Lately I've been messing around with GIMP trying to get a BG2 style portrait out of a drawing or a picture. Below are a couple of efforts at it. The first is from a drawing (and also one I'm using for something I'm working on). The one on the bottom is done from a photograph. It is also the more recent of the two portraits. Also note that I didn't focus much on anything but the face in the second portrait, so the hood and padded armor likely look fairly unfinished. I'll probably post some more as I do them, whenever that may be.

Since I'm still working on improving, I'm open to constructive criticism - tips on anything, really. Shading, highlights, texture, smoothness, etc. I'd appreciate any such feedback. I've already gotten some tips that have helped a lot, but having more is always good! Thanks a lot!

Sorry for not showing the images here, but apparently BMP isn't allowed to be shown on this site and I don't currently have them in JPG or PNG.

Here's a redo of of Anomen's portrait.  Originally I was just using Anomen as a base for skin tone and also to get the proportions of the head correct in relation to the size of the portrait, but I decided not to change out the armor, at least not for now.
