Great work 12rounds. Nothing adds flavour quite like an illustration. The written work is very good too and should definately be included in the wiki.

First, thank you all for making a newcomer feel welcome!
I've never really dabbled into that territory. I would be inclined to say "no" at the moment since I don't really know where to even begin and that would naturally take limited time away from character illustrations. But who knows?
Honestly I don't even know what the acronym VTT even stands for and I've never ever made a single top down token before. So this here is the first. Maybe there are some guidelines lying around, but this token is easily changed if need be.
Yea well, thanks, but English is not my native language (it's my third actually), so anything I write would have to be grammar and spell-checked by a native speaker.
Ok. so after Picking up my jaw off the ground... all I have to say is WOW. As SG already stated. VTT's are virtual table tops. Made original so that people who were not in the same room could still play together and see the same Map and using tokens (such as the one you made in the last post as a virtual miniature on the software. Redrobes on this forum actually wrote ViewingDale. Likewise, Trevor wrote Maptool
OpenRPG, Battlegrounds, and several others on the market. They range from free to pay for GM only to play for each copy and each has their own strenghts and weaknesses.
As for the token, SWEET. The only thing I would say to make it better would be that most people using top down tokens have the resolution set to 100,150, or 200 px per inch for good zooming in, and most top downs expect stuff not part of the body/clothing/gear to be transparent png. You can take a quick look over at fouruglymonsters.com or rpgmapshare.com for a few other examples. Also, FYI, you could make a bit of side money producing portraits and tokens of this quality. Of course, if you give them away for free, that will not hurt my feelings any!!!!
