I have an idea for a prospective agent, but his status is a bit complicated. He comes from an unpublished original universe that was intentionally designed to be bad. I was going through a really strange Meta-Fiction Experimental Stage in my writing. So I guess the question is, are there any objections to using that kind of a character?

I plan on writing a "Next Generation" fic, about James Potter II's first year at Hogwarts (and maybe expand it into a series, who knows). S, here's my question:
How do you guys feel about vampire students? Or, half-vampire (we know that's possible - Lorcan d'Eath), because I felt like expanding the British folk tales into the Potter-verse. I know, it sounds bad - a PPC member messing around the canon universe, but I feel like up for a challenge. So, what is your opinion? Also, anyone willing to Beta it?

Which is here: http://www.heromachine.com/heromachine-2-5-character-portrait-creator/
It has a rather realistic style (no super-deforming) and a good variety of options, even if you don't want to make superheroes..
I know how I will eventually be doing it. by

Honestly, I would use a program to custom make CGI models of my agents, but Star Trek Online is much faster, and almost as good. Seriously, it has the best character creator I've seen. A screen shot, a little trip through Gimp, and I have a new agent picture. I've done this professionally before, and I still do a little, but Star Trek Online would work really well if you don't have experience with things like Makehuman, Blender, or even Maya. I may discover a better method in time, and once figure it out, I'll share it.
Of course, if you want a 2d picture, Gimp is the best free option. If you have it or want it, either Coreldraw or Photoshop will work. If you are inexperienced, it is actually surprisingly easy with the latter two, to alter a photograph of a consenting friend, or yourself. It won't be perfect if you're really new, but you can go back later and make improvements once you're more experienced. Hope this wasn't too long winded or rambley.

I can't do a normal Caucasian skin tone, but if you check out my agents on the Wiki (Valon, Kala, and Gabby) their pictures are hand-drawn because there were things that just plain couldn't be done in a character generator. Like Kala's entire bottom half.
Why is Chakkik excluded? There's already official artwork of a Mantis Ant, which is what I used.
By the way, Gabby's chest is actually small for a MonMusu hobgoblin. I just can't draw them that big, eheheh.

That said, the primary one used on the wikia is basically used for Gaia Online avatars. If you want to see a different kind, you can check out the website Doll Divine, which has a lot of individual different ones.
