The Wish of a Man Lacking Talent

[Resator O'Caariel]

I am - albeit to my great displeasure - incapable of any sort of visual art, computer assisted or not. However, I would really like to have a suitable avatar for my character (or at least for this account). Would anyone be able to assist a new Althanian?

Also, for any of the old-fashioned artists out there who still use paper - if you've a knack for sketching and the like, I'd be very interesting in speaking with some of you concerning an actual representation of Resator, my character.

Thanks for the help in advance!

Well, I'm not great at this stuff either, but your character caught my attention and I gave it a shot. Now, keep in mind this is a rather rough sketch and the coloring might not fit your dude perfectly, but that can be edited. Also, not sure if I got his facial expression right, so you might want to give me some feedback on that. Anyways...

Here it is! (http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/9366/unledh.jpg)


Welcome to Althanas. :D

[Resator O'Caariel]

Wow! I feel spoiled. Letho, your art is incredible! I don't think I've ever had anyone help me out on a forum the way you just did. Thanks, man!

And I don't think the coloration or expression need to be changed at all. They're actually flawless.

Thanks again! Now I just need to get it formatted down to a usable avatar, heh.

Wow indeed... if you ever feel inclined to grace Josh with a portrait, Letho, remember the Y-shaped scar beneath his eye. I would put it in my album thingy we have in our profiles on this newfangled forum.

Reese, you lucky barncat you.

[Letho]

Well, since you asked so nicely... And also because it's Friday, and I'm at work and slacking off.

Here. (http://img52.imageshack.us/i/damonm.jpg/) I think I got everything. The boots, the gun (it's holstered and tiny), the scar... :)

And so as not to completely hijack this thread from Resator, here's (http://img858.imageshack.us/i/unleds2.jpg/) an avatar-sized image.

Letho your art is equal to that of Da Vinci's. Could you grace Jack with some of your work?

[orphans]

Letho draws? Dx? What the.... what other hidden talents does the legend have?

A mastery of capturing the human form with both words and paint.

Well darn letho, I just had to return the favour... I don't have your eye for detail, but I believe I captured ravenheart's essence. After the battle of the Marshal's Severed Feet, apparently. Hopefully the attachment works.

[Letho]

Hahaha. The beard effect is downright awesome and the raven on his chest is a nice touch. Even if it's not flipped the way it should be. ;)

Man, we totally hijacked this thread. Sorry, Resator. That's how things go on Althanas. They escalate. Always.

Jackie Boy (http://img38.imageshack.us/i/mrfrosty.jpg/). I did my best to accentuate his angular facial features. Not sure if I got it right, though.

You have just given me the greatest gift I have had in days and it was without cost, and without request of reward: Laughter. Thank you.

[Jack Frost]

FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Letho. Thank you so much you master of the arts...

[Wynken]

[Jack Frost]

That penguins gonna be nightmare fodder soon. You should see what I have planned for it...
