Ever put together a new character then sort through the available default character pics only to find there's none that really fit your character concept?
You're not alone. All of the available default portraits are exclusively from WotC published books. You can upload your own pics [note 150x150 pixel limit] but not everyone has the artistic bent to knock out a pic nilly willy.
Had a player running a female Triton. There are no female Triton pics available. So I said, no problem! I'll just knock one out. Spent a couple hours on it, and it didn't come out too bad, but the character died next game session. Then it occurred to me that other people might appreciate some new options for character portraits.
So what I've started is a freshare art board on my pinterest account. As of this posting I've got 17 shots on the board of character portraits I've done suitable for use with the DDB character builder. I've also got more pieces I'm working on. you can find the board at:
(I'd would post them here, but I'm still trying to figure out how.)
I'd like to invite other artists to do the same. Throw the artistically challenged a bone. A 150x150 jpeg isn't that much to give away, and it might just be the right morsel to get your talent noticed.
If you don't want to create a pinterest board, but know how to post pics here and would like to contribute, feel free to post appropriate pics in reply to this thread. Again note the size limit, it's kinda important.
