player avatars

[mortal]

are there any good sites to download player avatars for the various charted space races?

I've seen some for sale on DTRPG.
I made a Portrait Pack thread here on the forums, made in response to the last request for avatars, but there didn't seem to be much interest in them.
Adobe Stock has an AI hell-scape if you are into that.

If I ever play an Aslan, I'm using a portrait of one of my cats. For a Vargr, I'd use Mr. Peanutbutter.

Are there big cats variants to the typical lion aslans?

Technically, Aslan aren't even feline, so I doubt it.

I dunno about good sites. I just use the evil ones.

In YTU you can have racial variation for Aslan, sure. There has been a little bit in the canon although they are largely presented as racially homogenous, but to be honest you may as well make up fur colour and pattern variation, small regional feature differences and so on if that suits you. Most of that stuff is unlikely to be noticed by aliens unless they're xenobiologists specialising in Aslan. But if it's a striking fur pattern variation everyone with eyes that register those wavelengths will notice.

And there's always personal decoration. You could have a local fad among the restless youth to dye their fur in tiger stripes, because one of them decided Terran tigers are cool. Or because Death Metal Tiger KIllers are their favourite band.

In the game I'm in, there are a couple of aslan characters and their players created avatars using AI. Something like an anthropomorphic cat wielding a big gun, that sort of thing.

And don't forget to add in the word photorealistic. And check you've put in cat and not can.

I had a long conversation with the Google one about rolling up a MGT2e character. It kept missing little rules, until it finally spat the dummy and refused to keep trying, since it was OBVIOUSLY not up to the task.

I tried to be encouraging, but no. It seemed to be too embarrassed and would not roll any more characters up.
