Seems to be, with the possible exception of Dragonlance but I haven't played in the setting. :)

They're also usually one of the tallest playable races, which covers the "big" part nicely. Usually if I'm not playing the tallest in the party, it's because I'm playing the shortest. You know. To be "different".

She's had a very very long time to think about her life and some the decisions she's made...
I finally realized what the deal was with the shadow on the left side of her face. I think you've moved past creepy and straight into just plain gross.

Is this the lightened version you were talking about?

You can read about Bruno's attempts to build a minotaur in Monster Hunters here:
http://westmarchsaga.wikia.com/wiki/...nters#Inhumans

So don't think she wasn't tempted, she just got swept up by the awesomeness of mummies.

No, but it appears that the Wiki and Flikr do different things to the picture. Which is very interesting...

I have a version without the mummyface if you'd prefer - but since I can't seem to upload to the wiki any more for some bizarre reason, I'll have to email it to you to put up for me.

I blame Harald387 for suggesting it. :) It was more an intellectual exercise than a strict plan. My serious other-character was a Demonspawn.

Have collected a lot of environment art ('this is what the place looks like') for my sf game by googling 'background art the old republic'.

Quite a lot of character and gear art as well.

I found it very useful, and even helped in the design of future events in the game.

Hope this is useful.

Years ago I did Rad Vixen, a radiation-theemed super. In accordance with my "I'm getting better" policy, I redid her through Lux. The new Rad Vixen.

The second looks better in general, but the boots on the first one look better, and the left thigh on the second looks tubular.

I haven't had a chance to revisit Kari, recently, but I'll try to redo her boots (I liked the first boots, I'll have to see if I can force them to work on V4).

However, for my GURPS IST game, I put together a OneNote folder so I've been trying to get it fleshed out. So, recently I did a new Argurous Astraph and Zell.

This is a family-friendly version of Argurous, as, apparently, she usually fights naked. And that's not the Forum Pervert's idea.

The arms on Argurous look oddly small. Or maybe it's the head that seems large; not sure, but there's something about the proportions that bothers me.

The head and thighs seem to match... but the arms look too small, to me at least.
