On one hand, I completely understand that. On the other hand, there are plenty of artists out there that actually say "go ahead and use it just give me credit." and those are the ones I use if I'm going with drawing. Or I have stuff comissioned specifically for my characters. Also, a lot of the times I can find a picture of an actor or a model that fits the idea in my head, in which case I see no qualms with using them. It's not that I'm too lazy to describe them. I'm happy to write a full description. But when I'm roleplaying, it's nice to have the visual to refer back to.

I imagine the king's young enough that he hasn't interacted much with the beastmen. It's probably why he finds them so facinating. 

And I can stick to your template. I'm not picky. I'll have it all put together in the next post for ya.
