He does kind of look like Mr. Banderas now that you mention it but it isn't him. Frankly, I don't know who this guy is but his pic was the best one I could find for this particular portrait.

I could be wrong, but it looks suspiciously like Orlando "Legolas" Bloom...

You have go to be kidding... there is NO WAY for him to look even similar to Orli and You say he looks like my sweet elf...blasphemy

Ouch, sorry, I thought you were using Photoshop. I dont really know about other programs, and... wow, cant imagine working without layers!

But then, opacity and some shadows maybe?

Looks rather like the fella (after some serious photo editing) to me .

[Jenova]

OK...he is indeed quite...similar. But it can't be him! It is just impossible!

But both of them (Orli and Coran) are sooo handsome!

This is NOT Orlando Bloom. Like I said, I don't know who this guy is. As much as I LOVE Mr. Bloom , I wouldn't use a celebrity that famous to make a mod portrait.

Here is the original portrait of this handsome young man.

Anyone know who this is?

Okay I tweeked and tweeked and tweeked and I can't tweek no more. I still have to do a mask or tatoo version but I still need to know what you guys think


MASK or TATOO?

What can I say? It's wonderful and very Coran

Thanks Miss Domi, I'm so happy you like it.

Now I still need some help. Do you guys think in Coran's original portrait that he was wearing a mask or had a tatoo? Let me know the verdict so I can tweek accordingly.

[Immortality]

Tatoo!!!!

[Jenova]

Do you guys think in Coran's original portrait that he was wearing a mask or had a tatoo?

Definitly a tatoo

[Melisah]

I'm glad you guys are thinking it's a tatoo, I thought so too. I guess the fact that it's painted on his face should have told me something too.

Also, a tatoo is a lot easier to make.

[Melisah]

I thought it was just war dye... IIt is not elaborate enough to be permanent me thinks. BTW, I used to make interesting tatoos by copying guild (?) symbols from PST and overlaying them in Shop...I'll give it a try if you do not mind

Go ahead and see what you can do Domi and send me the results.

[Melisah]

By the way guys, I also think it's some kind of war dye or paint. What do you all suggest I do to make it look right?

[Melisah]

Lovely portrait. The final version is much better - but I actually liked the old lips, as they looked err bitten? Verry in character I say. As for the mask - I think it is a face paint, not a tattoo. A war paint. Elves are known to paint their faces when in the forest to blend with the foliage. And since your Coran is so pale it makes sense. Btw - maybe you can make the skin tone a bit darker too?

Thanks Dorethea, I'm glad you like it. Actually making his skin tone a bit darker should be easy enough to do. The reason I smoothed his lips was because in the game, they looked weird and blurry before so I kind of had too. I didn't want to though. Now all I have to do is figure out how to the face paint so it looks like face paint and not a super imposed image.

You have a point there... and I think it is the correct anwser! (Who want's to sponsor the prize? )

And since your Coran is so pale it makes sense. Btw - maybe you can make the skin tone a bit darker too?

And that's another good suggestion, but I'm not sure if it will fit him. He is a moon elf, right?

[Melisah]

His skin does look rather tan in the original portrait so I took Dorethea's advice and darkened it a little. I tried to put the war paint on him as well and I think I did okay but someone with a little more experience using this photoshop may be able to do a bit better. I think it suits him though.

EDIT: Looking at it now I wonder if the paint isn't a little bit dark. I can lighten it up a little and see how that works.
