If you're going for glittering blue, you might want to tone down the white a little bit too.
I usually make minor adjustments for contrast and colors at last minute depending on the monitor I play on and the color calibration used on that. I totally get you point, but ingame it looks good like that on my monitor. :-)
Recently discovered a little puzzle game called Primordia and decided to make a wonderfully anachronistic portrait out of its main character. Here's the image I worked with, since it took some time to find.
Yeah. All those pictures have an alarming lack of eyes. I see two at best in any posted portrait.
O_O Oh my gods! I can't believe what a horrible hostess I am! I can't believe I never thought to cater to the multi-optical part of the crowd! I'm so sorry! What will you think of me, this is so distressing! Please don't feel offended, I'm just an airhead, I never meant to neglect the needs of any of the thread-goers. I have a picture I started back when the 'non-playable NPC portraits' was going, but I didn't finish it on time, so it was never published. I know it's not much, but it's better than nothing, right? It's a portrait of the beholder guarding the chest in underwater city.
Once again I apologize for the oversight. I swear I'm not a speciesist. ;P
As a person of multiple eyes, I will accept this picture as apology for the 44 pages of neglect. However, I do have to agree with @Drugar, there is also a notable lack of beards here, especially on the females of your two-eyed kind.

Oh, thank you, I am so relieved! As for bearded ladies, I've already supplied two of such, therefore I feel blameless on this account. :P
I would really appreciate if someone could edit this pic just a tiny bit for me. The background bothers me way more than it should, and it would be cool if some photoshop wizard could make it bit more uniform. Preferably more white/dark blue instead yellow and red, or even better would be the whole background looking like it does in the top right corner.

...and there's this word again. What does 'emo' means? Is it as negative as I'm getting impression from context in which it's usually used? How do you recognize 'emo'? Is 'emo' a monster hiding under my bed? Should I be scared? O_O ;P
@Messi I'm not exactly a photoshop wizzard - more like a GIMP apprentice - but since GIMP is superior to Photoshop on account of being freeware, I think it's all right. There you go: all blue, and all dark, whichever you prefer.

Interesting questions. To me, it means nothing beyond a peculiar hair style. By default, I simply do not have the necessary cultural references to really understand if it is a pejorative term or not. It's definitely not negative to me because most things are not negative (or positive) to me anyway. It's just funny looking hair. Sort of like my goatee.
Btw, you should definitely be scared of anything hiding under your bed.
Emo is frequently deployed as a pejorative term. For most people, when someone call something 'emo', it is usually meant derogatorily. (Also, the typical emo hairstyle usually covers one eye, so that hairstyle is not actually emo at all).

Hmm. I just read the wikipedia entry and I'm a bit confused but yeah let's not derail the thread. Here is a portrait I have used for a recent Kensai charname before I abandoned that run for her complete lack of magical ability.
After a very long hiatus from the forums, I'm going to try to upload a portrait here and there.
@SharGuidesMyHand: Here's one take on Scarlett's image. I tried to match the tone to the default portraits, but you may want to lighten it a bit if it's not your taste.

I'm speechless. :-O
My only regret is that I have but one "like" to give for this portrait.
I spotted a really good baldurised pic of Matthew Bomer as a paladin or knight or some such thing; and I was wondering if whoever did it ( @Isandir I think?) could do a kensai version for me?
I think he would make a great Nathaniel pic.
EDIT: I would also like an alternate picture for Yoshimo, and for Aerie. If anyone's got any?

No beard, not approved.
@KidCarnival Oh, thank you, I am so relieved!

I consider my contribution contributed. :P

Also, maybe someone could tinker around with this picture of Taylor Swift as well?
Thanks very much in advance.
