Yes well...I think we all know at least one of the rangers of which you speak!
 Any of these better, (I don't like to attempt adding hair):

The original, and the best I've managed. Trying to:
1 Get rid of the beard 2 Lessen the association with the subject 3 Make it look less like a slightly awkward ranger and more like a slightly awkward cleric of Lathander--and no, this is not an attempt at introducing Faramir, the cleric. They're different, but I liked the expression on this screenshot. 4 Have the portrait face left for no reason other than that it seems more pleasing to have the dude face the game. 5 Crop to have the face take up 2/3 of the view (cropped bmp has the approximate proportions I'm looking for. It would be OK, but it still looks too much like: a photo, a ranger outfit, he only wears dark clothes 6 I managed to change the color of one eye, but didn't quite get there with the other. I'm shooting for something other than blue, but still believable. Hazel, greenish or brown would work. In the game, elves are described as having vividly colored eyes. Gavin's human. His eye color should be fairly non-descript. 7 I don't actually mind the way the leather armor came out. I'm kind of happy with the way the blur tool darkened the front by the neckline. This is kinda gross, but it makes it look like body oil and sweat have darkened the leather where it's closer to bare skin. Leaving that alone but changing the shirt and gambeson to something that looks more like unbleached, i.e. cheap, linen would be cool. Edit: I had a go at it anyway. Not 100%, but better. Edit 2: Had another go locally, and managed to make the nose more beaky using a pinch tool at about the midpoint. It's a toss up. I like both, really, but they still look like photos, sort of. Edit 3: Best effort to date. I think it should be obvious which it is. This version is 82x128. The original is something like 250x3-something, so it's big enough.

I'll get on to this one shortly berelinde!
Here's one I did this evening, the red sky was suggested by a friend of mine, it was grey originally...not sure with the colours...it's Gultar the Blind, a seer who is heavily bound in local politics...often only "seeing" things that benefit him:

He looks great--and malevolent. Red sky is definitely more effective than grey would have been.
If you're still interested, the new edit (with the pink sky) is getting there, but it still has a ways to go. Edit #800: I'm still waffling. Condemnations on my indecisiveness! It desperately needs to be baldurized, but I don't want to lose the expression. And I think I'm at the end of my abilities to change the photo. Edit #799: You know, the more I think about it, the more I start to think I might already be there. At this point, I've got 2 portraits that I can live with, which is 2 portraits more than I started with. If you feel like it, and find yourself bored, that would be cool. If not, I'm still in better shape than I was. This post has been edited by berelinde: Oct 14 2006, 02:27 PM |

I like that one very much. Only thing, the hair on her left side look like a misplaced background (not the one beside the forehead, but the hair behind that, if you know what I mean).
Would you mind removing the elf-ear? [EDIT: Being able to spell would help.] This post has been edited by jastey: Nov 23 2006, 10:46 AM |

Another one for the new year. I'm not sure about the eyes (he had none when I started!) but I liked the look so I left them as they are:

The closer I look at his eyes the more I see a hint of sadness.

It's been a while so I decided to try another. I seen this girls photo online and thought the eyes were very nice. I really like the dress too...though I'm beginning to feel I'm over-using it.

Rab, the last one is breath-taking!! I´ve never created such a good one, no matter how hard I tried. Can I have the original? I would like to reserve this one. And the one above, too, hehehe...
If you don´t mind, of course...

Glad you like it. Consider them both reserved!
There should be more ladies in the works soon, I find it easier to do women than men...or at least its harder to find male photos...perhaps thats an unconcious thing though...anyway...more later! |

Hey, Rab, one request is crossing my mind - please, can you make that lady on the picture above suited in some armor? Perhaps cutted and pasted from original ones. I would like to have her in two versions - first one original like it is now, and the second one armored...
Thanks in advance...

Sure, no problem. Any armour in particular...either from original portraits or any I've done? See the link in my sig for the gallery.

No matter if you´ll use your own or the original one, just make it look good...

Kulyok mentioned elsewhere about a Xan alternate portrait. I had a go but I think for some the well known actor might be a bit too much...

There's something odd about this. I've done a lot to try to make it right but something is odd...still:
