Hiya! Such an amazing and awesome and Informative site!! Every time I log off I find myself coming back here again and again ever since I joined, which was sometime yesterday. Anyway!! I just did my first Playby donation and am curious about using the real name of the individual in the image? The site I currently roleplay is more... let's get into the chat room. I poked around alot ople gtthis site and have seen MANY intriguing and interesting things, yes, I have! Sheesh... ok.. this other site I'm at have people who create avatars for the roleplay and for wearing them on the boards. There's the main forum and then each home has a forum as well. I LOVE FORUM roleplay and actually prefer doing that rather than entering a chat room, but!! There are times when the room roleplay does come in handy. Good grief... I hunt for images in my free time and images I find are usually for a character or because whatever the image contained, appealed to me so I kept it, but when the Designers who are creating an avatar or board set for me get the image provided, they want to make sure there aren't any watermarks or copyright that would render the image damaged and they don't want to know who the person is unless they know them already due to popularity/exposure. It is ok that the image or set of images given to the Playby is ok, isn't it? Just curious!

This is an Avatar Specific Topic Your Graphic Mod here is working on an Avatar dump for the pre-made graphic section. These will be free use for players to use for whatever reason. This is a quick little survey to find out what kind of things people would like to have available here. Things like signatures and site banners etc will be included eventually as well. What character type depictions are you interested in (i.e. human, dragon, mermaids etc)? Do you prefer complex or simple images? Colorful or black/white? Any playby recommendations? Any images you would like to suggest?

So how much does your favored media influence your choice in face claims/playbys? Like if you watch a lot of anime, is that why you prefer anime face claims? If you're into popular movies, does this influence the faces you decide to use? I believe that what we consume in the media definitely has some kind of bearing on the visual reps we decide to use. I was thinking about this because I do tend to use RL Asian faces because that is the media I'm most acquainted with. But I also consume, say, Stranger Things (I use a few faces from it) and other things, etc. Or do you guys purposely choose people you don't know? How about you artists? Do you prefer drawing your characters? Let's talk about it!

So I saw this post in the unpopular opinions thread. It's an opinion I've seen from time to time, and it got me thinking. When I choose a playby for my character, I'm "casting" them as I would in a TV show or movie. I've never thought this to be at all strange, since I do that subconsciously when I read books as well - Sirius Black will always be Mandy Patinkin as Inigo Montoya to me, sorry Gary Oldman! SO, what about you? Do you "cast" faces for your characters, find people who roughly represent them but may not be ~it, or do you prefer to eschew PBs altogether? Why? Does it vary depending on the board you're on? DISCUSS, MY PRETTIES.

How do you feel about suggested playbys? Do you like them or dislike them? Do they help to provide a possible face? I'm going to be putting up wanted ads soon I wanted other people's thoughts on it.
