Lets all get together and make a thread where someone posts their character concept, stats, or whatever, and then another person comes along to find (or create/modify) a picture for that character?
I'm basing this thread off of a similar thread over on WotC's D&D forums which, was not only inspired by yours truly, but also has 14,000+ posts and is still going on strong more than 5 years after it was created!
I see no reason why all of us Pathfinder fans can't do better! Also, if you haven't had the chance to see it yet, head on over to my Crazy Character Emporium, where you are sure to find inspiration for a new character!
For example, let's say you posted a description of a Gandalf/Merlin/Dumbledore hybrid wizard; I might then post something like this. Or if you were trying to find the perfect portrait for a dirty dwarven blacksmith, I might provide you with this image.
Please also give credit to the original artist and, whenever possible, get their permission.

Backstory, Born aboard his fathers ship "A Salt Weapon" He sailed for over 22 years sailing the seas of Golarion learning the ancient and powerful art of summoming, however upon learning he often wondered he often contemplated why he never saw his fathers eidolon..Hmmm.
That was until the typhoon hit..Duh Duh Duuuuh.
Unbeknownst to him his father made a deal with his eidolon "Save my son and you will have your freedom".
It is his eternal disgrace that he did not meet his end during the storm that claimed his ship, his fathers eidolon, now his, being the beautiful maidenhead figurehead of the ship, still drips brine and trails splintered broken wood behind her. Now she visits Argen at night helping him set aside his guilt through helping others.

If there is one thing I love more than "powergaming" however that is defined. Is great character development and that was exactly was I was looking for.
I'm feeling inspired to start a new positive thread, tito hand me a tissue!

That is pretty sweet, however, I was thinking more old school. Maybe a little more "Harryhausen" you know Jason and the argonauts, Sinbad and the golden voyage circa 1968.

Twenty posts in 2.5 hours. At this rate, we will catch up to the WotC thread in...
*crunches some numbers*
...about 118 days.
Any more volunteers to make this a reality? :P
EDIT: And just to be clear, we need volunteers on BOTH sides. The other thread was so successful because people actively participated.

I'm playing a Kellid Druid right now.
I have no memories of the land of the Mammoth Lords--my sister and I were raised in the River Kingdoms. Our father taught us to hunt and trap so we could continue the family business, but I never had a head for that sort of thing--my sister runs the store, now, even though I'm older.
While I was hunting out on my own in the far north of the River Kingdoms, I encountered other Kellid hunters, and was drawn into their world. The encounter was complicated, but the short of it is that I learned a little about my ancestral culture and my family's disgrace that was hidden from me. Confused, ashamed, and intrigued, I sort of ran away from home to the Realm of the Mammoth Lords to live with these hunters and learn their ways.
They taught me the ways of the Druid and the faith of my people and I made it my goal to be the greatest hunter alive to make up for my father's disgrace and make sure the family lived on in the eyes of the ancestors.
I was born "civilized," but am kind of a "barbarian poser" now, as I tried to mimic the look of the Kellid people I learned from. I don't wear a lot (unless armor is called for--I have a Dragonscale Breastplate), but I have Kellid tribal tattoos. I keep myself clean thanks to my upbringing, but I have my hair in dreadlocks, as that is the "primitive" custom.
My goal is to be recognized as the world's greatest hunter, so I keep and wear trophies of my significant hunts. I guess I accessorize with body parts--bone beads or feathers in my hair, claw necklaces, fang bracelets, etc.
At the moment, I'm level 4, and my signature weapon so far has been my scythe--but I have clubs and spears, too, so it doesn't matter. I don't shapeshift much, yet, because I won't have natural spell until next level, but when I do for combat, my favored form is a deinonychus. My companion is also a deinonychus, but there's no need to include that in the picture.
I'm wondering if such a picture exists--I bet not, since I tried very hard to find something when I made the character, and I've never been satisfied with what I ended up.

Alright I'll bite. Let's try one of my tengu oracles from PFS.
Seimei Kokuriyo (no, I could not think of a better name), CG Oracle of Life 4 with the Blackened curse.
STR: 12
DEX: 12
CON: 12
INT: 12
WIS: 10
CHA: 21
Has the Claw Attack alternate racial ability, as well as the Energy Body revealation.
As for being an oracle, she's not devoted to any particular god (going with the whole "tengu are oppurtunistic polytheistic" thing) but does believe in journeys of self-discovery. She's usually incredibly cheerful though ditzy and easily distracted, trying to find the best in people and vows to help those she calls her friend. She is, however, a pyromaniac, and greatly enjoys fire spells, fire items, etc--she even learned Goblin so she could talk with goblins about the art of setting things on fire. She had her first revealation when she was a kid and accidentally set herself on fire during one of her pyromanaical stunts, but somehow positive energy flowed through her, healing her quickly except for her arms, which remained badly burnt. As a result, she always wears heavy bandages on her talons and arms, but is more than happy to show you her burns and talk about how she got them.
Also,
Any good?

I have to add to this. Just be warned, we roll stats.
Jayce Wayland, Human Bladebound Kensai Magus 14.
Str: 14 (20 with Belt)
Dex: 20
Con: 15
Int: 19
Wis: 10
Cha: 13
Traits: Mercenary, Magical Lineage (Chill Touch)
Blackblade is a Bastard Sword made from a strange black metal that isn't adamantine. (Found in a ruined temple to a god of magic)
I tend to 2-hand my Bastard Sword after buffing myself and casting Chill Touch, then swing until the charges run out and recast it.
After their initial job, Jayce stayed with the group out of a mutual respect for the two Half-Elf brothers that led the team and a slight romantic dalliance with the female Oracle of life. Now, he throws himself into battle to try and grow more famous than his father, and possibly win the heart of the Oracle.

I've got a Tiefling Soulknife (Deadly Fist, so think Monk) I can't find a good picture for.
He's LG, Str based, and I want him to look very stern/intimidating, even though he's a kind person.
Thanks for any help in advance.

In addition, she took the vows of honesty & silence as a further testament to her dedication to self-control.

How about this? Or this one? One more.
Ok, mine. Just curious to see if anyone comes up with something besides a tweaked Damiel. Elven alchemist raised by communist dwarves, who's civilization is based heavily on an idealized version of the Soviet Union. Wields a sickle and throws his bombs. Wisdom is his dump-stat.

Tassalar Braelly Odriel Almund Eshera Sorrinash
Female Samsaran Storm Druid (Storms Domain)
Deity: Gozreh (is there another?)
Alignment: True Neutral
Campaign: Skulls & Shackles
Str 8
Dex 14
Con 9
Int 15
Wis 18
Cha 10
Skills: Intimidate, Knowledges (Geography, History, Nature), Perception, Sense Motive, Profession (Sailor)
A Samsaran with more past lives than names, Tassalar has been brought forth as a female in this life. She strives for knowledge and understanding first and foremost as her lifes long goal is to become the personal Herald of Gozreh. Though she is frail, she does not fear combat but rather welcomes the opportunity to hone her magics on those who've unknowingly made themselves her sheep. Having lived many lives already, she does not fear death - Gozreh provides.
I envision her dressing very hippy - long, wavy hair, seaweed interlaced into it. As a Samsaran, she has no discernible pupils, and light blue skin tones. She also has a total of 74 only slightly darker blue tattoos running down her arms and legs. Each tattoo represents the accomplishments of a previous life, though she remembers only tiny flashes of these lives.

Or this (Avatar Picture)Wow, Avatar - how did I not make that connection. Also, Tassalar is average size for a Samsaran woman - 6' 6", 150 lbs, so this is perfect! I'll have to try to find some avatar miniature that I can paint - nice call.

Egypt.... I mean osirion dwarven monk that left it behind to become a pirate and drunken monk. High con,str and wisdom. Shaves his head, braids the beard, sometimes has henna tattooed on face and body. Fights with spiked gloves, wears a besmaran tricorne or helm of underwater action depending on the need.

He's smart and extremely dexitrous, but a total sociopath. He's depressed that nobody other than his few friends (the party) trust him. He IS a good guy. Wears a hamaraki and wields a scimitar. He is NEVER caught without his hat, which has a a big (almost as tall as him) feather on it.
I'd love to see if anyone can find a pic for HIM.
