Hi, I'm new on this board =]
Since a long time ago I recolored the whole bunch,
but i only posted it on my own webpage and never anywhere else..
Perhaps i was frightened because it was not my own work. I only recolored them.
However before they fully rot on my pc or i delete them on a whim i thought i post them here for everyone.

Very nice.

I particularly like the drow versions; I've always wondered if I could get a complete set somewhere and then maybe use them for npc portraits in Ust Natha. I'm sure one of the reasons this hasn't already been done is that there aren't good enough drowified versions of the NPCs - there may well be technical reasons too, but that's surely the first issue. Are you still working on these?

I'm sure I've seen some other NPCs done up drow-like, I'm trying to cobble together whatever I can and the ones you've done are certainly saved by me for now. Well done.

Note: None of this means I'm looking personally to mod something like the above, even if it can be done, I personally don't have the experience and knowledge. I would just be sticking 'em in the override for personal usage I suppose.

Thank you for your comment prune, i really appreciate it =]
If you want to put them in your override folder, you're welcome to do so.

Currently I don't work on them anymore, but after your comment I felt like to drowify a character once more. ^^
Soo here is my drowified version of Anomen, I hope you like it..

http://www.virtual-c...bimagex10bg.bmp or on my page.. We're apparently not allowed to post .bmp files =?
It was a good deal of work, because brown hair isn't really easy to change into white hair and oh his beard was also difficult to remove... =]
Furthermore I wasn't able to remove the helm symbole, which disturbs the picture.
I had the idea to hide it under a cloak, but I don't have the skill for this and no character has one.

Should be able to upload and attach them if you're logged in.

Sure it is .

For the symbol, you'd probably have to redraw that bit of the armour or swap it with another (tedious work there).

I like them, especially Jan's portraits !
(too bad there's no larger version...)

Yeah, but they still won't be shown in the forum.  tlbimagex10bg.bmp   55.17K   328 downloads
But if you upload the image in a .png format, you'll not loose any quality, colors... and the forum will allow you to show it.

@Jarno Mikkola
I rather like .jpg files =]

@Miloch
Unfortunately i didn't found a fitting cloak or similiar here.
But I found something which could hide it on an other picture.
It's a picture from Guilem Hernandez Pongiluppi.

However there doesn't exist a large version of Drow-Anomen anymore now =?

I also darkened the picture a little bit, so that it will be perfectly showed in bg2 and corrected some details.
Furthermore I made his face more slender to let him appear more elvish. x]



@Sanctifer
Thank you, there is a larger version of (nearly) every picture.. =]
Here are the larger versions of Jan, but I remaked them,
because I noticed that some things aren't as good as they could be.
If you want the previous versions, I can give them to you as well.
I also corrected the small ones. ^^

ah and p.s. i unfortunately lost the large picture of the last Jan with the gray hair..
I hope he was not the Jan you liked the most of them x?

Very nice. I thought the first one of Anomen was fine, but the second is even better. Good luck if you keep at it, otherwise it's still great art that you've produced.

[Sanctifer]

Well thank you, 1st.Chris, i'm gonna use one of them to replace Jan's default portrait !
