    Wondering if anyone could give a shot in making a BG-stylish portrait for Jaheira from this lovely picture?

    @Isandir:

    I've done some photos in a medieval-like style and I wonder if you could baldurize a couple of them, I would be really grateful to you! :D

    Here is the link to the photos: personally I have in mind to modify the second one and the fourth one, possibly with mail or plate armor black with some red inside (like the bracers).

    Sorry for my "fishy" eyes but I was to a carnival party in a club and the Rock side of the club was in the Smoking room, LoL, but I trust photoshop for a better gaze! XP



    Last request (hope you would not kill me): could you possibly blend the baldurization you've made @Aedan here with the armor of Brandobaris you' ve made here?

    That would be great! ;D

    Thanks for everything you can do for my requests! :D

    I don't suppose anyone has done one based on Anakin Skywalker?

    Who? Do you mean Darth Vader? I think the difficulty with such a picture is that we don't have any frame of reference for what he looked like when he was Anakin Skywalker.
    Tsk, your Star Wars-fu is weak. Anakin Skywalker is clearly in RotJ, in the penultimate scene! He's standing there with Yoda and Obi-Wan as a Force ghost. He may be a bit older than before he became Darth Vader, but it is a frame of reference!

    Of course! Played by Sebastian Shaw! How could I forget?

    Speaking of, I think there's something wrong with my DVD copy. It looks like they replaced Anakin Skywalker with that kid from Life as a House. What was up with that?

    Clearly you must have a corrupt version.

    @Freche that's a good picture, the only difficult part would be covering her modern Earth-looking shirt with armor or something. The hair makes it tricky.

    Edit: well I haven't touched the clothes, but here's my attempt at "baldurizing" the pic:

    Here's a comparison with the original:

    Love the Daniel Craig one. I just have to come up with a concept now...

    You should do a leather armour version though, Bond is arguably more Assassin than Fighter.

    Where did you get the pics for Tyrion and Jon Snow? Who's the artist?

    That's DavidDeb from Deviant Art.

    More awesome to awesome.
    You did a wonderful work with the helm. The beard and the hair are both perfect and the background is a nice touch as well.
    It is the right portrait for a blackguard character!

    @Aedan (and @Metalloman): Thank you! I've been trying out a few different techniques for "Baldurization," and I'm getting a better hang of it than I had when I made some of the previous portraits. (That includes darker backgrounds to fit the style of the default portraits.) On that note, here's the revised version of you that combines the two portraits. The large version shown here is heavy on the blur, but it blends in well in-game.

    @Isandir: I can't say nothing but WOW!!
    Great work, friend, really!
    I like the way you' ve baldurized that photo, I' m completely satisfied! Great work with @Aedan' s Brandobaris Halfling too! :D

    Well, try the other photo only if you're curious to see what comes out (I'm curious too), feel free to experiment, I like to see that you are able to do awesome work every time you post a portrait! :D

    Can anyone baldurize this picture? It's Aela the Huntress from Skyrim. Thanks!

    Here's my version: the first portrait is a close up in line with other BG portraits. The other ones show a little more, but are still cropped (because of the little watermark and all).

    Hope you like it.

    Love your work, thanks a bunch for making these!

    Do you happen to have a version between the first (total close up) and second (moderate closeup) pictures? Im trying to get the picture size relatively close to my other portraits and a middle ground between these 2 would be perfect. Not as close up as the first, but a little more closer than the 2nd.

    Thanks again :)

    Glad you like it!

    Is that okay?

    If it's still not close/far enough, give me a little reference of where you would like the image to be cropped on the vertical axis - the three stripes with gems on her suit should help pointing it out.

    (I can also send you a "full version" for you to crop it out, but if you're not sure how to do it, don't worry, I'm glad to help).
  • jdemastjdemast Member Posts: 35
    @Kilivitz

    If you have the full version that would be great, I'm not sure exactly where the axis needs to be cropped at offhand, it would be eyeballed is my guess.

    Thanks for all your work on this!

    @jdemast

    Alright, here's the edited image without any cropping. If you have any trouble cropping it/saving it, let me know or refer to this thread:

    That's great, I always wanted to see a decent portrait based on Khal Drogo.

    ...because we all know that there's only one true movie Conan. Right?

    Right?
