Fantasy Portrait Marathon
I wanted to drop a quick plug that will benefit OpenGameArt, OSARE (my game project), and especially user Justin Nichol.
Announcing the Creative Commons Fantasy Portrait Marathon!
Justin is taking pledges towards creating 30 high-quality fantasy portraits. They will be featured in OSARE as PC portrait choices or story-line NPCs. Additionally these portraits will be uploaded to OpenGameArt under CC-BY-SA and GPL licenses. Finally, these pledges will help Justin attend his next semester at Concept Art Academy in Pasadena.
A $50 pledge gets you a fantasy portrait in your likeness! Maybe you'll even be the first vendor, quest NPC, or villain of OSARE...
See some of Justin's other high-quality portraits here on OpenGameArt:

I am so backing this!
"a likeness you provide" means "based on an image or description you provide"?
Yea Q. It's supposed to be so people could provide the likeness of a loved on instead of themselves and give the portrait as a gift. Photos are much better than descriptions if you want an actual likeness of the person in mind and not just a general similarity.

Yeah but with the description you can pretend to be a mighty muscled Conan or a beautiful elven princ supermodel :)

Congratulations on the $1500 ... also it's pretty damn awesome that the CEO and Vice-President of Creative Commons pledged for this project.
