Hehe I never thought I'd work on this again . Erm.. are you meaning something like this? Oh and by the way, what's 'emo'? (Please excuse, I'm ESL )



And here comes something else..

God no, emo boys are getting everywhere.
Nice work on Immy although the lip piercing could do with a slight adjustment.

Emo:
Genre of softcore punk music that integrates unenthusiastic melodramatic 17 year olds who dont smile, high pitched overwrought lyrics and inaudible guitar rifts with tight wool sweaters, tighter jeans, itchy scarfs (even in the summer), ripped chucks with favorite bands signature, black square rimmed glasses, and ebony greasy unwashed hair that is required to cover at least 3/5 ths of the face at an angle.

::sniff sniff:: "The Demise of the Siberian Traintracks of Our Rusty Forgotten Unblemished Love" sounds like it would make a great emo band name. ::cry::

emo:
a) short for the term emotional...in a musical sense
B) music derived in the 80's... with such bands as Rites of Spring, Texas is the Reason, and more.
c) can be used to describe a person who listens to emo, can relate to most of it and then cry because they can relate to it and not just because its emo.

emo music is not punk.

emo music usually contains lyrics which have a desperate side to them. written usually about a past girlfriend or experience.

anyone up for a nalia or aerie?

anyone up for a nalia or aerie?

Here's Aerie goth-ized.

[Rabain]

Very nice, I actually prefer this to original Aerie!

Thank you, Rabain! :^^:

Also, here's my take on Nalia as a goth:

[Thorium Dragon]

Also, here's my take on Nalia as a goth:

I like it, but it the skin looks a bit too white. I think it looks less "goth" than "vampire"- it's a tough balance, I'm sure.

I think the skin-tone on Aerie is closer to the mark.

It also might be her clothing that is throwing things off..you don't often find goths in yellow's, blue's and browns!

I'd go with making her armour black/grey and her cloack, white / black-grey stripes perhaps.

But nice!

Thanks for the criticism! Is this better? I couldn't produce the exact same skin tone as Aerie's but I think it's close enough...

Also, here's a pic where the clothes have been re-coloured and the background darkened.

Excellent! Looking at the edits here, I think the trick to "gothisizing" a face is to give it a very pale (but not unnaturally so) face with prominant, dark eyeshadow.

Also, you must be a mindreader, because you added the darker clothes and background while I was typing this response, and that was my next suggestion!

Nah, I noticed your post after I'd posted, did a 20 min re-colouring according to your instructions and then edited my post to include the pic.

In any case, I'd love to see your goth take on Jaheria or any of the other unassigned BG2 female portraits. You seem to have a knack for this type of portrait edit.

[Erephine]

Thread split for easier navigation, and to reflect the "new" topic.

Very interesting work so far! You've left me looking forward to more.... :^^:

Your wish is my command.



A paler version of Mazzy.

And also, here is Jaheira as a goth.



A slightly different version of Jae.

By the by, thank you all for the comments!

Edit (didn't want to double post)

Made an attempt to make Viconia a goth, here's the result:



Also, I just finished with Anomen. D'you think I over-did the paleness on him?

[minnamaarit]

Wow, IMO Goth Anomen look much better than the original one!!Good work there.

Baldur's Goth II: die Industrie von Amn

(because Goth MUST be in German and it MUST have the word "Industrie" in it )


Very nice work with all of those. Gothicize others, too!

I did some more, but I'm not sure I did so well with these.

Jan (His eyes were hard, so I'm not so sure about them.)

And Sarevok, who was a pain in the ar... er, bottom.  



More to come.

Here are the rest:

Haer'Dalis
