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. |

Cool, they are much better. I made the rule for myself not to nagg on pictures more than three times, so here I go (third and last time):
I very much like the chin and mouth. I would even say they "are Ajantis", compared to the BioWare pic. The "baggy" is gone, looks very good. I still have problems with the eyes... For me they look too small, and the white is not white but still very reddish, as if he was awake all night (yes, of course that is something that could happen to a knight easily)... maybe also giving him some lighty spots into his pupils. For Ajantis, I think his nose is too long (but for a portrait, it is OK.) but I can only really tell if I see a version with changed eyes. Something I only noticed now: his chin goes over the metal nacklace he is wearing (don't know the right term for it), making it look as if he gets the collar into his chin/neck all the time (looks rather uncomfortable). On his right side, the hair line looks a bit strange, not sure if this is meant to be a shadow or if he is just a bit assymmetrically haired... I very much like the facial expression, all knightly and such.  I like the left version best, in the middle it looks as if he had dyed his hair, and in the right version.. Well...  If I haven't talked away all of your motivation, I really would love to see the left version with "bigger" eyes, placed in a way that the upper lid is at the same place as it is for his eyes right now (...if you know what I mean..) |
