Okay, a once in a lifetime (well, not really I suppose, but that description sounds neat) has comeith to ye; that is to say, I'm willign to create any single Player Character for mass consumption by the populace here, there, or anywhere where AV players are to be found. The reason for this? Wel, a friend of mine on another forum, is a graphic artist- and damn good one at that- who dose many designs in the same sort of style that AV character portraits are done in- I was talking to him, via PM on that forum, and I was askign what happend to his link to an art site called "elfwood", and commented that soem of his art thier woudl go very well as Char Portraits in this little game called Avernum- well one, thing led to another, and he has offered to do a custom portrait for me :D so, I figured that perhaps it woudl be best to leave the exact choice of what ismade up to the people who play AV- I have most of my own wants for char portiats taken care of, so I dont, necessarily, need to use this for any character concept of my own. so, gather one, gather all, from near or far, here or there- get every one you know who plays AV, and has ever wanted thier own unique character crewated to come here, and make a post. RULES 1)For starters, I belive I will be using a random number generator to choose which entry is chosen to be made -UNLESS- thier is an outcry for one particuler idea, in which it will win by default 2)if thier are less then 10 entires, I dont knwo if I will bother with this little random lot, and will just go for soem sort of frige idea I might come up with for a character- so it is to your benifit to tell everyone you know abotu this contest, and have them enter it 3)each person who enter may have ONE idea submitted by a post- if you have more then one idea, then you'll have to get a friend to submit it for you or somthing 4)you must clear, and offer a good descritpion, or even pictures or sketches from variosu other sources, at what you want your character to look like; you must specify sex of character, physical features, skin colour, what sprt of role your character has and what not, so that I can make a good in game graphic, and my friend, a good offical portrait. 5)I have not decided when the submissions will end- but no more then two weeks will be alloted to submissions, and likelly only one week, ending by next sunday 6)if your character is choosen, please dont expect them to be made in hurry- we do this of our charity, and good will, and for me at least, can only work on this when I both have the free time, and desire to work on it, which is somtimes fleeting, at best- so a full out character could take some substantial time to fully flesh out- but it will be worth it, in the end, when you have your dream graphic created :) Posts: 59 | Registered: Friday, December 24 2004 08:00 |

We have female humans, female sliths, but no female nephils (that I can tell). How about one? -------------------- My ego is bigger than yours. Posts: 480 | Registered: Thursday, October 11 2001 07:00 |

hmmm; I'll actuall yhave to experiment and see if I can make such an ingame graphic look cool to be honest with you- it be new for me, as I;ve never been particulerya endeared to the Nephil mind you, so I''ll need to practice significantlly if this request is choosen (and it turns out to be in my realm of skills) Posts: 59 | Registered: Friday, December 24 2004 08:00 |

Hey, we don't know about slith customs. Maybe that's the only male slith, and all the others are female. :P -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

I absolutely agree that there should be a female Nephil. I flipped through the character portraits when I decided to remake Rosalia to a Nephil, only to discover that there were none. It isn't that it's so imperitive so much as that it's needed for completeness :P If this turns into a which idea gets the most support thing, thats what I support. But if its random character portraits, I'd personally like to see my own character made, of course :P a human in a black long coat (Almost like a trench coat, more medieval) with matching hat (I'll find a photo of one of the hats....give me time) holding a blade at his side. I know of a few pictures, I just need to grab screenshots of them. One picture is in an old SNES game called X-Caliber, I'm hunting for the particular screenshot I need :P but it shows the blade and position well, and I'll get pics of the coat and hat soon enough if needed.

I could do with a human characterwith a darker feel to it. Preferably male. Same kinda style as the one in the PC set you made (good job by the way). Somthing along the lines of the mages in the default Avernum set, but with a more melee look to em. -------------------- "But The Damage is Irreversible" Posts: 358 | Registered: Monday, October 27 2003 08:00 |

quote:None of the Matrix movies were worth the price of admission, unless you just like special effects and the first one had less to do with Plato's Cave analogy than it had to do with Taoist philosophy(the whole "Butterfly dreaming it's a man" nonsense) whihc had been done on film before and much better elsewhere. If I were forced to say two good things about The Matrix, it would be "Lawrence Fishburne".

Female Dark Elf Battlemage. On a side note, since when was the abreviation for Avernum, "AV"? I literally felt sick everytime I encountered it in your post. -------------------- DEMON PLAY, DEMON OUT! Posts: 1582 | Registered: Wednesday, November 13 2002 08:00 |

I think we need a female nephil too. I don't really care about what she looks like, as long as it's well-drawn and looks like a nephil and not an anime catgirl or a leopard or something else non-nephil. -------------------- My Myspace, with some of my audial and visual art The Lyceum - The Headquarters of the Blades designing community The Louvre - The Blades of Avernum graphics database Alexandria - The Blades of Exile Scenario database BoE Webring - Self explanatory Polaris - Free porn here Odd Todd - Fun for the unemployed (and everyone else too) They Might Be Giants - Four websites for one of the greatest bands in existance -------------------- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Posts: 2957 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

quote:well, you might point to where the older abbreviation for Avernum was, before "AV"- an abbreviation I have encountered elsewhere mind you, so it has a set precedent for use. Posts: 59 | Registered: Friday, December 24 2004 08:00 |

The character I front for random selection is Solodric, a human mage in a black trench coat and hat (adjust to medi-evalness as needed :P ) holding a sword at his side. I WILL get that screenshot of the pic I need, really I will :P but basicly, it's a longsword with a very small guard (Just enough so keep fingers from slipping onto the blade) brown handle, wrapped in leather, a white blade (Contrast to black clothing :P ) which he holds at his side. On a side note, he has no visible skin - long shirt, coat, gloves, cant see his face beneath the shadow of his hat, etc., Posts: 125 | Registered: Friday, February 13 2004 08:00 |
