Mmm well it's odd they make it different for the body and then head.

RPG Image

It ranges in genre from fantasy, modern and sci-fi but there's a hundred or so 'dark skin' sorted images and some of them are fairly decent. Otherwise Pinterest is a good place to look (Better than google image search)

Yeah, the girl on your pic got a Celtic warpaint, Celtic torc and a chain mail very likely "borrowed" from some unlucky Roman legionnaire (this is a tube&yoke cut Roman chainmail vest).


Egyptian:



For Egypt you might also look for Egypt and Meroe godesses, queens and historical art. Better chance for something that is skin-showing but not skimpy. Especially since real Egyptian clothes weren't any kind of fantasy lingerie.

Just to add a little more griping:
Dang! It's so hard to find decent female pictures that aren't just fetish fuel! >_<
Or maybe my specifications are just incredibly narrow. I mean, how DARE I try to look for a female warrior clad in traditional viking armor? Or, even worse, a brown-skinned, rosewood-haired(Wut! You want a black woman WITHOUT black cornrows? Impossible!) woman dressed in ancient Egyptian armor? The cheek! :P

So I had an idea: What if we set up a sort of Request-an-avatar thread? A place where we could ask the community for specific avatar pictures, and if someone happened to have a picture just like that, or knew where to get it, they could help that person out?
Though I have to admit I'm not suggesting this purely out of altruistic reasons, I'm just tired of spending hours searching through pictures in the vain hope that, somewhere, out there, exists the exact kind of picture I'm looking for. xD

I would very much like this idea, if only because well-drawn green-haired ladies that aren't drawn in an Asian style are remarkably hard to come by. Some days it's enough just to make me think about bribing Neerepha to relax the rules for me just a teeeensy-tiny little bit.

Or a lot.

Probably a lot.

You might need to resize or crop them, but...

Vikings








Egyptian is a whole lot harder... even male armors show a lot skin, so females.... yeah, good luck on that one.

Green haired fantasy women

That's the first time I've seen the other one, though. Neat. :o
