This is what I imagine Darlok would look like:

It's Manshoon from Forgotten Realms, and it would make a really neat avatar for Darlok, if he's interested.

If he had no mask on then it would look nice for him, if that is a mask.

But Darlok is a human... That guy doesnt resemble any kind of human... Besides, Darlok already has an avatar...

A nice picture.

Is the red hair at the front a beard or a part of the armor?

If that is a beard, it sure is a long one, and differs from the hair color.

I used photoshop on it to cheack it out it is hair but it is attached to the armmor not his face . *mayby from a old high ranking drawf*

Val: It's a decorative helmet, perfect for the helmeted Darlok.

Grant: He's human.

Darlok: I think it's supposed to be dwarven or ladies' hair, cut and woven into a robe.

I just got this image in my head when I thought of Darlok. Manshoon is rich, powerful, evil, and always wearing a helmet. Sound familiar?

Edited to add: Darlok's inspired me. I'm making a villain character. Not a strong and powerful one like him, though. I'm making a weasely villain who works around the law for profit and gain. Lots of brain, no brawn.

Manshoon is rich, powerful, evil, and always wearing a helmet. Sound familiar?

Only partial, Darlok never wears a helmet, only a chain coif if he needs head protection. He thinks a helmet it would disturb his vision.
And a man in his position should be able to look over his own shoulders.

Nothingless, I like the picture somehow.

Ah, sorry. A misleading stereotype has formed that Darlok wears a helmet. I think from the Movement-parody cartoons from the RPG board.

In any case, I'm inspired. I've been thinking all day of all the vile things I can do with the character I'm making.

Here is another artist's rendition of Manshoon:

Well, Darlok's avatar wears a helmet and full armor.
Does it not reflect real Darlok?

I would imagine him like this:

There is some sort of Northerot in the background too.

I could even picture Darlok looking like the guy in the middle of this poster

ps. I have that poster on my wall too

Here you can see Darlok after a battle against the Movement, you will notice that he does not wear a helmet.

By the way, my Board Avatar does also not wear a helmet. It might be hard to see as I had to shrink the picture down a bit.

haha funny Darlok but that is a very cool picture.


ps. at lest i manged to get to the gate of trollsbane ebfore you killed me

HAHAHA I was chased through trolls bane 3 times, and wasn't caught.
That is what I call SLICK!

yeah, ya are really good in running away. too bad that ya are not good in fighting darlok too . just a little joke

Well I search on google, and this is the REAL darlok...search google under images "darlok" and you will find it.





Me pimpin' my gat yo!

Heh Val Kilmer.....
But the Darlok is funny!

I found a few other chars too.

@Darlok:

*looking at the picture* You're kidding me?!! Darlok can't be that young and handsome! (no intention to sound feminine )
I imagined him way older and at least three times bigger, more muscular.

Would you please show a larger copy of your board avatar?
It kind of looks like one of the Diablo 1 characters in full armor, doesn't it?
From a certain angle.

I just realized something:

Most of the Americans viewed Darlok is big, hulking, and muscular; meanwhile, the Europeans viewed him as much thinner. It's interesting how the two cultures see villains differently.

I'm Russian. And my only starting point was Darlok's avatar. To wear that armor, one has to be huge. I can barely move wearing a chain mail (yes, I got one at home).

Maybe I'm looking too deeply into things...

Maybe...

Darlok is arround 30 when I take the age used when I created him and the Illarion time passed.

Darlok is no "Action Hero", like Arnold Schwarzenegger or something like this.
He is infact build as a normal, averange man.

I never put much affort in my BoardAvatar, since it is a Ripoff from the BattleNet, its the Avatar of a Moderator there.
When I needed a Avatar for him, i looked for a "Man in Armor without Helmet". This was what came arround first and satisfied my taste.

But if you want to see a picture with a more evil, necromancer-like Darlok, click here.
I bet you like it more that the common "Hulk in Plates"-Image.

And Val, I wear my hair different today.

When you say this, does that mean my lizard character would have a slim chance of winning if i had taken you on when he was in your room 2 days ago .

It is not the physical power that is important. Its more the knowledge how to use your abilities best, that decides of sucess and failure.

Not only in Illarion.


But considering my Avatar does not suit my character perfectly.
Why dont we make a competition?

Who proposes the best Darlok-Avatar ?

Is that a challenge?

Oh no, Darlok, you shouldn't have gone there...
I've got a bunch of hand-drawn cartoons of Darlok the big hulk.

Lets put up some rules:

• The Avatar has to display Darlok (of course) as a male human.
• The Avatar has to be useable for the Illarion Board in style and proportions (80x80 pixle, 8kb)
• Only one contribution please.
• The Avatar should carry some sort of metal armor, raging from plated leather up to full plate armors. Please keep in mind that Darlok does not like to wear helmets.

Thats it, I suppose.
