D&D: trying to find character portrait

[juldea]

Inspired by shadowravyn's recent post displaying the images she found online to depict one of her gaming characters, I began searching around to find pictures for my character in londo's Tuesday night game.

Do you know how fucking difficult it is to find fantasy artwork of a female cleric (or female of any type) who is moderately dressed? This is painful! This is the mini I use, and a good depiction of how dressed I want to be.

I have found these, of which none are accurate:

This is supposedly a picture of Goldmoon, though I don't know her to have ever been out of her furs. Still, right Goddess at least, but I don't wield that particular staff, just a quarterstaff.

This is at least a decently-attired human female, but the coloring and weaponry is all wrong.

This is not great quality and also a bit too Mary Sue for me. Sure my character is blond, but that's just because that was an easy color to paint the mini!

This is an official image from the D&D website, but once again, the coloring and weaponry are wrong.

Ooh, this is not bad. Being black and white, I could edit out the mace entirely and the top of the staff. Hmmmm...

Mmmm, pretty!

This is pretty darned good...

She is dressed well.

I will probably continue adding pictures to this post as I go.

Point of note: This image is pretty poignant, and nerdx111 might like it.

Well, the 2 weeks was only if you had desired the Karmian Robe set. (C grade) The lower end staffs and robe sets wouldnt take more than a few hours to obtain. The korean website I mentioned earlier has a set with no skin showing and wouldnt take more than an hour or 2 of game time to obtain. Also, I would have been able to control camera angle, and remove those silly things like....bare skin. Anyways, just for fun, check out the ivory-tower.de website for the following combo: Dark Elf, female, D, Light, Salamander skin. That's supposed to be a full set of armour. You know that stuff that protects you from sharp metal pointy things.....

Haha! That's a lot of exposed skin for pointy things to get at, there!

Perhaps I should play this game for a couple of hours and see what I can do, then. Does it cost money? >_>

Actually, that's one of the things I'm trying to figure out. The normal game is an MMO like WoW, so yes it would cost money. However, they used to offer free 2 week trials. It seems that due to massive abuse by money farmers, they have shut those down, or at least severely restricted availability. I'll look into it more when I get home and can get past all the wonderful wonderful filters at work.

ok!

Well, it seems the free trials are promotion or from friend only. The cheapest I saw the 2 week trial was $2, but not from a site I think I remotely trust. I'm gonna guess you will go another route. :/ Although if you can get a friend who is a top notch photoshopper, the ingredients are there. Sorry for it all ending up going nowhere.

No, it's cool, I loved seeing all the things that could be done with it, and it certainly generated ideas! Thank you for helping!
