I got bored one day and decided to use an onine program to create some character portraits. Not all of the characters are on there and not all of the characters look exactly as they should simply because the program was slightly limited. I'll probably add more as more characters and NPCs are added, but I feel these will help people visualize what's happening during an adventure. For reasons that don't exist we're going to go in alphebetical order. First up is Alexander Johnson since he is my character I know that he is up to standards. I still wish there were a few more options when it came to him but I'll take what I can get. Night. I really like how Night turned out with this. At first I was worried I couldn't make him pale enough but it only took minor fiddling to make it work. Angelis was a little tricky to do since there wasn't much description on what the armor really looked like and also because I didn't have the option of a flaming sword. All in all I think I did pretty well on him Primal was much easier in comparison to Angelis but I still had the issue that skimpy clothing is hard to do with that program. I think I did well when I used the dots to signify pheromones. Then we have Tech out and in costume. To tell the truth I used the program before I made the character. It just made it easier to describe him doing it this way. Of course we have Jared in hishuman form and his first and second forms. I would have loved to do these a little better but again I was limited. I also would have loved to do his third form. Then we have quite possibly the most powerful character on this site John McKnight. He really wasn't all that hard to do since his wardrobe was pretty simple to begin with anyway. And now we have Beast. My problem with this protrait is that I know he was supposed to look much more animalistic and the fact that this was the best I could do dissappoints me. Marco was pretty simple and not much needs to be said about him. Miles Militis was almost tricky but I think I did a very good job about him. True he doesn't have any chains but when it comes to his weapons it was the best I could do. When it comes to Nassariss I feel I did very well. With the exception of his spear, for some reason spears aren't a weapon option go figure, he is right on the money. Once again I was dissappointed with how Noc turned out. Even though I know that it was the absolute best I could do I still feel like I didn't do him justice. Psyco was easy because he's pretty simplistic if not a little hard on the eyes. Raven Wings was only difficult because I don't know what auburn color is. However her hybrid form was much more difficult just because nonhumanoids are always difficult. Still I think I did rather well with her. Serph was no trouble at all and no more needs to be said about it. When it came to Seth I had a little trouble imagining how to express his powers or if I should at all. Despite this I feel I did really well with him. Shayne Brice I feel like I wasted my valuable time on him but without him Batguy means nothing. My only problem with how Batguy turned out was that he doesn't have a symbol. The reason behind this is that a smily face wasn't an option for insignia. With Simon I only had a problem with what exactly he should wear. All in all I feel he turned out well. Travis was like Shayne in the sense we was pretty much a waste of time, but again without him Blaze doesn't make much sense. That's all for now but as more characters are added I'm bound to create more. I might also finish off all of the characters I didn't make. So those of you that have personal stakes in these characters let me know what you think and for the rest of you just give your oppinions. |

Jared looked nice and Seth wasnt bad either. Though the link for Travis doesn't work, but that might just be my net not the link itself. Blaze was nicely done, too. I was gonna say something about another character or two but now i can't remember. lol |

No Travis doesn't work for some reason. As annoying as that is. |

That's what I was gonna say! He does! He looks like somebody gave Jesooz a shield and sword and went, 'Stand over there and look important for once.' |

I'm not sure. That's just how it turned out. Coincidence? I think not. |

You used heromachine for these, been there, and I agree that their options are dreadfully lacking when in comes to characters with non human features. |

Oddly enough I'm using the upgraded version then you're thinking of and although some options are widely superior others are horribly lacking. It's odd. Truly it is. |

I have more portraits to share with you peoples. Pretty much I'm finishing off the characters and NPCs that I didn't do the first time around except for a few that I just didn't want to go through the trouble of doing. First up this time is Azriel. Azriel was a little difficult just because there was no description of his clothing. Other than that it was pretty simple. Then we have Brim Storm in his human and his demon forms. He was only difficult to do because of the combinations I had to try out to get him right. In the end I think I did him some justice. Cain was pretty fun to do. I had a little trouble with the aristocratic english clothing, but I think I made up for it with the Ahnk around his neck. I love irony. Calculus had some simple clothing so I just had to figure out how to express his powers. Which I think I did pretty well. I really don't like how Evan Nicholi turned out. I really don't. Horatio and Executioner turned out alright though. So that makes me feel better about Evan. When it came to Iesha I just had to figure out the best way to do her hair and her powers. Not as good as I was hoping it would turn out but still pretty good. Then we have Jack Stewart and The Alchemist. My only issue with these are that I couldn't do the Alchemist's tattoos. That dissappointed me. Jake was easy. His armored self was slightly more difficult but I really like how it ended up looking. For Jerech Yurotzavich I just had an issue with his hair and his equipment. All in all I think it ended well. John Mathews was really really easy. I mean it was ridiculous. Reaper was pretty easy to do. It took a little bit of creativity to get the skin tone and the appropriate clothing. I just kinda made Rebecca Nicholi up as I went along. I seriously had little idea what exactly to do with her so I just ran with it. Turned out well if I do say so myself. Richard MicFarland was simple but it amused me. I'm not sure why. It may be that most of the characters on the site have kind of a pattern with hair color, but Richard doesn't follow that pattern in the slightest. Sara was a complete and total waste of time. She is just way to simple for me to tolerate and I have no idea why I made her portait in the first place. Shades was easy enough, but enjoyable to do simply because the body armor is away from the norm and I enjoy that. When it came to Terra I liked it at first but now I'm having doubts about the vines. However I'm not sure it would look right without them. The last character I'm displaying at this time is The Elementist our newest members first character. She was tricky to do which made her kinda fun. |

Very nice for Nika Though her hair looks kinda plastered to her head XD Is that a generator of some kind? Might it be possible to get the link to download it or something? I enjoy using those kind of things ^^ |

i think thats just cuz of the stupid generator. i wish that thing had more options, especially poses cuz that same pose over and over is getting a little annoying. |
