a tail.
I always like alternative planetouched signs I feel like I'd have better luck if I could remember what "covered in scars" reminds me of, though...

The first image doesn't work, and 'open in new tab' just sends me to the home page of creative uncut.

I get the impression that my character from the picture you first posted is going to be radically different from Seena's actual character. I'm making her an Abjurationist Wizard, and from the picture you just posted that works, Seena looks more like a Swashbuckler than anything else.

I have a request for a powerful human male spellcaster. Not too old, though. Has ornate clothing, but not too stylized. Also, nothing too worn and gritty.

EDIT: And a staff is preferable. If he has a book, that would be real nice.

Request: a muscular, handsome, male troll, or at least something that can pass up as a troll (more specifically a war troll with half of his blood coming from a beautiful devil parent, which makes him beautiful by proxy).

This guy is nice, if you don't mind a small woman with rat ears and a tail on his shoulder.

Only orc I have, and I only kept him for his body (the face is found wanting, sadly).

If "orcish" (or "devilish") also qualifies, I have a couple of handsome orcs and devils I could post. Gimme a few moments.

EDIT: Here they are.

Too human?

I prefer them on the youthful side. Rank doesn't matter. For weapons, pistols, muskets, and cutlasses. To narrow it down, I'm mostly interested in an 18th century tech level. Also, I'm interested in female sailors or soldiers from this era as well.

Some of the posted pictures are really good, but too many to call them out individually.

I need some Exalted inspired pictures. Doesn't matter if they're male or female but they shouldn't be all that animesque. Some thing from Fire Emblem would be as animesque as I'd like for this. I need a Night, Zenith and, Malefactor Caste and a Wood Aspect.

The idea is that this guy would be handsome, if his skin didn't look like it'd gone through a wind tunnel full of razor-blades and broken glass. As Blood of Fiends describes shackleborn, "Shackleborn are often born with their skin already mutilated, a garish embroidery of white and purple scars covering their flesh from head to toe." Basically it's like every inch of his body is scarred, to the point where he couldn't possibly have gotten them from injuries, because that many cuts would have easily killed him.
