    Stone Cold Steve Austin. ;)

    Now THAT explains the lack of love. I never really made the connection...not a big wrestling fan. And now I'm going to be thinking about it every time I look at him...

    I thought of that back in 98 when they released the game. I was wondering where the Rock's portrait was at.

    Stone Cold Steve Austin. ;)

    lol. he does look like that doesn't he?

    Even though I don't watch "wrestling" any more, Austin was awesome.

    I know when I used that portrait, my character was a bad ass.

    Awesome versions here! :) Any chance you could do a evil blackguard type of this portrait?

    Just as I said, I couldn't get the Steve Austin image out of my mind, so I had to come up with an alternative. It may be another famous face (and entirely appropriate for a barbarian), but at least I'm not imagining this one body slamming kobolds. He would also likely work well for a dwarf character.

    and that's the bottom line

    I've been following the conversation about the lack of portraits for non-white PCs, so I thought I'd try one out. I gave him the same armor that one version of Steve had, but cleaned it all up a bit to be a bit smoother. For some reason something about it seems wrong--perhaps the armor appearing too flat.

    How about some portraits of Middle Eastern look (Calimshan representing)?

    Unfortunately, my trial edition of Photoshop expired. I still have the separate parts (hood, face, armor) saved as separate files and can share them with anybody who would like to use them.

    Actually, I had worked on a quick Blackguard version awhile ago, but it's just a simple recoloring and was based on the goatied portrait which is why it is flipped. There is no background, and the "seams" of the portrait parts haven't been blended, but perhaps someone would like to use it.

    Just a slightly edited version of Philhelm's Blackguard. All credit goes to him-just thought people might like it more with a background. :)

    Maybe you can make a hot evil female assassin thief from Calimshan? That would be awesome.
  • CoM_SolaufeinCoM_Solaufein Member Posts: 2,606
    Fixed.

    Maybe you can make a hot half-elven evil female assassin thief from Calimshan who is dead serious and doesn't play? That would be awesome.

    Non white NPCs? That would require adding a new "subrace" lol.. had to say it..
  • IsandirIsandir Member Posts: 458
    I put one together using an Arab model and a bit of a desert background. (Yes, she's beautiful, if that argument is still going.) She could pass as someone from Calimshan.

    And to avoid being gender-biased...
    I put both of the "Calishites" and the others I've made so far in TiaxRulesAll's Dropbox account.

    Getting the blending and layers right on this one was tough, but I think it turned out alright. The only thing I don't like is that the hand still doesn't quite match the tone of the rest.

    (EDIT: I put a better version in my folder on the Dropbox account TiaxRulesAll made. It doesn't have the glow effect on the bottom edges.)

    For some reason, I don't see your folder in that account. Does it have your username in the title?
  • TiaxRulesAllTiaxRulesAll Member Posts: 198
    I see an (Isandir) folder with his pics in it. remember you have to sync the folder up. You possibly have the syncing paused or perhaps you didnt wait long enough for the folders to sync. new ones will be the very last ones to load.
  • IsandirIsandir Member Posts: 458
    Here's another one I tried last night. The model's photo that I used made it quite easy; she was in the perfect pose and had the right expression. The background also ended up blending it rather nicely. As for the armor...I love the fact that all of Skyrim's armor sets are posted online!

    Hi all! Happy New Year!
    @TiaxRulesAll I was looking for an male elf portrait in your original BG style, who could be evil (not a drow one), possible a moon elf or wild elf, and a thief or rogue style. I thought about young Josh Holloway, but found this noname guy here:

    Dunno, looks like an elf for me. And not so girlish like Legolas.

    Can you do such a request, please? I know, it's a tricky one.
    First of all - he needs elven ears, not huge ones.
    And maybe little more gray colored hair and a little bit darker skin. Like an elven girl you made before
    In the same style:

    (She's awesome!!!)

    Or keep him blond, light skinned?

    A dark leather armor (could be black) it's on your choice, I thought about Valygar's. And not a bright background, but not too dark either.

    What do you think?

    I been much more busy lately. Thats why I haven't been posting as many pics. That request seems doable but sounds like some work too. Like all the others, I'm not promising anything but ill take a look at it if I get some time.
  • IsandirIsandir Member Posts: 458
    I never really liked the options in the vanilla game if you wanted to play as a dwarf. You wouldn't think that the "L'Oreal" Beard is Beautiful (spoof) picture would come in handy...

  • IsandirIsandir Member Posts: 458
    A second dwarf, though he could also be a human. The face is actor Tom Hardy, who became quite famous as Bane in the latest Batman film. He looks drastically different with the beard.

    Some very nice stuff in here. I don't use photograph avatars (I go for painted work), but that doesn't take away from the excellent work!

    I still think Bane's mask makes him look like Sarevok... and he sounds sorta like Sean Connery.

    The portraits are great btw. Particularily like the first one.

    Thanks! I'm finding that I enjoy making these as much as I do playing the game. I think it's the fact that it feels like making a new character every time.

    As for Bane...I actually still haven't seen the movie. I managed to catch most of the blockbusters this year and miss that one.
