Minsc and Boo. Butt-kicking for goodness!

I always thought Minsc was great how he is, so I didn't stray too far from his original look.

    Amazing work as always. I imagine him a bit more buff though, but that might just be me. He currently looks like he has 17 str xD But other than that, great work.
    Also, Boo looks adorable.

    Thanks everyone.

    I wish I could say I put as much logic into his size, like Bhaaldog so eloquently put it, but I was mainly just trying to avoid him looking like a juicehead. But hey, he made sense. I think I'll run with that from now on. ;)

    He actually looks his implied age as well. Nice job.

    I feel that this one tells a story. The sky depicts this thin moment(somewhere around Amkethran) just before the final fight(in ToB). I can sense the happiness of being part of the party and the sadness of the coming end.

    Remarkable talent, a pinch of nostalgia and a little touch of magic and a drawing becomes a work of art that will endure. Keep the magic.

    Could you draw Orrick the gray(or some other wise-looking mage like Elminster, Dumbledore or Gandalf) and use themes like stars, maybe a portal somewhere, night, mystic streams of energy, time... It would be brilliant. I will write it again, keep the magic. Thank you.

    Boo points! I punch. It is a simple relationship, but very effective.

    Thanks very much guys!

    @Djimmy I probably will be doing Elminster in the near future. Playing BG again got me all nostalgic for the old Forgotten Realms novels. I was planning on doing a set of some of the famous FR personalities after I get through with BG npcs. And thank you for the thoughtful comments.

    @Nixxi Rather than chase all of your NPC pics, I'll say it here for all of them - absolutely brillaint and I look forward to the next ones.

    @Yovaneth Thank you.

    I say keep with the BG NPCs. I want to run an all-Nixxi avatar game at some point after the great quality of the first 3.

    Dear, dear Nixxi, can I ask you to consider making a Jaheira portrait next? I think she is one of the most used NPC's with one of the most horrible portraits (in BG1, at least). I will be using all your portraits in the next playthrough.
  • NixxiNixxi Member Posts: 30
    Thanks for the comments. I am still continuing with the portraits... just very slowly atm. They had to take a back seat to some other projects with time constraints.

    @Ksarfeks I likely will get to Jaheira. I'm already currently working on two other characters though, so she's a little ways down the line.
