Character Portraits, sometimes also referred to as Fantasy Portraits, can be defined in several ways.  For the most part, these are portraits where I capture the face of the subject and put it on any persona they desire.  These are usually faeries, mermaids, superheroes and medieval/fantasy warriors. 

However, I will sometimes use a description instead of a subject's photo.  These are usually used by role-players, writers and costume designers who want a visual reference of their character, costume or idea. 

These also break down into 2 major fields, the more portrait-like, usually performed in Prismacolor Pencil, are what I think of as "Fantasy Portraits", and are more realistic (and a touch pricier).  The more stylized, "comic-book" like portraits (mostly all but the left row) are used more by the role-players and writers and are usually pencil, pen & ink or computer color.  Click on the thumbs below to view the full-size images, or thumb through them after clicking the first.  You can check out the rates on this service on my RATES page.

(With the exception of Superheroes; which goes to its own sub-site, there's a lot to see!), the rest are all contract pieces.
