Pictures of some characters and players
Welcome to those of you who found this page through an image search. Know that I take steps to prevent hotlinking to images on my site, and that I occasionally change image names and replace hotlinked images with something that will embarrass the hotlinker. You have been warned :-).
(Click on the thumbnails to see the full-size pictures.)
* (right) Yet another version of Roland in
Rowdyruff Boy mode, after being sent into the the Powerpuff Girls
tooniverse.
* (left) Some actual photos of Roland, one of
which is the subject of an ongoing caption contest.
* Another version of Roland from HeroMachine; something like how he
imagines the Blaze armor.
* There's another picture of Roland as Defender on his
character page.
We've discovered a nifty utility called "HeroMachine," that allows
non-artists to create visuals of their characters. Several of us have done
this, and the results are on the CAoL / Heromachine
page.
Martin sent these as possible images of Dhyrclhanc. He says, "The
'Malgromoth' (left) isn't quite right but it does a pretty good job at
capturing what I imagine is the spirit, if not the exact appearance, of
everyone's lovable Lensdragon. Likewise, 'Wisdom' (right) would easily pass for
a portrait of Dhyrclhanc and Synthea together in a notably more Classical
Medieval setting than the CAoL usually find themselves in."
("Malgromoth" figurine by Enchantica, "Wisdom" by Nene
Thomas)
Later, Martin adds these: "Smaug" by the
Franklin Mint (left), which was apparently only available by direct mail
promotion in 2002. Martin says, "The head and face leave something to
be desired but the body is almost spot on. };=8D Except for those darn back,
neck and tail spines, of course. <sigh>" Right, the Red Dragon
by Sam Wood, from the
D&D
Monster Manual, 3rd. Ed. Martin says, "I think that the face and
head just captures DC's smirk and snarky, or nearly so, attitude just
perfectly." A larger image is available in the
Art
Gallery: Monster Manual v.3.5
Dhyrclhanc sent this collage of his 'bot companion, Dasher.
Gamer sent this photo of Driscoll and his trusty rapier. Since we don't see
Roscoe, can we assume he's the one behind the camera ;-)?
Nimrod, scanned in from another of Roland's gaming books for Dhyrclhanc.
This is a drawing of Xzerrion, sent by his writer.
Dhyrclhanc described his new (at the time) form as "not that of a dragon,
... he appears to be a humanoid pterodactyl the color of the rising sun, and
his eyes now have irises, steel-blue irises flecked with gold." This form,
he says, is similar to a T'Skrang from "Earthdawn," but with dragon
wings. Roland found this drawing of a T'Skrang in his gaming books.
This is sort of how I picture Morgan Greywolf. Can't you just almost see the
claymore slung over her back?
I've added a page that collects some of the many pictures of Morgan from our
various sites on one page.
* There's another picture of Morgan, in her supers mode, on her
character page on Roland's site.
Here are a couple of pictures of Roland and Morgan in their mundane guises as
Peter and Lorena. The one on the left was to show off the engagement rings
(they don't come across too well in the JPEG, though), and the one on the right
is just the two looking happy. These were taken in June 1997, and Roland and
Morgan still have the same goofy-in-love smiles :-).
I found a picture of the painting "Eyes in the Mist" by Daniel
Pierce. This is kind of how I envision Cutter and Leetah. I've only found this
artwork on items available from the National
Wildlife Federation catalog, which is where I found this image. This is a
shower curtain, so the picture is a little distorted.
