    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.

    credits to artastrophe for the image i used as a background for the face
    Wow, thanks!!

    I like the Neera. Doesn't fit with the image I have in my mind for her, but the work is very very good! (I think about her having a very plain, girl-next doorish look, besides the elven ears and hair obv.)

    I guess, from time to time and among other things, wild magic can transform you an 80's fashion icon

    Thank you a lot for these portraits! An awesome work!


    The girl at the top looks a bit like Lindsay Lohan.

    and this one was not drawn from scratch: image

    Nice retouch. It was not originally done for BG, so I like your version better.

    here's a quick one for mira sorvino fans (minus the blond hair)

    Just posting to thank the artists for pictures. Actually, does everyone have art threads where I can look at your NPCs? I'd like to browse and borrow and thank you guys there, if possible. It's kinda hard to tell who did what in here...

    Would it be okay if I asked for help getting a portrait on an NPC character in here? Or would that be derailing? (Before you start linking, I tried everything else, no cigar. I'm hoping some artist or purveyour in here has an Android and can help me out).

    Oh dear; it's Alora turning even more Batshit Insane than she already were. And by the looks of it she changed her occupation to Shadowdancer as well.

    Okay, I'm just going to ask my question in here and hope it gets noticed--

    I'm on an Android phone, and even though I made a folder named "override" next to my "saves" folder and put in my IMOENL.bmp picture, her image won't change in any of my saved games. Can I only see replaced NPC pics in new games or something? Help? :( I want this to work so I can replace Faldorn and Branwen next.

    @virrae: Nice work, I like that picture. I'll steal it if my game finally decides to replace NPC faces properly.

    @Brer_Rabbit try putting it in a folder called "portraits". It should be created in the same directory as "save" and "override".

    I tried that earlier and Dee suggested trying "override". The thread for reference:

    I'll give it another go though!

    Is anybody good with photo shop? What I am looking for is unique but probably not to difficult for somebody creative with a a few minutes to kill. 'Charnam" Doom Crow is a Priest of Talos (Talassan), and as such he wears black garments (robe, cloak, etc.) and an eye patch. Wields blunt weapons and heavy armor. I'm going to multi-class to mage at level 11 so robes and a quarterstaff works well too. The eyepatch is a must and the more sinister the avatar the better.

    Thanks! :)

    This is wicked close! :)

    Maybe I don't need the scar, unless he actually self mutilated his eyeball! Now that's devotion??

    @Lateralus 's thread merged with this one. You'd be more likely to find the help you need if your request is seen by this thread's artists :)

    In case anyone's interested: The Gwent card game from the new Witcher 3 has some rather nice and more low-fantasy character artwork.

    Entire artwork set here:
