Who do you use to draw pictures of your favorite characters?

Google search, if there is nothing appropriate on this site ;)

Actually, here in college I live on the "DAAP" Floor of my dorm. DAAP stands for "Design, Architecture, Art and Planning" here at the University of Cincinnati. Needless to say, I have a lot of talent at my disposal. For 3 or 4 bucks (or a few beers) I can get a pretty good sketch of whatever character I want. I just let them look at my D&D books as a point of reference to see sort of what genre the art is, and then they have at it.

Nice. I used to know a guy in town who did them, but I haven't kept in touch. Now I use a comic book artist who does single drawings on the side.

I draw my characters myself. Or sometimes I won't draw it, because it's to beautiful in my head, and it will be ruined if I bring it on paper :P

I've copied pictures out of the manuals and changed their attire (or ears, or weapons) to suit my character's needs. :)

I use less than deviant (http://www.gravyboy.com/brian/index.html) art. Yes, he drew and colored the one at the top of the page, too.

I use my craptacular capabilities (http://www.nazro.net/sketchbook).

I just tell Hiryuu how cool my characters are until he decides he just has to draw one "for practice", and then I'm good to go :)

But really, we've got an entire board for art, and there are lots of people there that are happy to whip something up for you real quick like if you ask them.

The dwarf done in biro was based on the dude in the eberron book smiting a giant.
