Here we go, two portraits I recently made. I used Eliza Dushku's photo as a ref for the elven girl, and Ava Gardner's for the fighter. That one came out pretty eerie since I feel she looks like me which wasn't my intention. :blink:

Wow! They both look great, I especially love the hair. Hair is always such a challenge to me..

But they look great, I love the personality in the images :)

One new! This is a character I've had in my mind forever. Maybe someday I get something fun done out of her.

I LOVE this portrait!
It just SCREAMS "Make me your next NPC project!!!"
She seems so full of life, so fun, so energetic, so.....alive, but with a devilishly evil side.
Simply amazing work.

Peace

:D Thank you! Now, if I ever get to mod-making.. I admit, I have no clue about programming or anything else either, but I have some dialogues written and I will write more with time. I've been thinking not to make her a joinable NPC, since there are so many of them already. Instead, I thought of making her.. well, not to promise too much, I'll just say someone you would bump into several times during SoA and ToB, and who would provide new snappy banter, some quests and maybe even a one night stand or something. :D A mod not-to-be-taken-seriously but to give something new and refreshing to the game. I would love to see this made, but we'll see.

Alternate Edwina portrait! If someone wants to use this, I can make the bmp's.
Edit: Added a version with hair!

1. This should become the standard portrait for Edwin/Edwina change.

2. Makes me want to CLUA in the Girle of Gender Change as soon as I pick up Edwin!

3. Awesome stuff!

The pace at which I'm making these portraits is unbelievable. :blink:

A drow, this time. He turned out pretty hot, actually, but I blame the open shirt. :D I might have plans for this man too, just like with the blue haired elf earlier in this topic. Is this portrait too dark, btw?

It might be just a tad too dark as it is now... I think that changing the shirt colour to either dark blue or dark purple would work wonders.

Thanks Archmage! I tweaked with contrast and other things, and this is what I came up with. The change is not big, since I want him to be dark and mysterious, but it would be nice if you could make out what exactly IS in the portrait.. :D

The latest one is better than the original, although I still have a nag about the shoulder/tree-line... it's hard to see where one ends and the other begins.

I LOVE him! But, imho the portrait is indeed too dark. I don't mean him, I mean he and the background are too similar in shade. I'm no artist so I don't know if "shade" is the right word to use here.

And your elf above is lovely! She looks fun and a bit devilish.

I also think it's a wee bit too dark around the eyes. Just a thought.

You did an awesome job with all those! Maybe it's just me, but the Edwina ones seem a bit more natural compared to the rest. The eyes seem a bit off, though. I realize the face may be slightly tilted to the side, but I think the left eye could still be a bit lower on there.

Ah, but I nitpick, so you needn't mind me :P . Great stuff all around!

Okay, this same old fella again. I changed the background and added the yellow highlights. Once more, I want this portrait to be dark and mysterious and his eyes shadowed, but I'm unsure of how that works out....

On my monitor, it is so dark that all I can see is the band of yellow and orange across the horizon, hair and eyebrows, with the suggestion of a highlight along the lip.

Sorry.
