1. Are you looking for original art, photoshopped art or a portrait edit?
Photoshopped original art that will fit right in with my BG 2 mod!

2. Male or female? What race, age and character class, possibly alignment?
Male, githyanki, clearly around 32 (by human years), Fighter/Mage, Lawful Evil

3. Describe the character's features (face, eyes, hair, clothing, etc)

Name: Feng'Sraosha'dar (NPC Companion mod)

He has an angular face with a defined Adam's apple, high cheekbones, Asiatic eyes with catlike pupils and thin lips. Like all giths he has a small, straight nose with snakelike nostrils. His hair is shoulder-length and he has multiple silver piercings in his ears. There are a few ritual notches cut into them.


Clothing:

Black and deep red hanfu (reference included) brown leather vambraces with armor inlaid with some knotwork in silver with garnets. It's a refined, tasteful look befitting a kith'rak (captain) in the githyanki military. Scarring would be appropriate, given his training, even though he's more of a spellcaster.


4. What color preferences do you have (skin, eyes, hair, armor, clothing, etc)?
Black hair with brown lowlights, steel-grey (slightly darker ring) irises. I want to avoid the 'loud yellow' look when it comes to his skintone. A pale golden-yellow will suffice with the typical mottled pattern of speckling for a gith along the neck and temples. If needed I will add a colour swatch

5. Would you like a weapon, a spell effect or an item to be shown in the portrait? If so, what kind?
I'm not picky....just keep it Baldurized

A hanwei blade with a faint aura indicating it would be a +1 longsword. Nothing loud. Background should conform to a BG standard

6. What kind of a background would you like?
I leave that to the artist. Posted Image

7. What kind of an expression would you like the character to have? Dangerous, happy, serene, mysterious, playful, sad, etc etc?

His entire demeanor is that of a soldier, but has a definite edge of someone approachable and accustomed to being an 'older brother' and mentor-figure.


8. Do you have a portrait you would like to be used as a model/reference picture (for pose, expression, looks, colors, etc...)? Post it here if you have:

See the very bottom for the pose.

9. Time limit:

Sooner rather than later, but no need to rush.

Hair:
Hair style reference
Long in back, shorter font, likely fastened with a hair clip

Clothing/Armour:
Sword reference picture - Chinese Hanwei blade

Colour Scheme for Hanfu Robe

Pattern for Hanfu
Note: the sleeves would be cut narrower to facilitate freedom of movement when wielding a blade and easier wrapping to fit under the vambraces.

I doubt you will find someone who would make a githyanki portrait. That would be a LOT of editing and it would probably wouldn't end with a full success. I know this portrait was used in a different project, but it was never finished/released and currently is inactive. You may want to take a look at it.

Actually, that picture is perfect for an important side-NPC in the mod. That just saved me a lot of hunting around. :hug:

Make sure you get the author's permission -- I'm pretty sure he's still around. http://www.sporeboy.com/ as I recall.

If worse comes to worse, I'll try my hand at making the art for Feng and the npcs myself. :ph34r:
