Nice necklace Though the enchanted brooch is missing. Remember the one Bhaalspawn bought her in the docks district?

Never got that far in the Jaheira romance. Personally I can't stand her, but whatever.

[Sir Kalthorine]

I like it... a lot! The "don't mess with me" look in the latest version is 100% Jaheira.

I also don't think hair colour is really an issue, since these are meant to be alternative pics after all. So long as you don't draw her as a male dwarf or anything, I think poetic licence is something to be encouraged, as much as anything because it enables some useful debate about how people view certain characters.

Good work Ilmatar, can't wait to see the next one

[Dirt_Squirrel]

I must say that I completely agree with Sir Kalthorine 100%. These are indeed alternative portraits and Jaheira looks simply amazing!
I have always loved your work Ilmatar and I can't wait to see the next portrait you choose to do!

Cernd became a HUNK! I'm thinking of maybe giving him similar feathers to his hair that he has in the original portrait, but I'm not sure. What do you guys think of this one?

[vilkacis]

That's awesomer (<- if that wasn't a word before, it is now!) than Jaheira!

And he definitely needs feathers. Feathers good. *nodnod*

[Rabain]

Both great portraits.

The left shoulder (his right) looks a bit odd being that bare and lower than the right in my opinion.

I wish I could draw like you...

[Ilmatar]

Thank youuuu! The feathers were a pain. Seriously. Also added some texture to the clothes - I hope the picture is a bit more balanced now.

[EvaineDian]

Oh wow, he looks so hot!
Now I wish someone could give Cernd interesting content, so that I can finally take him along.

(The only thing that still "bothers" me about your Jaheira is her eye colour, but I can change that myself, too, if I want to use your portrait pack.)

Isn't it good being a photoshop whiz? Thank youuuu!

[vilkacis]

Yay feathers! And they're nice feathers, too. Believe it or not, that makes it even more awesomer.

<demanding bastard>
But they look a little... uh, how should I say... like they're going "sproing!", the way they're going off in different directions. It makes my eyes want to follow them in both directions at once: <_>

I'd make one of them point down, maybe like that vvv


Also, looking at his official portrait again, maybe make the marks on his face slightly greener?

Goddammit. I hate painting feathers You're right though. I will continue banging my head to the keyboard with the feathers but later, because my forehead is starting hurt.

These are altenative! I don't want to copy the originals. I'm making my own. So now they're blue, dammit.

[WeeRLegion]

Wowz0rs! Definitely Awesome.
Maybe more hippy gear to define his nature further, but really great looking thus far.

[Clary]

Um, wow. I never thought I'd have occasion to place "Cernd" and "good-looking" in the same sentence together.

[Kaeloree]

Well, EvaineDian, the IEP (and SConrad) plan on adding rather substantially to Cernd's content, so...

They look awesome so far, Ilmatar, can't wait to see more!

[vilkacis]

Well, it seems to be worth the effort. Like I said, they are nice feathers.

I won't argue, he's quite pretty in blue as well.

Music to my ears!

[Ilmatar]

Now the feathers go the same way!

[berelinde]

Nice!

[Vizeteufel]

I don't mean to be pestering, but to me it seems like the feathers are kind of err stuck together ^^; The left feather should be more straight, it looks a bit snapped off

Except for this issue, the feathers look really nice

>.>

<.<

I still think the part below the feathers looks too empty *hides*

[Ilmatar]

Oh well, I'll return to work on the bloody feathers later. But here's an unfinished Yoshimo! I'm throwing some serious alternative stuff here - short hair and black clothes for starters. The outfit, the katana and the background are tewtally unfinished, but the face is almost there. What do you peeps think?
