[GRAPHICS] Portrait Request
#1
Posted 26 October 2011 - 01:11 AM
1. Are you looking for original art, photoshopped art or a portrait edit?
Portrait edit.
2. Male or female? What race, age and character class, possibly alignment?
Female, human, 21, red wizard of Thay, lawful evil.
3. Describe the character's features (face, eyes, hair, clothing, etc)
See photography below.
4. What color preferences do you have (skin, eyes, hair, armor, clothing, etc)?
I'd like her skin to have a darker, bronze-golden hue. Conversely, I wouldn't mind a very pale version either. The eyes I imagine to be opalesque or possibly amber. She is bald, so hair is of no concern. Clothing-wise, she wears a red robe as is customary for all Thayans. It would be a very nice detail if her robe was held together by a golden brooch (pin) depicting the Thayan symbol, the 8 schools of magic.
5. Would you like a weapon, a spell effect or an item to be shown in the portrait? If so, what kind?
Nothing of the sort.
6. What kind of a background would you like?
Typically BGish. Maybe a reddish skye streaked with reddish clouds.
7. What kind of an expression would you like the character to have? Dangerous, happy, serene, mysterious, playful, sad, etc etc?
The expression is already captured in the photography.
8. Do you have a portrait you would like to be used as a model/reference picture (for pose, expression, looks, colors, etc...)? Post it here if you have!
Done.
9. Should the artist post the portrait here, or PM or email it to you?
Here is fine. A PM is welcome too, though.
10. Any deadlines?
If possible, I'd like the portrait done before November.
11. What game and what mod is this for?
BG2 and NwN. I'm primarily aiming for a NwN mod, but I'm definitely considering making her into a joinable BG2 NPC, as well.
12. Anything else you'd like to mention?
It would be very nice if the artist could decorate her face with an elegant tattoo. The design I leave to the artist.
THANK-YOU IN ADVANCE,
CSN

Hey guys and gals! I'm in the process of breathing life into a hauntingly beautiful NPC wizardress, but my "photoshoppic" skills are lackluster at best. I'd truly appreciate if any skilled artist would lend me a helping hand (...or brush, as it were). I've attached a photography of my friend below, and I'd basically like this photography to be edited into something befitting a BG2 mod or/and a NwN mod. Oh, and the questionaire:
1. Are you looking for original art, photoshopped art or a portrait edit?
Portrait edit.
2. Male or female? What race, age and character class, possibly alignment?
Female, human, 21, red wizard of Thay, lawful evil.

I am on it. Though I have no idea how Thayan brooch looks like. Do you have any images?
This is how she looks like so far. Hope you like.

With regards to the brooch, I can only come up with the following symbol (see attachment below). I realize it is very cartoonesque, and I have no idea how to incorporate its design into the image.
Thank-you again,
CSN

That is absolutely stunning! Amazing! I didn't even dare imagine it would turn out so well. You have my utmost gratitude, Matrix.

Awww - thanks mate! I deeply appriciate those comments! I am so happy that you enjoy it so much as you do!
As for the brooch, I don't know much about Thaiyan Wizard or stuff like that - but I remade it. And I put it on her as well. I am sending you the big picture of it to see the edits. Hope you like!! ^^
Enjoy!

O boy, do I like it!? You have exceeded my wildest expectations. I thought the brooch was impossible to implement into the picture because the style was excessively cartoonish, and yet you found a way around it. I tip my hat. Hell, I throw the damn thing in gratitude and applause.
Awww hehe - thank you very much for your praise! Yes, it did look a bit cartoonish - but the brooch looked so awesome. So I just redid it and restyled it a little. I am very happy that you liked it so much as you did! Again, thank you for your kind words friend! Enjoy!
Best Wishes!

Okay, okay, I know it's late. But you're not gonna believe this! Mmmm'kay, so I normally don't check this place out very often and totally forgot I even had an account until I was referred back to here some days ago. Anyway, I seen this post, and I know I'm late (See excuse above). But I thought that maybe you're into Alternate portraits? This way, folk could have the option of using The Matrix's awesome portrait, or this one. If you wanna use it great, if not, no biggie. Just thought I drop it off here.
Oh, and good luck with your project!
Edit: Mmm, seemed to have overlooked the part about her have tattoos. Whoops.
