    That alternate Valygar is going to be a Barbarian in my next IWD:EE game.

    That Yoshimo!

    @SharGuidesMyHand Ha! I never noticed that. I actually think the vanilla BG2 portrait of Minsc is fine on its own. But unfortunately it bears a strong resemblance to someone I know IRL who I have a very bad association with, lol. I thought this one worked well as an alternative for Minsc. (Now if only I had mad Photoshop skills and could put Boo on his shoulder there, or his bicep or something.) XD

    If anyone here is looking for a bit of a "challenge," perhaps someone here could give a "Baldur's touch" to this picture here:

    I'm thinking of using this pic for a gnome multi-class (cleric/thief or cleric/illusionist).

    I'm not looking for anything fancy, I prefer the face to remain largely the way that it is - I suppose that I just want it to look less like a photograph and more like artwork so that it fits in with the other BG portraits.

    Here's a larger version of the same pic, if it helps:

    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you! I am genuinely delighted that you would register for that reason. Now that you're here, please do contribute more! I was never a member of any forum until this one, and there are some really great people here who have built an incredibly supportive community.

    Well, I am a member of only one forum on the internet, a roleplaying community with a great deal of D&D and PF presence. I'm not sure in which ways I could contribute to these forums, but I'd be happy to try, of course. I'm not very knowledgeable on Baldur's Gate, to be honest, but I am in the process of trying to craft a portrait or two, myself.

    That said, there is one thing I am attempting to do, which is to "baldurize" Halga and give him some plate armor. I wish I could find similar images to these with a better resolution. Alas, this is what I have to work with, and any advice would be welcome! :smile:

    As much as I'd like to try some of the challenges you and others have been putting up in the thread, I have a loooooooooong to-do list. I don't know if I'm ever going to get to all of the NPCs as I'd like... Hopefully @Syntia13, @vierrae and some of our other artists will come back soon!

    Thank you, @Ravenslight! I appreciate your, uhm, appreciation!

    Really, it was somewhat hard, but not nearly as hard as thought it'd be (especially when you remember most slights fade away in-game). I'm sure that with a favorable image, with a good resolution and baldur-esque lighting, it'd be a breeze to come up with something fitting. I mean, when I get all loose ends tidied up, that is. He still has no armor, after all.

    It's a real shame this thread seems to have slowed down. Means that there is likely to remain a dearth of portraits for the new IWDEE.

    Alternate portrait for CN Anomen, or otherwise a more evil paladin.

    May as well baldurise my other works, if you, guys, find it to your liking.

    Yes, please:)

    http://dasgleinich.deviantart.com/ made custom portraits for his Pillars of Eternity created characters, and these portraits could be used for a custom party in BG as well (or each of them could be used for a charname):

    http://cosmichunter89.deviantart.com/ has an idea of making Korax the Ghoul a playable character in a mod. So far, the project is in the works. This is an image chosen for Korax by http://djingo.deviantart.com/:

    I've drawn another portrait for my game, no refs. Personally I use it for Adrian NPC.

    The last one wears the Helm of Balduran, so it would be perfect.

    I do realise noone is really interested, but oh well. I decided to redraw this portrait. Just because. But in result of saving the file something went horribly wrong with initial colours. Gah.
    And I am also in process of painting Xan's.
