|  | Finding Character's Picture

I know, with the rules and everything, it is very difficult to find a decent picture. Hopefully this will help you. I am going to repeat a little bit of the rules.
Quote:When finding pictures for your character to put in your signature, here are the rules: No perfect makeup, no modern conveniences in background, and no modern clothes. I know it is very hard to find decent pictures like that, but you just have to look everywhere. I don't care if the picture is from a movie.
Example of bad picture: http://galleries.lycos.co.uk/d/14692-3/keira-knightley.jpg
Why is this a bad picture? Modern conveniences, land, people, makeup and overall appearance.
Example of good picture: http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s95/annaelainenolte/keira_knightley.jpg
Why is this a good picture? Though her makeup and appearance border on the perfect side, her clothes and weapon fit in perfectly. This was taken from a movie, and yes, I am using the picture for one of my characters. |

Now, here are some things you could look up on Google Image, to find a good picture. You may raise an eyebrow at some of the things, but you'd be suprised what you'd find that might work.
"Pirate" or "Pirate Lord" or "Piratess"
"Elf" or "Water Elf" or "Wood Elf"
"Rogue" or "Warrior" or "Warrioress"
"Archer" or "Archeress" or "Female Archer"
"Knight" or "Knightess" or "Robin Hood"
Things like that. Don't feel bad for taking it out of a movie. Remember, there's always Pirates Of The Carribean and Lord of the Rings. Both clothing would fit. Good luck!
Update: I have decided to let you have land in the picture, because I know how hard it is to find a decent picture without it. Plus, the land can be their fantasy or imagination.
