  1. Re: Fantasy Art Thread Looks like an older link. According to the page, they've moved to Deviant Art, although there are thumbnails on the page.
  2. Heroes of Might and Magic IV gallery is up! They looked like this in Heroes 3: They were mildly changed into this in Heroes 4: These are screenshots from a game taken to introduce you to its art. All images are copyrighted by their respective owners. Link to Flickr is mandatory per Flickr terms of use. Hi Everyone! A gallery of Heroes of Might and Magic IV portraits has been added to Fantasy Art and Portraits. Heroes IV portraits include heroes from Heroes III as well as many new characters. The art is redone and sharpened, and if you had a favourite hero from Heroes III, you will probably find them in Heroes IV as well. Lizardmen are no more. Of some curiosity are orcs that look like warthogs or water buffalo. Also, the use of caps are extensive and (maybe due to portrait size constraints) there's nary a pointy wizard cap to be found. Enjoy!

  6. What someone else thinks your character looks like Here's a thread that might be interesting to you: Posters write a short description of their character, and someone else posts a picture of what they think that character looks like! http://forums.gleemax.com/leaving.php?destination=http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php%3Ft%3D1092834
  7. On ENWorld - "Images for Use as Tokens" There's an interesting thread on ENWorld: Images for use as Tokens
  8. The Fantasy Art of SpellForce Hi Everyone! Since the last time I posted about Fantasy Art and Portraits, a section on SpellForce has been added! SpellForce has an intriguing look that taps into fantasy stereotypes, yet has novel elements sprinkled throughout, like the use of masks, and interesting support units such as the orc drummer. The galleries have quite a few pictures, but are still essentially under construction, and more pictures will be added now and again. As a reminder: All images are copyrighted by their respective owners (DUH!). This screenshot is for private non-commercial use only (like, don't use it as the book cover of your magnum opus). They are screenshots from a game taken to introduce you to their art. Enjoy!
  9. "Silk Road" portraits from Tradewinds: Caravans Hi Everyone! Since the last time I posted about Fantasy Art and Portraits, a section on Tradewinds: Caravans has been added! Culturally, the art spans China to the Middle East, with the occasional portrait decidedly Caucasian, probably as a nod to European traders who had penetrated the region during the time period encompassed by the game. There is also a "romanticized" lens applied: Even supposed bums will be in clean, colourful clothes. As a reminder: All images are copyrighted by their respective owners (DUH!). This screenshot is for private non-commercial use only (like, don't use it as the book cover of your magnum opus). They are screenshots from a game taken to introduce you to their art. Enjoy!
  10. Re: Fantasy Art Thread This is the fantasy art thread, and the site shows fantasy art. There are tons of sites that have screenshots. So why not?
  11. Puzzle Quest art and portraits Hi Everyone! Since the last time I posted about Fantasy Art and Portraits, a section on Puzzle Quest has been added! Puzzle Quest has a suite of fantasy staples. While it is a small art set, it has a "generic anime" look and can easily be supplemented with art from such series as Record of Lodoss War. As a reminder: All images are copyrighted by their respective owners (DUH!). This screenshot is for private non-commercial use only (like, don't use it as the book cover of your magnum opus). They are screenshots from a game taken to introduce you to their art. Enjoy!
  12. Re: Fantasy Art Thread Hi Everyone! Since the last time I posted about Fantasy Art and Portraits, a section on Dungeon Siege 2 has been added! Dungeon Siege 2 has a "generic fantasy" look. You will, however, either like it or hate it. The art direction seems specific to the game world, and certainly doesn't focus on showing a lot of skin...

  13. Re: Fantasy Art Thread Hi Everyone! Since the last time I posted about Fantasy Art and Portraits, a section on Heroes of Might and Magic III has been added! Heroes III has art similar to Heroes V, except it has more races and is more fanciful. A less focussed, but wider and more "creative" source of portraits. Has some lizardmen, gnolls, green-skinned "goblins", and blue-skinned "genies". As a reminder: All images are copyrighted by their respective owners (DUH!).

  14. Pirate and Caribbean portraits Hi Everyone! Since the last time I posted about Fantasy Art and Portraits, a section on Tradewinds 2 has been added! Tradewinds 2 is good for classic pirate pictures and 1700's Caribbean characters. Most of the characters are "non-heroic" looking, so these are probably best used for NPCs you need to describe or when your PC dons a disguise to go incognito.

  15. Re: Fantasy Art Thread Hi Everyone! I've started a gamer/writer resource website that links to portrait galleries. As Players, you can surf it to find a portrait for your character sheet, or find interesting-looking characters as PC inspirations. As Dungeon Masters, you can do the same. Since there are literally hundreds of portraits, you can use the galleries to find a picture for just about every NPC you have to describe. You don't have to always show a picture to your players, but having a picture handy will help you decide what to describe about the NPC when the PCs encounter them. Everything is free to view, you're not charged anything or sold anything. Please have a look! -- http://www.fantasy-art-and-portraits.com (Please remember that the site is new and still under construction. Best to start with the Titan Quest; if you are looking for "mundane" NPC type portraits, try the Tradewinds area.) Update: Since the last time I posted about this, a section on Dungeon Siege: Legends of Aranna has been added!
