A cool wind drifts through the canopie rustling the leaves of the Athel Loren, a woodland squirrel pokes his head up from his business below a mighty oak tree and sniffs the air. Time to harvest the nuts and tuck them away, Summer has past.
Ok this signifies the end of our Challenge, we have had 5 entrants which I encourage everybody to have a look at and vote for your favourite.
The Challenge was to create an Avatar in a likeness to yourself...
GeoffDiGeoff
The model is "The Twilight Sisters riding on GeoffDiGeoff" GeoffDiGeoff is a giant black eagle, cousin of Gwindalor who takes over as trusty steed when Gwindalor is away on holiday. His stat line is the same as Gwindalor's but has an additional rule;
Shadow in the wood: Due to the darkness of GeoffDiGeoff's feathers, he is incredibly difficult to see. This means that all ranged attacks against suffer a -1 to hit in addition to any other modifiers.
My painting isn't that great, but I like the way the base turned out, and being able to string the bows was nice (I used my wife's hair). I've tried to show the ying/yang difference between the sisters, by painting Naestra in lighter colours and her arrows a fiery colour (to indicated flaming), while Arahan is darker coloured and her arrows are green (to indicate poison).
I chose to be the eagle, mainly because it's the only time in my life that I will ever be ridden by sisters! *buh dum tish*
Archaeoman
Per my name, I tried to make an archaeologist-spellweaver...with poor eye-sight like me (so hence, eye patch!).
Gwindalor, Obtainer of Rare Antiquities

BeaverBeliever
I've always thought it'd be really cool to be a Waywatcher, and now that there's a Waywatcher character, that's the guy I'd want to be! Sneaking around in the forest undetected, shooting off sniper shots and then disappearing into the trees sounds right up my alley.
That's it folks, don't forget to vote and if I've missed anyone from the list who thinks they've entered and I haven't posted a picture then please let me know.
Good luck and thanks to everyone who entered,
Frogboy
