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.

Yes I thought her head might be a bit far back too but the effort to move the whole thing was too much last night so I left it. Seeing as It is mostly dark around her head now I might get around to updating it. I tend to move on to new things fairly quickly and come back a lot later to fix things! I get bored easily!

I had thought about making an alternate portrait pack, replacing all the NPC portraits with version I made. It might make replaying the game seem a bit different (though only a little). Most of the portraits are available in Epilogue size from the link in my sig. I update that when I have enough for a new page!

If anyone needs a bmp or wants some changes they can PM me or whatever.

I will take you up on adding them to Portrait City. Do you only provide the two sizes there? I create all mine in Epilogue size (210x330) so they are easily downsized. I might send you the files next weekend or the weekend after...when I am not being so lazy.

If anyone wants a photo made into a portrait just let me know, I am always looking for new models! smile.gif If it is you (in the photo) just let me know what class you would like to be and I'll try to accomodate.

Feel free to comment on any portrait, I appreciate the encouragement!
