The best way would be an image hosting service like imageshack.us or photobucket.com. Whichever you choose, it should be free of charge.
At the better hosting servers, you can generate links and then show pictures in posts here by embedding these links between [img]and[/img].
There's an "Img" function among your options above the text box when you post.
Other hosting services only allow showing links, which most people are too lazy to click on, so don't use these. I recommend Photobucket, though an ideal option it's surely not. Has a few bugs when you try to edit pictures in it, but that shouldn't concern you right now.

That's what a forum is about. |_P

Well, it worked...
And what a paintjob it is! Nicely done.
The Barbarian and the Elf are especially good. I love the color choices for the Elf, even though it's just one color for all clothing, and the Barbarian's belt.
Really good.
And the skintones are top-notch. |_P Love those shadows under the Elf's high cheekbones...
