Well done
Imho, black clothes don't stand out very well on that kind of background, it could look weird when resized to be the smaller portrait. You could solve this by increasing the saturation of the background or adding some colored light (blue?) on the man's shoulders.

I loved that dwarf edit when I saw it waaay back and I still love it! That must have been a difficult portrait to composite! Also, I like the man without glasses, though I agree with Epanitras about his clothing change, perhaps a recoloring would have been more suitable? Nice work regardless!

Thanks guys.

I've actually tested the latest portrait in 110x170 and 38x60 (the BG/IWD sizes) and it looks okay to me when Unsharp Mask is applied at 30% with 1,5 pixel radius (threshold level 0).

Feel free to test it yourselves though, and point out anything that catches your eye in the smaller versions... obviously you'd have to apply the Unsharp Mask first to get the same accuracy I had. For the record, I use PS.

Your work is amazing, I would like to fangirl drool over them if that makes any sense >.> I would ask you to edit a picture I use for bg2. Its one of my many download pictures I downloaded cause black people are uncommon in Amn except....Valygar for some reason.

Edited by request for darlarosa. I'm not taking any more requests at the moment.

I have to say, Kivan the Assassin is really cool!

[Archmage Silver]

Not a portrait as such, but I'll post it anyway; my new streamlined (as compared to my old IE games one) signature piece:

Could you post/upload each of them separately?

[Archmage Silver]

Sure, here you go:

What do you need them for?

[Daulmakan]

Just for using them as short cut icons. They look much better than the default ones.

Thanks.

No problem, I'm glad you like them.

I got into editing some portraits for a change, so I've updated this thread in the process as well. You can now find all the portraits in the first post, as well as around the thread. New edits:

Nice edits Archmage Silver! These changes seems very natural and I like that. I mean they don't overkill the old ones but giving them some nice alternate ones. Pale master is my fav from those two and I like the new backgrounds too!

Thanks for the comments, I hope to have some new ones up later.

I'm currently looking at editing two portraits from the BG series, and two from the NWN series.

Nice. Where is the "pale master" from, NWN?

[Archmage Silver]

Yes, and the background is from the art material I extracted and converted into BMP from Icewind Dale II (in this case it's Fell Wood).

[Archmage Silver]

Here's something new in my NWN series.

I have to say I really like your version of Korgan, and always use it as his portrait ingame
You're good !
