Various alt NPC portraits

Re Nathaniel - I don't play him so I'm not sure what he is supposed to look like. I did read his writeup, though, so unless he had a career change I assumed the Fist would be wearing full plate armor or better, and the default was in a green shirt because that's what the model was wearing for the photoshoot, real life platemails being hard to come by. XD I also thought his default portrait was blond, though maybe that is just my eyes? Someone who plays him should let me know if he's lore correct or if he dual classed to a thief or mage or something.
As for the BWP, I had my experiences with that. They weren't, ahem, pleasant, though I can speak German and follow even the Deutsch support. It may be colored by the wasted installation hours of my life that I will never get back, that didn't include Ascension anyway, but I really don't feel like redoing every single NPC featured in BWP, especially since a lot if them are for BG1! If there is some list of BG2 only NPCs that includes their default portraits I might take a look, but for the meantime i am only doing mods I play and special target requests, like Fade and Nathaniel. Sorry! Though you could seek out MiLeah at petalsandthorns.com, last I checked she was doing an awesome Gavin picture among others. :-)

About Fade: that's no problem, a little recolouring and I have my female red wizard portrait done! It's a shame, though, I really thought this girl's eyes looked like a tiefling:-(. I don't actually play Fade or the TB mod, so maybe you(Lava) can point me to some celebrity or models whom you think look like those female portraits (Fade, Kachiko and Sime) and I can save myself a bit of future editing time.
Note to other portrait requesters: I refuse to put Jude Law in anything else besides Xan. After shopping around a bit it seems that poor guy has the most overused face in allof BG portrait modding history. XD
Added to the female roster is Nikita, unreleased NPC by CoM Solaufein. This is because I offered to help him before I started working on a portrait pack. Which reminds me also, he is in dire need of beta testers for Nikita so please help him out if you got some free time.

This is an indirect link to the CoM download because my iPad can't handle opening a direct one. But Nikita will be having one of my portraits as an option after beta (I hope) so let that be a motivator if you like my work? ;-)

As for Sime - I would say this is rather ok (the 2nd one). However, she should be in a leather armour. What's more, maybe she would need a hood... she also has a garland in her invectory, but I think there's no need to include it in the picture.
That would be nice Kachiko, but the problem is the shoot itself. I guess you would need a better shot. From a bigger distance.

light version
dark version
I will admit I did not put a lot of hock into the dark version, but I want to be done with the male portraits already. XD

By the way, that model Marianne Guidotti is Brazilian-Filipino. POWER TO THE PINOY! (I am part Filipino too XD )

I believe Kachiko shouldn't be smiled. She isn't really cheerful character. I think she's quite harsh, yet good.

I have never seen a picture more suited for a straight lift to Viconia's portrait before, so that's just what I did. I left out all those wild freaky tattoos in the default portrait, though. They bugged me. XD
The base image is Faestock, as suggested:

After I finish this one and Nikita, that's it for open requests. I really, really need to finish this project up and it just... keeps... expanding. Originally I started it because I wanted a more immersive game, and in the end I haven't touched my running BG game for a while now. So, I'll be finishing up Bodhi, Elvira, Seas, Suna Seni and Suu and that's it. And maybe that alternate Mazzy picture, if I don't run out of steam by then. We'll see.

BTW, don't you think Fade is a bit... faded? I adjusted the colours a bit.

I've been thinking about the Sime portrait. The problem with shopping in a smile is that they are difficult to do. Smiles thin the lips and change the musculature around the eyes, cheeks and mouth significantly - which changes where the shadows fall. Thats why shopped in smiles usually look "weird" when you see them in photomanips. (I actually was a decent realist portrait and hand artist before I went manga style years ago. I was one of those people folks hired to do charcoal pictures of their kids at the local medieval festival, that kind of thing, so I do know a little bout this anatomy stuff. Applying it to fictional pictures is a beast of a different nature though... )
What I came up with is a compromise that might make both of us happy (or make you unhappy if you look at it one way, LOL) - this portrait you chose for Sime is actually a fairly good replacement for the portrait portal Suna Seni that comes from the Unfinished Business mod. The default Suna Seni is much too light, much too saturated and her head is too big, but the post, the blondness, and the hood colour are the same as my original Sime. So, my idea is to take that portrait and make her Suna Seni, and do a completely new Sime. But this time I will choose the model, and I'll get one with a smile. I hope that will be satisfactory, and it will save me quite a bit of work. Which means I might actually have enough energy left over to do the "Mazzy in Armour" portrait which will make other people happy as well.
