I used a picture of a Thief-y character, but then @KidCarnival finished his paladin training and this happened. And then this. My alter-ego is a delusional Mind Flayer Priest of Lathander. So I've changed my avatar and actually EEkeepered one of my CHARNAMEs into a Mind Flayer too.
Picture of myself, taken while reading the latest WoW magazine in June last year. I was checking up on the content and new stuff, considering if I should activate my 4 yrs frozen account.
It became obvious quite fast that I shouldn't - hence the indifferent look on my face
Back in 2000 when I was playing a multiplayer game with some other Planet Baldur's Gate forum members I played a thief. So I found this portrait at the time to use for my forum avatar on that forum (I've never played the "Thief" computer game.). I just stuck with it ever since for continuity's sake. It was originally the same portrait but without the red background, IIRC.
@Lemernis has never played Thief!! *mind blown* and to think I'd considered you one of the brethren, all this time.
@Moomintroll Well, I've always wanted to if that helps! ;P I do hope one day to have a go at it. I guess I could get it through GOG, right? Gold Edition, I should think.
That is a depiction of Arra Frostweaver, a star elf high mage specialized in divination and one of my favourite characters. To a limited extent, Arra's face is a rough likeness of my face. Thus you shall not bow down to it or serve it, for this is mere imagery; I would hate you if you did.
@EntropyXII got some more portraits there? You draw pretty well.
Mine is The Illusive Man from Mass Effect with less grey hair. I used it as a portrait for my Jagged Alliance custom mercenary. I asked myself how would Cerberus fit in the Jagged Alliance universe. So I made an Illusive Man character starting out as rookie mercenary, that would later on progress in terms of skills and know-how of the mercenary business. He'd eventually make his own mercenary group that would rival AIM., and he'd call it Cerberus Initiative. To sum it up, it's an alternate universe of Jagged Alliance with Mass Effect. I liked the concept, and I've used this portrait in many other things ever since.
I missed this thread before. I'd like to see more of these posted.
Mine is a crop of a fantasy drawing from @LadyRhian's collection. In the full image, he has a pseudo-dragon on his shoulder. I liked the face, because it resembles me when I was about 23 years old. I play myself at various ages in my games, so I've used this same picture for a lot of my BG Charnames.
A while back, I went through a big phase of drawing all the time (something I need to start again). I decided I wanted to try and draw Cyric as he might've looked when mortal. I based his appearance off what I read in the Avatar crisis, when he traveled with Kelemvor and Midnight, thought I'd have him sneaking/stalking through the side-alleys of the city.

I like it.
Since then, my brain has been replaced by an Blackguard Cauliflower and a Paladin Broccoli...
But of course you already know this because you've read the threads ...
