can't baldurise it! I even tried doing it in various programs like Gimp, Paint and later in Photoshop(I felt like stereotypical blond at the time) but the results were far from "good". So I'll stop rabbling , here's the awesome photo of some model found on the internet, I dont know who made it, it's on various sites, theres no info about it:

It fits actually every class, but it begs for a proper balduralization, which YOU!(yes I'm looking at YOU!) can achieve with your EXTRAORIDINARY skills!   :devil:

I actually could live with default portraits but this photo fits so much for an adventurer, some mage, mage/warrior, basically every class.

Oh and I think he doesn't need any armour really, too much work to make it I think, but I'm not an expert!

Hey are there any tutorials for baldurising portraits using GIMP? All I can find are tutorials for Photoshop(aka Womans Best Friend), but I dont have acces to one anymore. I even tried baldurising the photo with Microsoft Photo Editor , so I get quite desperate ;P

What do you mean by "baldurise" it? If you just want to use it in-game... [L] [S]

Thanks for the link, by the way. Downloaded and may use it in the future.

By baldurising I mean making them look like it was drawn, just like official BG portraits. There was a site Karwal.dk/portraitportal which had such edits. But but site no longer exists, so I seek help here, 'cause it seems to be the only place to ask for "balduralization" ;)

I'm happy somebody found that portrait good!

The dimensions of this are such that I'm going to have to crop it as part of the sizing process. Would you prefer to keep as much of the tats as possible, resulting in an off-center image, or a more centered portrait?

If by more centered you mean cutting the tit, thats fine by me, altough I'd like the beard to stay.  The portrait looks great, especially the hair!
