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!
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:

Finally, a portrait I commissioned from Ourla.
Onyxi and Pebble:
(http://i.imgur.com/ikNcFK5.jpg)
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.
Valeria's Winrothol kinda looks like Katherine Heigl

I get more of a Dolph Lundgren (http://static.mensfitness.co.uk/sites/mensfitness/files/styles/article_main_wide_image/public/dolph-lundgren.jpg?itok=kRHPxNNL) feel from Tak, at least from his portrait here. An underweight Dolph.

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."
This was my inspiration for Dakiah aka Rhiri:

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 want to see Narf's guy in Evoru's red dress
It's a terribly, terribly expensive dress. For a few weeks I missed that dress more than I missed my character. ;D
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.

I had one but it's lost. Though it's some here on the forums but in the mod section.
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.
(http://imageshack.com/a/img673/3415/5YWW6Y.jpg)
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.
Awesome KankWhisperer, can you tell us anything about the character?
Miss the twins! One of the craziest rp things ive done with a soldier happened to Calistyrr with Ixen. Loved Nexi! X. I wish I had a picture of that big dumb bearded blonde, the closest rl comparison I could find was...

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.
Would he point to his face and ask people "Have you seen one of these lately?"
He would point to it when they asked what one looked like.

Dammit. I gotta find a damned artist.
There's been a few up there, Briarfox did awesome work, Ourla as well.
I used to post things under 'Kelen', a Borsail drawing (See my name) and a couple stories.
I was 17 when some of that stuff was posted! Seems like a lifetime ago... Oh wait... My 'dead' list is longer than that so ::) Maybe a few.

Oh, I mean, wouldn't as in, wouldn't bang. The portrait is superb.
EDIT: wait hold on i confused myself
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 want to get some character art done :(

Heh, you have a lot of faith in my manual skills, Eukelade.
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 aware of your preferred medium. But digital painting is still painting. :)

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.
Yeah, not that I'm an expert artist-knower, but that does look like Biscuit's work.
Oh Anthinius. My nemesis. ;D

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.

I can't remember if I was in Fangs or Soh when she was around, but the picture is seriously awesome. It's almost like Dark Sun pro artwork.
The Red Fang were out of the picture before Lusts for Blood was in-game.
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.
CLICK HERE, THEN CLICK THE PICTURE TO SEE THE DETAILED VERSION OF THE PICTURE ABOVE (http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb475/singlehart/Elf_character.jpg~original)
That picture reminds me of how sad she seemed and the sad story she told before mantis head.
Oh sheesh, that breed.
:P
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.'
Yeah... so I'm an art geek, I guess. The level of detail on the little pouch is ridiculous.
She's hot...Uh I mean... You know, for a filthy breed.
I enjoyed having a character that was able to interact with her. She was a fun character.

Two Moons, Howls at Death, Pack leader of the Red Fangs and bringer of their demise. With his trophy-spear, dull black gems and demon-skull mask.

omg
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.

She sure told me some sad stories. My PC went berserk when she died, threatened to kill the guy who escorted her, and got kicked from the outpost, then fell in the gith trench. Good times!

Moderated a post. Please do not post character portraits that have not been gone and dead for a bare minimum of a year.

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.

I am planning on doing Fale, Borsail and Tor next. Mainly because I currently hate my old Fale Noble and Aide pic. I was hoping to have them all done before "Githmas" but I will be traveling the next couple weeks and wont have time to finish the other 3. I could have worked the background harder but I am not feeling it :P Also, I am already on to re-vamping my old Fale pic -enjoy!
Yea!
That is fully leveled badassery.
;D Thank you! Totally accepting ideas/impute on Tor
That's awesome. Are you doing every noble house or just working your way through Allanak?
Been resisting posting "'Dat ass."
[Image moderated by Valeria. I realize it might have been intended as comment on another post, rather than a character portrait, but it's keep the images in this thread portraits. Thanks!]
Here's a portrait Briar made for me of a Sun Runner of mine a few years back. It ended up much prettier than she really was. Her facial scar description was pretty horrific.

Noble houses...We will see from there. Someone asked if I was doing the northern ones as well..I haven't decided yet. Though honestly I really don't mind doing free stuff for the site. I am stable enough now to do Character Portraits in exchange for donations to Armageddon as well.
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.
Thanks to Greasygemo for the artwork

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."
Pretty sure his real name was "Burnt-as-Krath" :P

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.
Thanks to Greasygemo for the artwork
I'm pretty sure Stump was the only PC I've sent in two separate kudos for. He is the standard all other dwarves are set to in my mind now.

Here's a portrait Briar made for me of a Sun Runner of mine a few years back. It ended up much prettier than she really was. Her facial scar description was pretty horrific.

PS: Hope there are no hard feelings, but somebody's got to play the villan. ;)
Hawk is Ballenar.
I regret not seeing if I could troll him over the way to flipping out and killing all of his magickal friends :P
I remember encountering Hawk early in his life as an SLK and finding him a pleasure to interact with.
I can still vividly picture Hawk standing on the horizon, watching Kahrii and Lusts for Blood dancing around Anya's body with anakore howling in the distance.
Pretty cool, man. My dude gave Hawk those boots to appease a gypsy girlfriend. I'm pretty sure you remember that PC. Later, I watched him die. I can't say which dude I was in that scenario ... yet. All around badass PC, had a lot of fun with you.

Hawk: I was hoping to have an interesting ongoing dynamic with him while playing my Kuraci mul Widow. Alas, random death. :(
I was almost part of his crew, once. But I stupidly decided to stick with my clan (which the PC hated so very much by its end). He was around to watch most of the crew filter out. Wonderful RP all around, though I imagined him darker, in my head.
I liked going from bitter enemies to a grudging alliance. He left deep footprints in the sand.

Ran into him across several PCs, one if which pissed his pants once he realized who was speaking to him.
Got to play one of his mul first mates, and sadly died to going AFK in an opportune place, the most un-epic way to die in Armageddon (and one of the most common for me).

Can you comment on the medium, Ourla? I like your work.
There is way to blow it up in Adobe..I do it all the time.
But don't you lose res?
No you adjust all that..depending on how small the image is. There should be a number of tutorials online to show you how to play with the size safe. If its REALLY small like a thumb nail best thing you can do is trace over it with a wacom tablet in Adobe. Once your line is work in a Adobe you can mess with the size all you want.
I'll just leave this here.

Wow, nice picture. I hadn't seen this yet. I saw Hawk with a few different characters but I'll always remember the last view I got
with Larry the Byn Sergeant. I'm assuming those are his sleeves.
And to think, he almost had Hawk in a trap during the early days.

Senior Patron Raleris Winrothol, by James de Monet
(click for bigger image)
... I'd always suspect that Raleris was a deep character with a twisting tale that no one could possibly understand. He was Tuluki afterall...
But who could have guessed he was the Big Boss of Armageddon? Mind blown. :o
HE'S ALREADY A DEMON.
Well, he did have that one-eyed legendary soldier thing going for him.

Eheeheehee... wait, maybe I'm the only one who thinks that sounds dirty.
The best part of being a drovian and spying on Raleris was to watch him stash his wife NPC in the Estate's closet after he was done with her hehehe
YOU FEEL IT TOO, DON'T YOU?
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.
I think it was usually Tuluk PCs that ended up burning things down in Tuluk.

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.

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.
How are you not going to capitalize "light" at the end of that paragraph?
Or at least bold it?
And yeah, Raleris was the one who made Tuluk rock in those years. You rock, Cutthoart!
I once made a stuffed gimpka rat doll named Mister Ratters stand guard over him in the Sanctuary.
I laughed for a long time at how he just rolled with it and placated my poor dumb giant soldier.
Well played Cutthroat, well played.
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.

On one of my very first characters, back when I was still figuring things out, Raleris let my newbie linguist give him one or two Allundean lessons in exchange for pay.
Awesome character, was interesting watching the character grow as I went through dozens of my own.

Awwww look at that grumpy face.
Damn, it's hard to get a sense of how short he is from this upward-facing perspective. But the grumpiness and helmet was captured 100%. This is another great portrait from JdM, awesome work man.
Torgun was about 5'3", maybe 5'4". Waifs towered over him.
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?
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.
You never realize how generally tall the PC population is until you play a 5'5" male PC. Mine was before Torghun's time though.

You guys were all a great crew.
Torgun's my newbie Sergeant. You can't have him
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.
I just regret I never thought to use the line "I'm surrounded by assholes!"

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.

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.

He was 13 when I started and was 26 when I stored him, but only worked for the House for 11 years, the first two, he had to wait for a opening. Lucky Chosen Lord Darrsul was very supportive of Duirk for his stonework which in the end became Durik's hobby. Ading/serving the House came first.

I think the bolded part is a clue? Did you create it or commission it?

If you're saying I need to draw it, or pay actual real life $ to depict my character, then no, I did not. But there is 2 posts on this page alone that would need to be moderated as well. IF we're being that nazi over technicalities.

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.
That's fair Riev. Better safe than sorry.

Love it.

Wow.
Excellent drawing, not how I pictured Mari in my head-canon. To me, he looks a bit more like ANOTHER Kadian I'm thinking of, but I guess I wasn't around Maristen incredibly often to get a real sense of who he was.
That's a great representation, Sprinkles!
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.
Gorgeous!
Perfect! (Exactly how I imagined his son to look. )
That picture is pretty much exactly how I imagined Maristen.

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.
v. cool, Runner.

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.
Reveals whether or not your char is alive, can't it?
It should be allowed again in clan subforums. I was told by...Akariel, maybe?...that it might be permitted there again if people posted actual art they did themsleves/commissioned art.

Fucking Dokkar. Had a lot of fun playing with you. I was the big scruffy half-breed, Flint.
Beautiful, beautiful Brons. Glad he's memorable after all this time.
And Dokkar ... you magnificent bastard. The world isn't the same without you.
I did not really interact with Brons any more than tavern sitting with him and shooting the (admittedly very dumb) shit with him, but he was an enjoyable character.

Thats the crazy bastard elf I was thinking of. Fuck that guy and his coiling around on the Byn Sparring hall floor like a goddamn snake. Rizzy was as crazy as those chalton that charge into a group of 6+Bynners and attack their HG.

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.

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:

I put together an entire epic recitation story about his death, based on the stories of the PCs that were there. Soon enough maybe I can post it.
Hah, that's pretty cool.
Shouldn't he technically be getting trampled by one of several mounts? ;D

It would certainly be the most accurate representation. However it wouldn't have captured his good side ;)
Just curious... did Olek actually have 6 fingers??

Evian for sure stole the Dragon Statue's steel balls. The things he did and got away with, damn.

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).

This is Liluth, whatsit and aspiring tailor of House Fale. It's been about five years IRL since she passed, and I finally got around to doing a portrait of her. Her end was too soon, but she was a good first character to have. Miss you, Liluth!
I'm interested in doing character art for people! Send me a message for those interested. Samples available.
ETA: I'm not charging for (quick) commissions, but if you enjoy the work I will accept tips to (hopefully) pay for the tools I'm using.
Shoutout to Windstorm! Does amazing work and wicked fast. :) Can't post the character portrait here that was done for me but it turned out beautiful! <3
I finally have a somewhat clear schedule again when it comes to these. If you'd like your character visualized, send me a message! :)

Not bad. Still too pretty, young, and symmetrical for Einar, but not bad for just a few prompts before I ran out of redos.

Too attractive, needs less symmetry indeed, and a more disfigured jaw. More ugly in the face! Although Einar was a beautiful person...despite his face.

I do a lot of work with AI, in general.
Generating it by mdesc doesn't work - try distilling it into the main points and themes that you want to get out of the image generator. Here's an example that worked pretty well for me, just trying it out. This is specifically a Midjourney prompt, but others are mostly similar, they may just have different switches (the --ar 9:16). In general, shorter is usually better. Think of a prompt as like a couple bullet points on a powerpoint slide and you'll usually get good results. Then you can modify the image from there for more specific results.
Tribal warrior clad in bone and leather armor, wild, shaggy black hair and beard, grey eyes, wielding a glaive. Bedouin influences. --ar 9:16
That's distilled from this mdesc:
Beneath this man's wild, tangled curls of onyx colored hair glow two dull granite colored eyes, peering from beneath overgrown bangs that droop down into his face. Partially hidden by those same bangs are a series of bone piercings above his eyebrows, forming a neat white line just above the dark, overgrown brows. Similarly pierced are his ears, small raptor teeth joined together to form a shallow "U" shape, pointing toward his shoulders and falling neatly from his slightly stretched earlobes. With skin pocked by the remnants of early disease, a faint white line of a scar trails from the inside of one eye socket, narrowly missing his left eye, to trail down to his chin. His lips, cloven by this scar, seem to twitch uncontrollably every so often on that side of his face. A firm, jutting jawline is hidden in a scraggly beard, twinned and braided with beads and small pieces of bone. The man's thick neck and shoulders bear the telltale chalky lines of lashings, partially hidden by the sun-bronzed skin and the muscles that ripple along his shoulders. A broad chest and thick arms trail into large, heavily veined hands, with calloused palms and knuckles scarred from teeth and weapons. One the inside of one wrist is a brand of a rising sun, puckered flesh inked in to have a crimson background.
And produces this image:
