Character sketcher: Doll Divine

Bear with me here . . .

Doll Divine  is a website that has a vast array of little engines for creating virtual dressup dolls in various genres.  Some may be too cartoony or "pre-teen-girly" to really set the right tone for certain role-playing gamers tastes.  But, the wide variety of templates available can still provide a quick, go-to utility for trying to visually portray a character.

• Effing Worms - An evolving worm trying to devour the area's technologically advancing inhabitants.

• Wormland - More along the lines of space slugs or Duneish Makers.

Everlong (Foo Fighters)

An oldie but a goody.

Great portrayal of marauding tulpa, free-ranging nightmarish archetypes preying on the dreams of others. Also a neat example of dream shaping combat.
