1. If you post a picture here or send it to me in a PM, I'll give 5 credits to the creator of the one I like best. I might pay 10-15 credits if I really like it, and I might also give a few credits as second place prizes if there's more than one really great picture.
2. If you don't feel like working for potentially nothing, you can show me some samples of your work and I'll consider paying in advance for the art.
Here's the description and clothing and stuff.
QUOTE
She is a tiger-like Rajamala and is small and lithe, causing her long tail to seem a bit out of place, being the same length as the rest of her body. You can clearly see the rigors of combat have taken their toll, with a toned, hardened body and a worn face showing the first signs of old age. She is covered in soft, white fur, accented by dark bands, the most clearly defined being a band of black fur around her neck. A few streaks of grey run through her tail, which fades into a soft, rusty color near the tip. Her eyes are a pale silver, and reflect the color of her surroundings. Her hair matches her eyes in colour, with additional streaks of darker grey, and is pulled back in a tight braid that reaches down to the middle of her back. Barely visible in their retracted state, the tips of her claws glint dangerously, dyed bright silver. You can see several runes scattered over her body, stained in her fur with blue ink.
She is wearing:
a knife belt of woven kelp,
dashing black combat boots with silver buckles,
a dashing black dueling shirt with slashed sleeves,
shadowy assassin trousers,
a black leather baldric,
a silver and sapphire wedding band,
a small brazen hair dagger,
a diamond-studded sheath, and
a woven pouch of wild seagrass
A dashing black dueling shirt with slashed sleeves
This smooth black shirt has been designed with freedom of movement and the necessary style required for a spirited dueler in mind. Its sleeves reach just comfortably past the wrists and a long slash extends from the cuff to a few inches above the elbow. The slashes are loosely laced up with fine silvery ties, complementing the narrow cuffs and laced up neckline of the same hue. A small insignia of two crossed swords, again in silver, adorns the outside of the shirt's left shoulder.
Shadowy assassin trousers
These trousers are fashioned from an incredibly soft fabric of the pitchest of blacks, identical to the material of the robes that often accompany them. The trousers are rather close-fitting, so that they ripple very little and also pose little risk of snagging on anything that could be protruding nearby. The length of the trousers is given extreme detail, so that they sit comfortably around the waist and halt finely at the wearer's ankles. Besides the careful length and fitting, these trousers are rather nondescript. They are designed to complement the shadowy and dark look of the assassin robes that often go with them.
Dashing black combat boots with silver buckles
Designed with the active lifestyle of a dashing knight in mind, these
sturdy boots are stylish yet practical. The rich, treated leather is a
deep abbadon black and has been lightly polished to a soft lustre. Thick
soles provide a sturdy base to support the foot while withstanding any
type of terrain. Extending to mid-calf, the inside of the boots have
been lined with thick merino wool to ensure a comfortable fit. The tip
of the boot has been reinforced with a steel plate, protecting the
wearer's toes from harm especially while on the front line of the
battlefield. Two wide leather straps fasten at the sides with shining
square silver buckles, holding the boots securely to the leg. Burned
into the sole of the left boot is a silver lily and the initials "DW",
indicating the designer.
A knife belt of woven kelp
Numerous interwoven strands of amber and dull green cured kelp comprise this weapon holster. Designed to be worn around the waist, an ingenious series of knotted eyelets allows the belt to be tightly secured despite the absence of any buckle. Each strengthened by a coating of resin, more than a dozen loops within the weave provide space for daggers or knives to slide inside and hang from their handles, readily accessible to the wearer. Despite its fine workmanship, the item bears loose fibres in places and lacks any sort of ornamentation.
A knife belt of woven kelp is holding:
"knife255104" a bronze ritual knife
A black leather baldric
This baldric is crafted from leather dyed a deep black and sewn together with silver thread. A large loop of the hide allows the device to be slung over the shoulder and crossways over the body to rest on the opposite hip, with the portion made to hold a weapon set upon the wearer's back. Two metal hooks, covered in the same leather as the rest of the baldric, make it possible to hold large, handheld armaments top up behind the wearer, and a loop of black hide lower down allows further restraint of the weapon until it is time to draw it in battle or otherwise.

"halberd321723" a guardsman's halberd
A guardsman's halberd
This metal-shod pole of over four cubits in length comes to a spear point with both an axe blade and a hooked beak opposed to the axe. The balance of the weapon is excellent, permitting rapid manipulation in swings, hacks, or jabs as the situation and skill of the practitioner dictate. Two foot-long sections are somewhat darker and ever-so-slightly indented in comparison with the rest of the shaft.

A diamond-studded sheath
A bright pattern of diamonds decorates the surface of this black leather sheath, sparkling like stars against the night sky. The open rim is decorated with a band of silver, and a matching tip covers the pointed end. Inside, the sheath is lined with soft oilskin to protect and condition the blade in its resting state.
A diamond-studded sheath is holding:
"dagger145095" a graceful silver dagger
A graceful silver dagger
This elegant silver dagger is lightweight and about eight inches long, made of a mixed platinum alloy and smoky quartz. Its haft is wrapped in black manta ray leather bound by twisted hemp, and a single white Lothian pearl is embedded in the centre of the curved handguard. The blade is double-edged, forged to a fine point and unweathered by its ocean origins.

A small brazen hair dagger
This brazen blade is a mere three inches long and easily disguised as a hair clip. It is housed by a sheath that sits within a bronze square frame, blending seamlessly into the hair piece with shared artistic patterns. An ornamented grip adds a lavish touch to the accessory, and its complete lack of a hand guard disguises the true nature of the hairpiece. More than meets the eye, this barrette dagger allows its owner to stylishly carry a dagger within one's tresses, as well as functionally clasp one's hair.

A woven pouch of wild seagrass
This hand-woven pouch is about the size of a human fist and earthen brown in colour. It is reminiscent of fine netting as the cord work crosses in an intricate pattern and leaves barely noticeable, evenly spaced gaps throughout the surface. A few tiny pearls are threaded through the tough seagrass fibers to provide a taste of decoration, some of them tinted with various shades of blue. Twine winds around the opening and doubles back, ready to close the pouch securely when pulled from either end.
A silver and sapphire wedding band
Pure silver steadfastly encircles the wearer's slender finger while
still managing to be delicate at the same time. The inner surface of
this wedding band is completely smooth and polished to ensure a
comfortable fit. The outer side of the band has been engraved with two
slim, long rajamalan tails that cross each other once at the bottom of
the band: symbolising two lives joined inseparably forever. Slightly
bigger than the width of the band, sparkling rose-cut sapphire is
positioned at the top. The blue centrepiece gem is securely held in
place with a filigreed claw. The band is designed lovingly, unmistakably
identifying the wearer as the recipient of everlasting affection.

Some general guidelines:
Any medium is fine; sketches, paintings, black and white, colored, etc., I do prefer full-body pictures though.
You don't have to include all the items, or depict them exactly as they're described.
The clothing could be anything you think would work. Just make it fairly masculine. Sena would rarely be seen in a skirt, and even more rarely in a dress.
The weapons can be wielded or sheathed/worn, or included in some other way. They could also be left out completely, but I'd rather have them in the picture.
I don't have armour at the moment, but you could include scale mail if you'd like.
It can be a picture of Sena in any pose or doing any action. Sena is a shaman, if you want to do any class-specific stuff.
