Yeah, as Kumachan said, not many pictures of Ekin Cheng with a hat (because his hair is so luxurious), but I have found various pictures of him in costumes that fit for L5R. :)

Another suitor has been prettified, a ronin this time.

Everything is proceeding according to plan.

What do you have in mind? Something like the Pierce Brosnan-style you already have? :)

Suteichi actually provided a good picture for me, just need to resize it. Always on the look out for more options though. Traditional and stoic would be good adjectives, also somewhat young.

*raises hand*

I had an avatar picked out, but I noticed that she has purple hair, and that same pic in black hair is not the same <_<

17-ish lady leaning more Rokugani than gaijin, preferably smiling, if anyone has anything useful?

Thank you!

Purple hair in pictures is not necessarily a reality so much as a convention for representing a culture with almost all the same hair color with a little more variety. In other words, purple is not necessarily purple.

That said?

I'm told these are the equivalent of Chinese bodice ripper covers. Many, many young smiling women in genre appropriate clothing, and an unfortunately large number of repeat images.

A few options from that collection:

1
2 (I think that's more a lilac than a pink?)
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

Samai, I don't have the mad avatar-matching-fu of some of our compatriots, but I do have a pinterest board I've been gradually adding potential RPG avatar stuff to over time, and it's got some possibly Unicorn-suitable ladies in both photo and that same sort of soft-illustration style--lmk if you'd like the link. (That goes for other ladies and gentlemen too!)

If you have a Photobucket account, it actually has the tools to edit it yourself, and when you save, it automatically transfers to your bucket.

Cropped, and resized to 140x140.

And... I get Ninja'd by Tomoe, times three!

I find that the Photobucket-editing tends to lessen the quality of the image, compared to Photoshop. I've used it a few times when I haven't had my Photoshop open (and I've been lazy) and for really small stuff it's fine, but for avatar-size, I tend to notice that some of the quality is reduced.

Or I'm just imagening things? :?

My plan to prettify everyone is working quite excellently!
