Hey guys and gals! I'm in the process of breathing life into a hauntingly beautiful NPC wizardress, but my "photoshoppic" skills are lackluster at best. I'd truly appreciate if any skilled artist would lend me a helping hand (...or brush, as it were). I've attached a photography of my friend below, and I'd basically like this photography to be edited into something befitting a BG2 mod or/and a NwN mod. Oh, and the questionaire:

1. Are you looking for original art, photoshopped art or a portrait edit?

Portrait edit.

2. Male or female? What race, age and character class, possibly alignment?

Female, human, 21, red wizard of Thay, lawful evil.

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

See photography below.

4. What color preferences do you have (skin, eyes, hair, armor, clothing, etc)?

I'd like her skin to have a darker, bronze-golden hue. Conversely, I wouldn't mind a very pale version either. The eyes I imagine to be opalesque or possibly amber. She is bald, so hair is of no concern. Clothing-wise, she wears a red robe as is customary for all Thayans. It would be a very nice detail if her robe was held together by a golden brooch (pin) depicting the Thayan symbol, the 8 schools of magic.

5. Would you like a weapon, a spell effect or an item to be shown in the portrait? If so, what kind?

Nothing of the sort.

6. What kind of a background would you like?

Typically BGish. Maybe a reddish skye streaked with reddish clouds.

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

The expression is already captured in the photography.

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!

Done.

9. Should the artist post the portrait here, or PM or email it to you?

Here is fine. A PM is welcome too, though.

10. Any deadlines?

If possible, I'd like the portrait done before November.

11. What game and what mod is this for?

BG2 and NwN. I'm primarily aiming for a NwN mod, but I'm definitely considering making her into a joinable BG2 NPC, as well.

12. Anything else you'd like to mention?

It would be very nice if the artist could decorate her face with an elegant tattoo. The design I leave to the artist.

THANK-YOU IN ADVANCE,
