An original photoshopped portrait would be best.
2. Male or female? What race, age and character class, possibly alignment?
Male, Elven, in appearance around mid-twenties. Chaotic Neutral, though that won't factor in much. He's either going to be a new Bard kit or a new Mage kit, not entirely sure yet.
3. Describe the character's features (face, eyes, hair, clothing, etc)
Dravin has sharp features, a little less androgynous than people picture FR elves, with a slim nose, tilted eyes and a thin mouth. His jawline is sharp but not particularly square or wide. He has extremely white hair, silvery not blonde or blueish, and it's cut in a sort of shaggy style that falls into his eyes. He has a gold hoop earring in his left ear. His tunic has a Mao collar (google it if you're not sure, or look at the attached pictures) and is a deep scarlet/red in a heavy material. It's got a slightly military feel to it, and is structured more like a coat than a shirt. If you draw it undone (which it normally is) you'll have to include his tattoos. Pictures of those below. To avoid that you could just have his tunic actually done up. He doesn't have any leather or metal armour visible, but if you want you can include a thin baldric in brown leather.
4. What colour preferences do you have (skin, eyes, hair, armour, clothing, etc)?
Hair should be white/silver, without any kind of blond or blue tint. Eyes should be extremely bright blue, a sky-blue or cerulean shade. Skin should be quite pale. Clothing colours should be deep red, and if you want to embellish it, all details/embellishments/embroidery/whatever should be in dark gold. Get as crazy/not crazy with detailing as you want.
5. Would you like a weapon, a spell effect or an item to be shown in the portrait? If so, what kind?
Nope.
6. What kind of a background would you like?
Uh, the usual BG2 cloudy-stuff should be fine, or anything else you feel inspired to do. It's pretty open.
7. What kind of an expression would you like the character to have? Dangerous, happy, serene, mysterious, playful, sad, etc etc?
Smug? Smug or slightly amused, maybe a little mischievous. Alternatively, an ambitious person could do one where he looks ever-so-slightly sad/wistful, like he's had a bit of a rough go of it lately. Have fun with it. Because the portrait I already have is straight-on, I'd kind of like a 3/4ths view perhaps? Maybe a little more serious-looking than the portrait I made.
8. Do you have a portrait you would like to be used as a model/reference picture (for pose, expression, looks, colours, etc...)? Post it here if you have!
This is the portrait that I've already done for the mod:
And a lot more images of what he looks like (for different angles, expressions etc) can be found here.
If you're including the tattoos (recommended, because they're a major part of his class and background) they should be done in a deep blueish black.
The ones on his collarbones look like this:
And the one over his heart looks like this. It has a heavy scar running through it where the ink won't go though.
9. Should the artist post the portrait here, or PM or email it to you?
Anyone that wants to try should post it here. Basically I'm looking for this mod to have a couple different portrait options so that people can pick the one they like.
10. Any deadlines?
Absolutely not. This mod won't see the light of day for a while.
11. What game and what mod is this for?
BG2 with or without ToB, the Dravin mod.
12. Anything else you'd like to mention?
Nope. Have fun with this, really. I figure this is going to be a pretty 'niche' mod anyway, given that there are a lot of people who don't appreciate NPCs that come from outside the canon FR universe, but as my first mod I wanted to do something I was really comfortable with.
