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. |

QUOTE Rabain, I really don't post my criticism to annoy you. But I will always tell you what I think looks wrong in the pictures you show me... and hope it is helpful. And that you won't stop showing them to me. No worries , I never take anything too seriously!QUOTE Nitpick: Her right arm (the one on the left side...) seems to be bended / curved. Make the upper part of the arm (starting from the back of the hand) a straight line. I look at this and it looks odd and then I look again and it looks okay, I don't want to mess with it too much in case I wreck it completly! The oddness I guess comes from using two different hands/arms at different angles and joining them together. I'll redo them all later and post them again. While I am going I might as well try to get a good few done (I get bored easily doing the same thing all the time)..if i come back to it in a week or so I should be interested again. I have made some slight changes... as above! |
