Hey this may be a weird thread, so it can be deleted it necessary.

I am really interested in writing fantasy but I can never really get a good story going. It will start and just plummel to the ground. I recently decided I was going to write a story based on me and my friends, fantasy of course.

So what does this have to do with art? Well I am not a great artist, so I was wondering if anyone could inspire me with some art of the characters that would be in the story. Below are quick descriptions, post here or send a PM if you can help or need a more thorough description, here it goes.

Main Character: Long hair, light armor armor, wields a spear, kind of a mystical look to him.

Warrior-ish guy: Full body armor, buzzed hair, 2 handed sword.

Thief-ish guy: Asian look to him, Oriental dress clothing with a little thievish tone to him, black clothes. Dagger/Daggers/Katars (Character is asian)

Light Swordsman: (Character is also asian) Chinese broad sword (kind of like a scimitar), and light leather armor. Hair is just kind of up, sort of like a bedhead look, I don't know how to explain it, a lot of asians I see have this look to them :D.

Bad guy: Deformed looking, One big axe or throwing axes, deformed spine, bent over. Buckish teeth and wears glasses.

If anyone could draw one or all of the characters it would help me a lot, and if not, oh well.

Delete the thread if necessary.

Well, the evil guy will be boneyish. The Warrior type is a little heavy set but not to the point where he is tubby, the theif is thin, the main character guy is about normal, and the other swordsman is normal also

okay, first attempt =P picture is called rough, it's a group pic of the good guys should be first one listed for now... i think i did a good job on the asian look with the thief, but his head is a bit small even for an asian guy. anyway i'm not quite sure if expressions fit the personalitys but it was a try.

I actually just read this post yesterday, and an image of one of the characters popped into my head. Give me a couple days and I'll try to post it. Might not be what you wanted, very asian style.

*bleh! I'm sorry for the delay, need to replace the batteries on my tablet, so it'll take a bit longer.
