In fact I'm suitably motivated to want to start painting her tomorrow now. Klocke seems to be doing all the Reaper dwarfs at the moment.

This is how I see Thorgrin:



Minus the wings on his boots!

Or this one:



I actually really like this second one since it is even accurate to most of the equipment I have picked for him too.

Then there is always the piece that was done to represent Moradin:

Well I had reserved this for an npc but you might be interested. It doesn't quite match the description on your character sheet 'though (but neither did the pictures you posted either :p).

And here's afew more that aren't reserved:


Chrysalis

I'm currently looking for pictures that could represent Kharsis, but the task seems to be harder than I thought. I feel like I find only pictures of veteran wearing full plates...

The best picture I've found so far is one of Caramon Majere. It must be an early picture because his muscles aren't too bulky yet:




Woojitsu

After looking around a bit, I still haven't found a portrait that's perfect for Shen.

I like this and this.  The first one will eventually be perfect for the character, but he hasn't grown into it yet.  The second one is just too angry.

If all else fails, this is too dark to see anything but the bow he's holding.

Dwarf male wearing scale mail with an axe and shield. The only thing that doesn't match in this one is his hair isn't steel grey.





This one can work down the line when he gets some heavier armor.

Don't worry. You'll probably start to look like that at around 4th level anyway :p.

Well my thinking is that I don't really want to go changing portraits down the line so people get to start with idealised "high level" portraits now and work towards living up to the image they'd like to present :).

I can also modify that one to crop it even closer so his armour's even less visible if you like :).

This picture is nice, but since it's Sturm, there is a mustache :icon_ermm:


Squigface

Only thing I can think of would be Captain carrots face on the PH book Cleric, but with a hood and dark brown hair :icon_neutral:

Squig check here http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/arch/mgx you can find a ton of art from the recent books. Maybe there is something in there you might like. Where did you get that picture of Sturm?


Balgin I am fine with that last one suggested (below) for me. No need to crop it or anything. I think that is good for a dwarven knight. By the way where dd you find the pic?

Ehm... :icon_scratch:

Google "picture" + sturm + dragonlance: second or third page I think.

I was asking because I thought it might have been a specific artists website, but thanks :icon_wink:
