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 @ Mar 25 2005, 05:26 PM) I can't really say this is something I have made up as I have changed very little. I shortened her neck somewhat so I could get her bust into the portrait (ahem!) though it still looks fairly long but it kind of fits with the body as seen in the original below. Unfortunately with BG portraits you don't get to see much of the rest of the body to give you proper proportions (and man does she have proportions...)   kudos to the original artist Kimberley Atkins for a portrait that doesn't really need alteration! Well, I like it. I would actually like to steal that one, if I may. I have a few elves(a whole city...) that need portraits, and I have been searching for a good female elf for a while now. May I reserve this one, please?  BTW, you're doing a great job, and I really like those drows that you did on the last page(I think). I never got around to posting it, but I loved your St. Patty's day portrait as well. Nicely done

Member of the World Transition Project And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming, And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted - nevermore! Like dealing with terrorists by giving them explosives |
