So I was thinking that I might nejoy drawing some character portraits for other people. So me your ideas for character or description of characters you are currently playing or character you used to play.
I won't garantee that I'll draw every request, since my time is limited.
I'm an okay artists, so you are taking your chances.
Here are some small examples of characters I have drawn.

Oh, 42, I've got to take you up on this! I love character portraits, but my artistic skills are nil.
My request:
My current Demon character, Carl "Dr. Drinktopolis" Westpaul. At age 25 he got kicked out of med school for cheating and changing his grade. He lost all ambition and became a complete alcoholic. An entertaining, drunken call to a local shock-jock's morning show landed him a returning role as "Dr. Drinktopolis."
He has curly, unkempt blondish hair and three day old scraggly stubble. Soft features, and wearing dark rimmed glasses that lend him some intelligence. If I can request wardrobe I'd like to see him in jeans and a hockey jersey that reads "Drinktopolis" across the top with the number 69 in the usual spot. He should also be holding a microphone.
Hope this isn't too specific, but you've got me excited 42. I'd like to see your take on him!

Those are nice pictures.
Could you do pictures for the characters in the forum RPG?
I also have a character who could do with a picture.
Joseph Hardy is ~29 years old. Tall, 6'1". He has short and rather messy brown hair, no facial hair. He has open and honest facial features. His body is very fit, but not overly muscled - just moderately toned. He usually wears smart casual.
If you could do either of these requests, i would gift you with the souls of dozens of optimistic people :P

I could crack open the ol' Jar of Souls on my desk for payment. I think I'm most interested in a portait for Gregory (in the Patriot City game).
Now get to work *cracks the whip*
-
Isn't the third picture your Patriot city character 42?
-
Yes the third one is my Patriot City character.
-
I present Drinktopolis.

Very nice work.
Thank you so much!

YAY! Me likeys lots.
Now all the girls have a picture they can take home to love him secretly.
-
Uhmmm...I believe there was a jar of souls in payment.
-
Actually, I said i'd crack open the jar of souls. Which means I'd give you at least one of my captive souls. I'll pay two, plus one for tip. I'll send them by OOPS (Oni Oni Parcel Service)

So Entropy, I have been working on a character portrait for Eric which is starting to turn out to be rather elaborate. If you could give me more info about Joseph Hardy that would be helpful. I like to place people in action poses so telling me what they do helps.

yay!
which is starting to turn out to be rather elaborate.
why am i not surprised ;)

Joseph hardy is a Mage from the WoD game. He is a member of the Akashic Brotherhood, a sect of warrior monks who have strong buddhist beliefs. His day job is as a religious education teacher. He is a very kind man, so he will not have any malicious expressions. In combat he uses a very deadly martial arts style; think about the Matrix without VR, or phantom menace without the lightsabers and you cannot go wrong.
Any other information you would like?
-
Oh, just to make sure, joseph hardy is a causican - born in the US. Not asian.

Is this offer still available?? I would love to have a character portrait of one of my character for AORP. This one may be tricky, I dunno.. but I'd be completely thrilled if you could pull it off!
Master Thomas Providian - A Nobleman in SE's Arthurian campaign. Has short, thick, medium brown hair (with a slightly reddish tint), which he usually combs straight back; and deep, reflective blue eyes.* He's tall and has a solid frame. He is not very strong -- he weighs in at only 150 lbs, but is still quite goodlooking overall. He holds his head high and stands tall, as a nobleman should, and carries himself with an impressive air of dignity. Although his clothes appear common, having recently lost everything, he always wears a stylish dark-colored cloak, which tends to flow out behind him as he walks,
Despite his Christian upbringing he practices arcane magic behind the veil of closed doors or clever disguise, but will resort to using those powers in dire need.. so it'd be cool to have him slyly executing some kind of magic, if you can think how to do that.
He carries a dagger and small pouch slung through his belt, and wears a rather eyecatching red-ruby signet ring on his right ring finger.
*I tried to avoid using the term "piercing blue eyes."
Edit: Oh, and by the way, its alright if he's not exactly the same as I've described him :) I've tried to give you plenty of detail so you can get a good idea of him in your head, but you are free to interpret as you like, if you make the attempt.
-
I take it that a) this offer is closed, or b) my character is either too complex or too uninteresting..?
-
try c) 42 has not bothered to reply. He did not reply to Mr P until he had finished his characters portrait.
-
Yeah, 42 has a tendency not to talk much unless he can be snooty and condescending about something artistic ;)
-
Fair 'nough :)
-
I'm working on portraits, but like they said I don't usually respond until I'm done. I just don't want to make promises and then find out later I can't fulfill them. I takes a couple of hours to draw a portrait so a lot can happen.

Hm. Well, i have been in contact with her Royal Majesty, and i have managed to secure the following payment:
Either
1) A half - hour long bombardment of any French or African coastal city;
2) The murder of any 13 individuals of your choosing
And
The soul of De Gaulle, the most annoying french premier. You can have it - even after death he is still massively annoying. Please, take it!

My majestic overlord Cthulu in his Chathonic greatness has decided to have a special soul drive just for you. They bought those candybars with their SOULS.... :o
-
One question for Mad Jeffe - i hope those were non-elucidean candybars...
-
mmmmm........geometrically impossible snack food.... <insert drool here>
*runs out to start a line of "little Hastur" snack cakes
-
Call them 'Kings in yellow', and put little fotrune cookie type messages inside taken from the play...
-
Oo... good idea. *takes notes*
-
Not to push, 42, but I'm just curious if there are more character portraits in the works?
*push* *push* ;D
