Title: Post Your Character Portrait
Post by: Adhira on October 19, 2014, 12:06:41 PM
With original submissions still unavailable we are going to allow players to post their character portraits in this gdb thread.

The thread is for the artwork that players create or have commissioned, the kind of artwork we'd normally put on the website but are currently unable to.  (Note, this is not the place to put RL pictures of people who look like your character concept etc).

To help keep things streamlined and on track please keep the following rules online:

- Post character portraits for your own characters only
- Do not post character portraits of any PC that is still alive in game
- Do not post character portraits for any PC that was in game within the last year

Rules for this forum must be followed in any discussion of these character portraits.

Additional expectations and rules for this subforum:

•  Discussion should be centered around the submission.  This can cover the events of the submission itself and discussion of that character (most submissions are about specific characters and specific events).
•  While discussing the plot or characters of the submission is fine, make sure that your post revolves around the scene or the character(s)--not your character or stuff that happened that is vaguely related to it.  In general, the more that the discussion deviates from the specific submission, the less likely it should be there.
•  If you desire to specifically discuss your own character's exploits, we encourage you to work on your own original submission.  Once the tool is ready we will let you know!
•  No discussion of a PC that is (or may be) alive, period.
•  If the PC has passed within the past year, it still may not be discussed, period.
•  Off-limits topics:

◦Ongoing plots.
◦Magick system, magickal plots, or mechanics thereof that are not in the public documentation or in the public website.
◦Code mechanics.

Will this thread / submissions call remain open indefinitely? I have a portrait I'd like to submit that isn't a year old yet.

Thanks!
Title: Re: Post Your Character Portrait
Post by: Adhira on October 19, 2014, 12:22:35 PM
The intention is to have this thread open until we have a viable way to receive and post original submissions on the website. Of course if everyone ignores the rules, flames, or otherwise turns this thread into the thread of doom - no promises.

Well! Uh ... bit old but I don't really have anything I'm happy about with subsequent characters yet so ...  :) I'll start you off with some sketchy colored pencil.

Byn Trooper Andra, the lithe, sharp-clawed female. I later heard her approval slipped through and she should have been a special app, but I was quite content with aesthetically mutated. She got a chronic Tuluk player like me into the Byn, which was an experience I appreciate. Was in the Northern unit of the time, and one or two more since, when I returned to her after wandering off from here for a while. *squints at patch* ... Nope can't tell which it is here.

I work on my character's portrait while they're alive, and they rarely end up finished.  You can kind of tell which were the products of a few months, and which I had over a year to work on.  I present to you all:

Sherris Keshmar, Winrothol Cavalier:

Koatl "Spark" the Sun Runner:

The eye on the Winrothol one creep me out, Valeria.  It's something of an "I know what you did and I am not afraid of you.  I might just decide to do something about it." sort of look.

I also like the templar one.  He looks kinda like Ian McShane.

Here's a sketch of Yish from a while ago in ball point, where a fairly high class party turned into a boxing tournament in Allanak.. I think it all kicked off when someone asked why he didn't appear to be carrying a weapon, his reply was somewhere along the lines of "Don't worry, I could kill you with my fingers."

Ignore the gun on her shoulder. She didn't have a gun. She was a ranger who hung out with the wrong kind of people. Her demise was a sad one, but Rath was awesome and gave her ending an appropriate closure.

And this was Lei, my Jaxa Pah elf. Credit goes to Briarfox for this one:

My former Kadian worker bee, Ixen. If Nexi wants to post the full pic of them both together she's more than welcome to. Not sure who she got to do the image of the twins for us, but I've adored it for years, now.

She was my very first character and I loved every confusing, dramatic, angsty, high-fashion moment of it. I strongly suspect that you're all loons for preferring Allanak, merchant is the best class in the whole game, and that making dresses trumps killing beasties.

I remember Nexi and Ixen and Sherris when I played my badass Khalyat (Khal). It was a lot of fun in Tuluk during these times!   ;D

I think there's a portrait of Khal floating around somewhere by Greasygemo.

Bead, Elder of the Akei ta Var, portrait by Ourla. Previously posted in the other portrait thread.

(http://samalacoffey.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/portraitjonaton-small.jpg)

Bead was my first desert elf and my first Drovian. She was active in 2007 and 2008, and was thrown straight into the elven politics of the Elan Pah Alliance. It was very rewarding trying to balance her between seeking deeper knowledge of her elemental magicks, her tribe's place and fate in Zalanthas, elven politics, the End of the World plots, and her own desire to stay connected to the more mundane side of reality. My favorite times with this PC were when sitting around with friends and/or tribemates, talking about mysteries, desires, fears, philosophy, hopes. While not very old, she was often regarded as a wise and level-headed elder who willingly admitted she knew much but didn't understand half of that which she knew.

In true Armageddon tradition, she was betrayed by a close friend and died a brutal, fiery death. The murder scene itself took up towards two hours to play out before the Mantis head. I missed her for a long time afterwards.

Here's the full image of Nexi and Ixen from back in the day. Briar was the talented artist behind this :)

Also, as a funny side note, I nearly had a heart attack making Ixen's red outfit. I was horrified I would ruin the INCREDIBLY expensive materials it was crafted from.

He was a throw away character who lived for far too long. He was always involved in ridiculous adventures and would have been fun if long life wasn't so tragic. Also, father of Pebble, the baby dwarf shown above. Was searching for kanks per his face tattoo.

Great work. I've never tried getting any artwork done for any of my characters. I had a white haired bynner that I had a picture of from some site that you get to mix and match stuff to make faces .... And although it was what my character was modeld after, it wasn't very Arm themed.

I most certainly made that image, but if I could paint like that for real, I wouldn't need photoshop.  That's all digital I'm afraid.  (It only says "oil on canvas" for the same reason it says "22nd age". ;))

I'm confused...isn't the bottom corner signed Megan Lara (i.e Biscuits)? 

Either way, great portrait. 

If I ever had to be artistic and not just crafty, it would be some crayon stick figure.
It would not be good.

As a side note, I'm glad everyone is following the rules in this thread and it hasn't been locked.  I've been waiting and waiting to be able to post a portrait of a past character and I have a little less than two weeks to continue waiting.

Palimus Tor (left) and his trusted Scorpion, Kazar, who died (by obvious method) in the Copper War. Palimus was a little shorter and stockier than the picture shows, but I still just get seriously impressed by it.  Thanks to the player of Kazar for having it drawn.

Brynn, by far one of my favourite PCs, my first merchant and my longest lived character, in terms of days played.

(http://i.imgur.com/xVClkqY.jpg)

One of the guys at Dman's gym is a professional artist and this was part of my birthday present last year.  He doesn't play Arm but Dman gave him Brynn's description and the description of a bunch of things she almost always wore and this is what he came up with.
I don't know if the picture can be enlarged or anything after it's posted [tech skills (novice)] but it's incredibly detailed.  You can see all the individual hairs on the quirri hide halter and the scales on the snakeskin pouch etc.  One of my favourite things about this picture is the rings she's wearing.  The one on her index finger is the one she designed for her mate, if you look at the details you can see the individual leaves and swords carved in it. 

She was also my first and only character to really spend the bulk of her time in Tuluk, she wasn't inked but one of the things she wanted more than anything was to get citizenship.  Alas, the end came before that long process was completed.

I wanted to kill her so many times, but really, she was an amazing character from what I did see of her. I wish I had at least one character in all that time that got to really interact with her on any level besides 'Gosh, it's a breed. Ew.'

Two Moons is the reason I'm still playing this game.

My newbie self didn't realize half elves couldn't join the AoD and after being tossed out the gates by a militia sergeant and wandering into the salt flats to die, Two Moons found my breed, got him a mount, and sent him on the journey that led to him becoming my longest lived character to date.

This is the closest I've ever had to a "character portrait."

I believe this was the image I had for Bytal. A bynner I believe or I planned to be. But then I have his history being from Allanak and my notes indicate a lot of northern people, so either I got something confused as I took notes on everything and didn't organize much.

The burned, scarbound dwarf. Byn sergeant of a couple years ago. Went by Stump. Had a true name that only a few knew.

(http://i.imgur.com/jE00Psv.jpg)

I've been roleplaying for 20+ years and Stump was my favorite of the characters I've played.

He was my favorite because most who interacted with him would probably find him a robotic, unfeeling dwarf, but he was inwardly capable of a huge range of emotion and his mind was constantly hyperactive.

I've played some evil bastards, but Stump was the most dangerous due to how inhuman he was. It was always fun to inhabit his alien personality. He was at different times brilliant, confused by the simplest aspects of humans and their society, heartless, capable of pure love, fearlessly loyal, and monstrously, ruthlessly betraying.

Haven't been able to make a character I enjoyed as much. Trying to is what restarts the call of Crackageddon at times.

Haha, yes, good memory.

It was funny when a bunch of runners would die and Stump would turn to a human Trooper that was friends with one or more of the dead and say something like, "Why are you making that face? Four of them died but we could have lost seven and come out ahead. Mount up. We are leaving."

I guess the one-eyed soldier snapped to attention there? Was Agross involved? Are you even paying attention to the thread about how appropriate it is to eat babies? Actually, I heard his name too and was sad I didn't get to see what he was all about. Maybe when enough time has passed I can comfort myself with logs. I always wanted to play a Tuluki, but each time I tried I wanted to burn the place to the ground, with the exception of only a few characters. Ok, sometimes, wanted to burn the entire place to the ground, but I refused to play there then.

To pull back the curtain a little bit: Raleris did eventually marry a young NPC wife at the suitably creepy age of 55. He wanted to marry a PC about 25 years earlier, but her dying of a disease in front of him ended that prospect. It did start something else however: when he picked her up to carry her back to her estate, a certain other major noble of the time came along and subtly accused Raleris of murdering her. That kicked off an endless rivalry.

Raleris was a Tuluki fixture and I was actually sad when he was killed :(

I guess the one-eyed soldier snapped to attention there? Was Agross involved? Are you even paying attention to the thread about how appropriate it is to eat babies? Actually, I heard his name too and was sad I didn't get to see what he was all about. Maybe when enough time has passed I can comfort myself with logs. I always wanted to play a Tuluki, but each time I tried I wanted to burn the place to the ground, with the exception of only a few characters. Ok, sometimes, wanted to burn the entire place to the ground, but I refused to play there then.

You weren't the only player who refused to play in Tuluk under any circumstances. GDB discussion over the years often covered the topic of player-started plots or a lack thereof in the game. Often it was these players who would complain about a lack of such plots on the GDB, and I would try to hint that maybe they could try playing in "other places", knowing that there were a bunch of players, including myself, running player-started plots in Tuluk. Governance, the reconstruction of Tuluk, war-related plots against the kryl and Allanak, hunting down loose muls, hunting down southerners that came north to cut down trees, anti-magickal stuff, poltiical scheming... all of that and more was going on in Tuluk, but a lot of players missed out on it because it was Not Allanak. Kind of a shame now that Tuluk is closed, but maybe one day it will be open again and people will get to experience Tuluk in a new light.

The documentation for Tuluk was quite daunting. I'll admit, I've bumped into, known, or otherwise heard of some badass PCs from Tuluk, but most of the time I just couldn't figure out how to play there. When I actually tried, I sort of realized I couldn't, so I'd go back to playing sorts that weren't from Tuluk for a while, usually. Just before it closed I either rolled up a Tuluki each time, or ended up there by circumtance. The very fact that the documents on Tuluk make it difficult to grasp can, in some ways, stifle interaction by limiting the number of players there, but on the whole, I must say, it was a fun experience, and I wish I'd done it much sooner, before the opportunity was closed to me.

Byn Trooper Andra, the lithe, sharp-clawed female. I later heard her approval slipped through and she should have been a special app, but I was quite content with aesthetically mutated. She got a chronic Tuluk player like me into the Byn, which was an experience I appreciate. Was in the Northern unit of the time, and one or two more since, when I returned to her after wandering off from here for a while. *squints at patch* ... Nope can't tell which it is here.

To be fair, there's a bug/feature with the older-style NPCs in the rinth, where you could get a waif who was in fact very tall, depending on the load.

I imagined him as a bit more hairy -- can you redo it shirtless?

Post by: BadSkeelz on February 12, 2016, 04:55:09 PM
It's actually a bug/feature of all NPCs (edit: or at least a lot of the ones in Allanak), that they randomly select their height on reboots. They do seem to trend upwards, and when you play a shorter PC it becomes very noticeable.


Quote from: nauta on February 12, 2016, 04:49:54 PM

Torgun was originally envisioned at something of a cross between Bob Hoskins, Danny Trejo and Ron Jeremy, if that helps. I was expecting to be murdered within 6 hours of play.

If you're game JDM, he needs a huge jade cross tattoo, and an angry pustule that never healed from that time a shark-toothed rinthi girl tried to shank him in the jails.

Get in line. I mean with the epic John Woo sparring matches we had going on?  Malkreth chiseled that scowl on Torgun's face with a bone sparring sword.  Everyone seemed to think I was playing a character but I wasn't even role playing at that point, everything was just room echos of trying to craft Torgun from two brass balls and a scowl I found outside the gates.

It was the longest crafting session I ever saw, but it was well worth the wait.

I will always picture Torgun  == Dredd, but the picture definitely has my stamp of approval. Good times.

Since I still feel nostalgic about my gypo... she's my only PC to date with 3 (!) separate word docs to her name. One for general stuff, one for intel, and one for dances. She almost single-handedly made gypsyfest happen, though Asil kindly helped her along after a few gentle nudges here and there.  ;D

Aishe Zeina al Asenn (Asha)

The sleek, chocolate-haired woman

The most easily noticeable feature of this young woman, even from a distance, is the lush curtain of dark chocolate hair that spills across her shoulders and back to brush against a slender waist. It appears to be well cared for, and has been parted on one side of her head, partially braided away from her face to keep it from falling over her eyes. Her face is marked by tribal origin: Well-defined eyebrows with a slight upwards angle and high cheekbones draw attention towards a pair of slightly slanted brown eyes. A straight, slender nose rests above a wide, luscious mouth. Her frame is lean, defined by sleekly toned musculature moving beneath skin hued the color of creamy milk coffee. Some parts of her skin are adorned by artistic tattoos: A slender blade, inked in various dark shades, rests upon her forearm. When exposed, her upper back carries a colorfully inked set of delicate, spread wings framing a single eye that sits between her shoulder blades.

Just so you know the reason for this rule, it's that we don't want to get in copyright disputes over pictures that we don't have any ownership rights to.  The Arm staff is understandably a little skittish about copyright stuff.

In the age of 2017, as a 22 year old male who is immersed in the world of memes and gifs, who tested the boundaries of cyber-criminality - The Armageddon staff is not going to be charged with felonies because another -unrelated-
player posted a photo they copy and pasted on the WORLD WIDE WEB on a forum. Copy and pasting a photo is /not so criminal/. Pasting a photo and saying hey - I made this - Is.

Critical Role had its intro scenes blurred out for the better part of a year (if not more) because some of the artwork used was not with the artists permission, and there was a small legal battle that ensued.

Armageddon has had legal issues before, concerning copyrights and Dark Sun references in particular. I believe they are just being careful, perhaps too much, but better that than the admin team shelling out legal fees for our text-based MUD.

I think Maristen's personality really shines through in that portrait. He was really too pure for such a nasty, cutthroat world. Not that he couldn't be nasty or cutthroat himself--he had to be--but it was always kind of tragic that he had to engage in such things. I really appreciated the way you played with the dichotomy between his natural goodness and his Zalanthan practicality. At least, that's the way I saw it.

I bought the plastic glasses from Amazon, and the anaglyphic image looks pretty good on my PC, but how much aberration there is is going to depend on your glasses and the monitor's colors.  I have 3D images of the character close up, too, but they need a little tweaking.  I will follow up with those later.

Lirael / Lii / Lira / Blaze / Hawk, First Trooper of the T'zai Byn, semi-chibi art by Parrish_Broadnax.

I think it's been long enough that I can talk about her now, anyway. Easily my most complicated character, my most long-lived, and the one I had the most fun with (struggling to RP her successfully without breaking sense). Had five people running in her head. I based three off of her actual name purely for the sake of my own sanity.

Still miss her, but fuck if I didn't learn some things going through her life. I should get a proper fullbody artpiece of her one day, outside of a chibi style.

Just out of curiousity, why can't we post a portrait of our current character? It's not going to reveal plots or anything, right? It's just an artistic expression of a character that people can already read a description of, but may not envision the same thing as the player of the character.

Yeah, I don't know why this matters. Per the documentation, it isn't against the rules to reveal your OOC identity to someone. It specifically references using OOC modes of communication to organize playtimes and such. It just says we can't discuss in-game secrets and ongoing plot information. Knowing someone OOCly plays a particular character doesn't give away any secret info. If a player has issues with people on the GDB or whatever, they can keep their character identities a secret. If they don't, I don't really see a need for that to be forced upon them, particularly when there is already game documentation that sets a precedence against that being a hard and fast rule.

You can't see her body which is where you'd see her contours more but you're right,  she was short and curvy. Her face was modeled after Eva Green and I think the artist nailed that.

And that's all she wrote, folks.

Quote from: Hauwke on October 11, 2019, 06:20:25 PM
The rules are pretty clear, no discussing or whatever within a year. I don't see how it strays from the spirit of it.

I wasn't gonna be no snitch but... Lumi was like, alive like... the same month this was posted and it didn't get taken down like the other pic did.

To my knowledge, the world of Zalanthas hath not crumbled.  lol...

Unless it's a different, Lumi but judging by the colors of her garb I'm gonna guess no.

Meaning, I'm pretty sure postin' pics of characters is harmless.  I have some game art I'd really like to post myself.

Thank you for pointing this out Bebop. The drawing has been removed. The artist can feel free to post it again in roughly 6 months time. Also, since we have questions about the rules. Here you go:

QuoteWith original submissions still unavailable we are going to allow players to post their character portraits in this gdb thread.

The thread is for the artwork that players create or have commissioned, the kind of artwork we'd normally put on the website but are currently unable to.  (Note, this is not the place to put RL pictures of people who look like your character concept etc).

To help keep things streamlined and on track please keep the following rules online:

- Post character portraits for your own characters only
- Do not post character portraits of any PC that is still alive in game
- Do not post character portraits for any PC that was in game within the last year

Rules for this forum must be followed in any discussion of these character portraits.

Additional expectations and rules for this subforum:

•  Discussion should be centered around the submission.  This can cover the events of the submission itself and discussion of that character (most submissions are about specific characters and specific events).
•  While discussing the plot or characters of the submission is fine, make sure that your post revolves around the scene or the character(s)--not your character or stuff that happened that is vaguely related to it.  In general, the more that the discussion deviates from the specific submission, the less likely it should be there.
•  If you desire to specifically discuss your own character's exploits, we encourage you to work on your own original submission.  Once the tool is ready we will let you know!
•  No discussion of a PC that is (or may be) alive, period.
•  If the PC has passed within the past year, it still may not be discussed, period.
•  Off-limits topics:

◦Ongoing plots.
◦Magick system, magickal plots, or mechanics thereof that are not in the public documentation or in the public website.
◦Code mechanics.

Olek was so cool, he actually took risks and did proper defiler stuff, more than just accumulate contacts and magickal power while taking no risks like a lot of sorcs do. I remember fighting against him a couple of times as a Byn Runner (with the unit he attacked) , and him being driven off. Just a really proper spooky sorc. Kudos m8. I worked for him much later in Herix's life when he offered to show my dorf the secrets of the old known (his focus).

It was cool to show up late to the party and see him dead on a later pc (I was just a lowly Runner of the Byn contingent that time).
