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 28 2005, 11:25 PM) ![]() Jastey I know will have some comments...probably about hair colour or something! ![]() First let me say that it's great to see you dealing with Ajantis alternate portraits! ![]() I have to admit that I have some problems with the picture, it looks somehow wrong. (The fact that he looks totally different than I thought is another thing ![]() My comments: His left eye lacks some contrast, expecially compared to the other one. (What is his eye colour? His right eye seems to be blue, and the left one appears brown on my display.) The head is a bit too short, starting from the eyebrows: I would expect his forehead to be longer/ wider (being so short makes him look a bit dull, if you know what I mean.) His chin is very unique... maybe soften the angular shape a bit (I don't mean making him more feminine, though.) Another point is the armour: If the green one is supposed to be a coat, I would expect it to be on top of the armour. The way it is right now it looks as if he is only wearing a metal necklace or something. I'm very tired now so sorry if the post is a bit short. |
