Here it is

I made a separate layer with the hair, then smudged the face and corrected the levels. Smudged the hair and corrected the levels, contrast and curves, burned a little here, dodged a little there. So... Hope you like it!

Ah, also added some background...

I like the medievalish feel of the artwork. Sorry to hear that you do not have a more advanced editing program - looking at Ana's touch up, the smoothness and shading will give the images glossier, digitaler, less pencil sketch look. Not that I mind pencil, but it will be a bit more consistent with the CRPG media. And *loved* white eyelashes on the drow.

@Ana - I was wondering if it is possible to give the eyes more "transparent/volume" look - I have seen it at Hathor's Viconia's alterations with amber/golden eyes and it really gave the surrealistic feel to the image. Here is an example of what I am talking about:

If you're looking for an affordable image editing program, you can't really beat the gimp, which is free. I've been using it ever since my latest PS demo stopped working, and I don't have any complaints at all. The user interface takes some time to get used to, but that's true of Photoshop as well. Apart from that, the only problem is that the name of the program tends to make people think of a certain scene in Pulp Fiction, but I can live with that...

Oh, and I like the pictures. I was sort of hoping that someone would break the pattern of edited versions of the original portraits, so you're right on time, too.

Aww, Domi, for some reason I cant see the pic you attached. I also tried to direct link to it but still nothing. :S

Anyway, I did make some touchup to the eyes:

Wow!

Thats fantastic, Immortality...is it OK if I use this one for Fades portrait, then?? ^_^

I needed to get the others sorted out, many of my pictures are all 'pencilly' (because between pencils and pastels, thats what they are!) and I know that most portraits have a more 'painted' feel to them. They also need the contrast etc played with before they go into the game otherwise they are too light (yep, stuck some of them in the game and you could barely see them, they were so light!) I'm going to have to master the art of layers and masks then...

And thanks for the support! ^_^

Many of these are parts of much larger pictures...but I was thinking about doing a whole set of just portraits - not larger character sketches. Must learn to draw things other than elves and demons.....

Thank you!

Ziggy....I don't mind if you want to play around with it, but since Immort has manipulated it, you'd better ask her too...

Mistress Elysia --> Really nice gallery at Deviant Art

Good you've got a link in your signature! I used to draw from time to time some years ago, some years ago... Now I guess I've forgotten how to do it

Last drawing was in 2000.. And never got colors as good as yours. A few drawings of mine if you want to see.

Don't worry - I've seen some B&W pics as portraits to Infiinity Engine games.

Try to stay logged on

As Domi asked - tehy might be blurred a bit for the game, but it is not necessary.

Immortality --> You could't see the picture Doomi has atached because my site wasn't working for 2 days

JPS is right - GIMP is powerfull tool, as god as Adobe's Photoshop (just still can't find the brush of history - some help?). As every application we need to learn to use it. photoshop is easier, but some things are more easilly accessible in Gimp B)
I'm trying to use a junior tablet now with Gimp - never used tablet before, so all looks silly
