I have been messing around with Photoshop all day...I guess I am a little obsessed with portraits at the moment.
Anyway to take my mind off choosing portraits for NPC mods I have done the following. Each image is taken from various locations around the net, mainly Poser art sites. The armour and such are various cobbling together of bits and pieces from BG2 armour and some other BG2 portraits already available. Let me know what you think:  Top-Left - she wasn't so pink, didn't have the elf ears, didn't have that birth-mark/tattoo type thing and didn't have the armor. Top-Middle - he didn't have any armor, no clothes at all in fact, didn't have the tattoo or the elfish ears and the hair was so dark you almost couldn't see it at all! Top-Right - all this guy had was a face and only about half the neck you see now. I extended the neck and added the worn armor. Might make a decent villain. Bottom-Left - again this guy was just head and short neck. I added the armor, recoloured it blue and red tint, lengthened his neck using the smudge tool. Also he was paler than the elf girl above so I gave him a tan by using a skin graft from another portrait and smudge it in. There is still something odd about this one..the eyes? Bottom-Middle - she wasn't a drow and had no clothes on! I think the leather straps might still need some touching up...but don't they always! Bottm-Right: he was just a head wearing a black polo neck, I had to give him a different background to highlight his hair, added the armour which fitted nice with the polo, copied the sword handle to the left side. Might make a decent Armsmaster for some Duke. Gave him the scaring too. |

Jastey...both my biggest help and my biggest critic...just to answer some of the criticisms:
the guy on the left (your right?) has a long neck and a small head...that's it...he is very sorry but he was born that way! yeah the middle guy's eye is a bit odd but then you wouldn't notice that on the smaller portraits...actually flaws are a lot easier to spot on these large versions! Yeah the guy in black's neck looks a little odd, he is turned slightly if you look carefully but I didn't even notice the neck thing..you must have some super monitor to see these things! I'll see what I can do with the stoned guy, it is very hard to find decent helmets to add to portraits. Here are the next three portraits, in much the same style as the others. I am trying to get a range of classes too instead of the usual fighter/elf/drow options:  Okay the girl on the left is what I call a cleric, her eye makeup probably needs fixing but I don't have much experience with makeup! The mage girl picture I loved because of the hands, you don't see hands much in BG portraits so I really wanted to keep them. The only problem was the original image only had the face and hands, no arms beyond the wrists. So I found some girl online and stole her arms, I think they have turned out okay, the robe cuffs were a last minute addition which i think was pure genius as they make the arms look like part of the picture...I like this one! the guy is a bard, I can just see his big head booming out a deep tenor in some Inn in Trademeet! I am going to have to trawl for some new armors and clothes etc as the original BG portraits are getting a little old, I feel like i am seeing the same armour/robes all the time now! Please remember too that there is even more detail in the bmp images than in these compressed jpg's! Comments? |
