Ineth's collection of Icewind Dale style portraits
ineth
Member Posts: 747
This is a collection of additional portraits for Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition, which fit in with the original portraits that come with the game. It is part of the following set of portrait collections:
IWD style portraits: | I. Canonical classes and races (Fighter, Paladin, Barbarian, ... , Halfling, Half-orc) II. Characters from other games (BG1, BG2, PST) | ||
BG2 style portraits: | I. Real-world cultures and ethnicities (Vikings, Black people) |
Introduction
IWD:EE comes with 59 built-in portraits. That's more than most games; but due to the large number of possible character build combinations (class + race + gender), any given build doesn't have a lot of suitable portraits to choose from.This collection tries to remedy that by adding more portraits for all the classes and races officially supported by the game, using a similar style as the built-in ones.
Please note that I did not paint these portraits - they are pictures which I found online, painted by various artists (see the Spoiler boxes below).
I merely turned them into IWD style portraits by cropping them and applying some post-processing.
Portrait layouts |
For each portrait, three files are included. The first two are the normal character record screen and side-bar versions, cropped like the original portraits. The third is an alternate version for the side-bar, corresponding to the "Zoomed in side-bar portraits" component of my IWD:EE Portrait Variations mod. See the included readme files for details. |

Added three more portraits cropped from Justin Sweet's art: Ba03, Ba04, Wi05
And three from Vance Kovacs' art: Pa02, Dr05, Wi06
The resolution of that last one (Wi06) is actually too low, especially for the "size N" portrait which zooms in on the face. So I may remove it again from the collection if I decide that it looks too bad in-game. It is a very cool painting though, so if someone has good google skills, please help me find a higher-resolution version of it. This is the source image I worked with.
Also, I now have a whole bunch of promising pics that I found online but haven't gotten around to process yet. So if anyone is looking for portraits for specific race/class/gender combinations, let me know so I can try to prioritize them. (No promises of course.)
- Many more portraits added.
- Subcategories
- New filename scheme
- Readme files
- Version numbers
Enjoy!There are now 132 portraits in this collection. Together with the 59 original portraits and the 9 variations from my IWD:EE Portrait Variations mod, this should hopefully let you find something you like for your characters...
(If your characters are Humans, Half-Elves, or Elves, that is. The "Other Races" bundle still has only the same old 3 portraits. I hope to get around to that one in the coming weeks.)
I've further categorized the portraits within a bundle into subcategories. This way, similar portraits can be together – both in the preview list on this page, and in the filesystem.
Now includes my modder prefix, and a letter specifying the subgroup.
This means that if you've already installed the old version of this collection, you should uninstall it before installing this one to make sure you don't end up with duplicates in your portrait folder.
Each bundle now comes with a (hopefully helpful) readme file. In addition to installation instructions and details about each portrait's origin and modifications, it shows all the portraits at the size that they're rendered at in-game, so you can get a better look compared to the thumbnails on this page.
I've started versioning the bundles separately. All are now at version 02, except for the "Other Races" bundle which I've kept at version 01 for now.
You've done a very commendable job of selecting portraits that are similar in art style and cropped them such that the smaller versions are similarly proportioned. This continues to be one of the biggest problems with portrait packs- inconsistency.
I assembled my own collection and tried to use consistent cropping of the smaller versions, though less faithfully than you have. If you're interested, they can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8iufhwi2r56hae2/iwd ee portraits.zip?dl=0
Feel free to incorporate anything from my pack into yours. I recognize ~70% of what you've posted, but maybe I've got something you don't. If you want higher resolution versions of anything, PM me. I've kept the originals.
Btw, I think the key to having consistently cropped side-bar portraits, is to allow the image to end up smaller than 169x266 pixels. That may be the size that the built-in BMPs use, but they're scaled down anyway in-game.
E.g. when playing at a screen resolution of 1920x1080 and with UI scaling enabled, the side-bar portraits are rendered at a size of 76x118 pixels.
So to have a bit of safety buffer, I used 85x133 (i.e. half the canonical size) as the minimum BMP size for them. Of course, if the source image is large enough I allow the BMPs to be larger, up to the canonical 169x266 pixels.
The iconic Caelar Argent wallpaper would be a suitable candidate for being cropped into a Paladin portrait for this collection though.
But in hind sight. How hard would it be to compile ALL the various BG 1 SoD and BG 2 potraits onto this list?
That way the whole thing could be used all across all the platforms.
https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/17117/icewind-dale-style-portraits
- layout L = from the shins up in case of human-sized character standing upright; adjusted as appropriate for other races and poses
- layout M = headgear + head + upper chest area
- layout M_zoomed = head
If a painting can't be cropped to all three of those layouts, or doesn't have the necessary minimum resolution after being cropped this way, then it can't become a portrait in this collection. I know this means I have to skip a lot of cool art I find, but I think it's worth it to ensure consistency.(Btw, I have a separate thread for BG2 style portraits... Which I should really update some time... )
Too bad there are no new portraits for half-orcs.
An "IWD style portraits for BG1/2 NPCs" collection is actually on my to-do list, just not at the top of it...
As far as I know, portraits work the same way in all EE games: The portrait file names that end in L are used for the character record screen, and the ones that end in M for the side-bar. So there's no technical hurdle, it's just a matter of collecting suitable artwork.
Since I'm not able to paint full-body versions of the Baldur's Gate NPCs myself, I have to rely on promo art and fan art, and I've been keeping a look-out for those, but so far I only have high-quality ones for a few of the NPCs.
I've actually already snuck in two BG companions in this collection right here:
The left one is cropped from this official Beamdog promo art of Rasaad, and the right one from this fan-art depicting Jaheira.
NixxiCal on deviantart.com also has very nice fan-art for 6 or so of the NPCs.
Maybe I'll make a collection for the ones for which I've found high-quality art, even if it doesn't cover all the NPCs yet.
Right now I'm getting a bunch of Dwarf portraits ready for the next release of the "Other Races" bundle, though...
Update: Other Races v02
- Tweaked the 3 Dwarf portrait from v01 to bring them closer to the IWD:EE style.
- Added 36 more portraits (25 Dwarves, 8 Gnomes, 3 Halflings).
Didn't get to the Half-orcs yet, sorry.Too bad there are so few half-orc portraits, but it doesn't diminish the value of this pack.
Nice work assembling it, dude.
