Great pic, I particularly Like Jaheira. I'm not sure I interpret her expression right, though - with the way she's looking, I'm picturing her going "Goddammit! My breasts shrunk!"

It could be, it could so very much be

And it wasn't my intention to make her look like Jessica Rabbit, I just remembered that in BG2 one of her eyes was also nearly covered and I kinda, exaggerated it a bit

Well, this turned out quite well.

Gasp!

As usual, you can use any style and media you like - as long as the outcome is your own!

Infravision lets you "see temperature", so skin colour doesn't matter much (where did you hear that?). I think the most we'd be able to get out of it is a roughly person-shaped blob, but dark elves can use it to detect small details (like facial features). It's perfect for checking out "hot chicks". (Hey, it doesn't have to make sense, Wizards did it. )

Exactly.

However, considering that Drow have trouble when going out in sunlight, because the light is too bright, I'd say they have Darkvision, or in non-game terms, at least quite developed low-light vision. Of course, there has to be a little light from somewhere. Let's say it comes from mushrooms.

And of course, that still means that they see everything in shades of grey, unless they get some torches. And reading might be difficult too without light.

Hey, all, if we get all the NPC portraits done as Drow, perhaps we could turn this into a mod. I'm sure I've seen the concept before, but I'm not sure if it's been implemented? Anyway, no harm in having more than one version of a mod... Any thoughts?

[Kulyok]

It is not possible to "remember" which portraits the characters have been using before the drow transformation, and as such, it is not possible to reverse the transformation correctly - especially for multiplayer parties, or players who use portrait packs/alternative portraits. And, of course, there's the PC.

[Kaeloree]

Ahh, okay. That makes sense Scrap that idea, then! I think I'm going to have to Drow-ify my Sarevok, still... we'll see how that goes... *g*

Aawwww, Orthodoxia, I SO love your Haer'Dalis' face features^^'!

And Viconia looks... Well, simply beautiful.

Thank you. His tattoos are my favorite on the picture. And strangely, I thought that Imoen's sudden red eye would be most noticed.

Someone asked for Drow-ified Sarevok

Here, Sarevok was having his well deserved vacation between the games (as all great villains do) when the sudden appearance of his evil- chaotic good younger sister spoiled his plans for beach party yet again.

You can just tell she's hooked on being a drow and is firmly resolved to introduce the rest of her large family into its black joys.

Mwahahahaha, that is full of awesome, Orthodoxia!! Go Drow!Sarevok!

[Neferit]

Orthodoxia, you're soooo evil!

Well, I did notice her red eye, but I didn't comment on it, because I wasn't sure if it's actually the eye.



Oh, and I love the Drowification of Sarevok.

I felt I should give this a token effort, and because I think Ilmatar is, in actuality, an evil Drow lady...

Gasp! My sekrit is out! Now where is my mighty sacrificial dagger...

Pfft, 1d4 points of damage doesn't count as "mighty". If I want to kill a first-level wizard, I'd use a common house cat. It's cheaper, cuter and generally more effective... not to mention, stylish.

K'aeloree's edit is nice, but dark elves need to be dark. Everybody always draws them too pale.

My version has a really bad hair day... and I think she turned out a little too blue.

Hmm, maybe we should turn this into a challenge as well somewhere down the line. Drow-i-fy your moderator's avatar...

[Galsic]

As always, good show, Orthodoxia .

I ultimately plan on drowizing all the Bioware ladies (not sure I'll do any of the guys), but as a preview, here's the first one I more or less finished, though she may be subject to additional minor touch-ups (please tell me you recognize her). Though I originally intended to post them all at once when I was done with them, I post her now for two reasons: 1) Cuz I couldn't help myself and 2) I may need some comments on her; things I could possibly improve on and whatnot before I move on to the other five (for whom the linart's already done). Anyhoo, have a looksee and tell me what you think .

I do recognise her. However in that exact matter it is not necessary a good thing.

Any comments? one. Her left (that means right on the portrait) eye needs redoing. Now she looks as if she had squint. Also, as vilkacis already mentioned, drow have actually *black* skin. Not brown. Although if that is a stylish edit for aristic benefit I doubt anyone will mind.
Also I would redo lips, if I were you. But then, I can't draw even if my life depends on it XD So basically I am just trying to give some constructive (more or less... rather less as I feel lazyXD) criticism here .

[vilkacis]

Hmph. Well, since this was kind of my idea and all, I feel I should do something that at least approaches the dreaded "making an effort" line. Here's my first attempt at a full CG! Guess who...?



Also known as, "I lost my CGing virginity, and it hurt! "

Any similarity with Amber's portrait is a coincidence, goddammit.

Oh, and HOW TEH HELL DO I SUPPOSED TO PHOTOSHOP HAIR. IT ARE DISASTERIFFIC. SRSLY. HOW DO YOU PEOPLE DO IT. /caps

[Alatariel]

Oh, I see you have read the 'official' novels, Vilk. Dreadful. The novels, I mean.
