NPC Pictures

[MADMANMIKE]

Hey, does anyone have any sites they use for pictures of your NPCs? What I'm looking for are some examples of the art that is in the Heroes book that shows normal people, not super heroed types. Military, cops, suits, common people, etc..

..I use Poser 4 to do a basic 3d model of my NPC's and print them. I can post them online though, what are you looking for specifically? Fat, short, tall, skinny, bald, hairy, facial hair, black, white, asian, male, female etc.?

We found a program called Hero Machine. It has some very basic forms, and then it has various articles of clothing, facial features, colors, etc. that you can put over the basic form. The entire gaming group has used it to create pictures of almost all of the characters, the GM seems to be having waaaay too much fun visualizing new bad guys with it, and we are even using it to create a group picture of all the characters together.

Yeah, I've used Hero Machine, but don't really have the time to put pictures together.

I'm looking for military types, officers, and etc. various age, sex, height, etc.

Do a yahoo or google search with "stock photos X," X being what you want pictures of, and you shoudl come up with some hits for just about anything. For instance, I just did "stock photos military personnel," and this page was the third listing. That should be a good start.

Stock photos is good, particularly if you want to portray real people. I like to bring the pictures into PhotoShop when needed and put in a few 'unusual physical characteristics' as well. I'm especially proud of the Elven ears I put on one of my NPCs.

Oh, I also found out that Under Ground Online added Heromachine 2.0 to its Heromachine offerings... You can find it here:
