I'm looking for an particular image that I can't seem to find anywhere. I want a picture of a person's back side but has to be the full body, or something clever hidding his feet and a bare sword, but in a rest or ready position. The closest I can find is this, but i need legs or legs hidden in a clever way. BTW, it doesn't have to be an asian dude.
(If the sword isn't bare, the sword has to be somewhere near/close to him but he has to be in a "cool" position

I read that 3 times... and I can only make out that you want a "full body back view" of a guy. The rest of it is all discombobulated. Explain it to me like I'm 5? Maybe describe a particular scene as an example?

haha, ok. Let me try again...
I like splicing different images together to make a siggy. Look at my current siggy, at the guy in the bottom left. I want to replace him with a similar character. So the requirements would be:
- Backside is facing the viewer (you)
- human or elf NOT in heavy armor
- male or female (but the silhouette has to resemble a male...) or one that you can't tell
- A sword, somewhere on him; can be sheathed, but if drawn in a "rest" position (doesn't look like he's about to strike)
- Legs/feet have can NOT be cut off in the picture.However, if they are "cleverly hidden" that's fine. Examples would be if the person is crouched down or there's a rock blocking the feet.
And for bonus points:
- Some kind of wind effect; clothes, cape, hair, etc is blowing in the wind
- The character has the "chilled out, badass" look
- high(er) res pic so i can scale, crop and edit without worrying about losing too much quality
If you can't find one, that's fine. I have managed to find two pictures that *might* work, meaning they meet most of the requirements but are lacking some of the important ones and thus would require quite a bit of manipulation to.
Side note: Have you ever realized the lack of pictures with people's back facing the viewer?

Here's what I found in my little quest. Hope it's what you're looking for or something close to it that can be used in some form.

Here's one "concept" I've made. Reason I'm not actually putting the pic here is because it is 837kb and I don't know how to reduce it (it HAS to stay as PNG to keep the transparency effects). Any ideas?

Looks a bit modern, but that's not necessarily bad. Other than that, it looks great.

@Gus: I don't mind using anime, but i would want to use "realistic" anime... if that makes any sense. Something like, FF over DBZ or Gundam.
@TBeck: not resizing the picture, the file size... as in, i would like to bring it to under 100kb
