But yes! It was not originally intended to be Khalid, but after our conversation the other day, I turned it into him. Or I tried to. Whatever. ^^

I thought it turned out fine. He could be a little thicker, and is missing that kind of Roman lorica armor Khalid's original portrait had, but it kind of has that sweet-goof feel Khalid should have. Plus, if you use BG1NPC, they explained his stutter and kinda shaky courage as gifts from a forcible stay with the Zhent's. So the scar across the cheek really fits.

Really enjoy the new pictures and look forward to whenever/if ever new ones come out.

Okay, finally updated the .zip with the alternates + some new PCs! Zip here http://www.deviantar...phe-d2eghlt.zip

Wicked! Man, Drow skin has to be the worst thing ever to paint, right? Either do it midnight blue so you can actually highlight and get details, or do it ebony and try not to have a Rorschach with red eyes.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record - first row, very right - is that ginger Khalid?

Huhhh not sure if I missed something... stayed up three hours to fight through the Black Pits and it was nothing more than horde mode?? (Although I kind of suspected that, which is why I had avoided it til now. xD) That got old pretty fast. Did I miss the part where you could get Baeloth to join your party? >_>; IN ANY CASE... at least he seems like a pretty interesting character. There's no shortage of mad mages in BG, is there? At least I have a much better idea of his character now. Should be way more fun to paint him than to play his gladiator games. ^^ Have to wait til tomorrow, though, since he made me stay up all night already.

Looking forward to ginger Khalid though!

Thanks, guys!! I guess I need to get around to actually sizing/bitmapping everything now, but I have a few updates done (including tattooed version of Minsc, hooded Edwin, the darker Viconia). Adding tattoos to Sarevok has also been requested, so I'll probably throw that in there, too.

 

As far as new portraits, I'm always working on something (whether or not it's anything usable is another story ), but I can get started on the new NPC for sure! The thing is, I can't find anything on it anywhere, even knowing it's a drow... the only search result I get in regards to drow is "Baeloth" who I think is from the Black Pits questline? And (at least my) update notes didn't mention anything about a new character... so if someone could give me some more info, I'd be happy to. Otherwise I could just draw a generic drow male who is presumably evil... but of course it'd be nice to have a bit more of a clue so I don't mess up expressions like with Dorn and Rasaad hehe...

Here's Baeloth's picture/char sheet. I'm not a huge fan of evil parties (although a NPC or two may sneak into the group), Baeloth is actually damn interesting. He's kind of like an over the top, alliterating, magical lanista, who loses his cool just eeeevery now and then and drow enough that even Viconia is like, 'Whoa.'. You'll want to pick him up as Edwin and Baeloth kind of have a bit of a one-upsmanship rivalry that looks like it could become full-on awesome in BG2.

I understood you Lava. I was just wondering, because she was supposed to be a blonde but the artist made her a brunette in the first game and they fixed it in the second. The Woman1 picture just kind of accidently looked like she was (sorta, kinda) supposed too! Anyways, it's close enough that it will become my new Harper for the time being. And I've bookmarked this page and the deviantart page so I can check up now and then to see when this new thing you were talking about eventually hits.

Just registered to say I downloaded this and absolutely love it. I love how it catches all the characters iconic looks and/or personalities, yet has a style all of it's own (Kinda inbetween BG and IWD, which is fantastic imo) and even has some unused PC avatars as well.

Two questions:

*Will this be updated for the new NPC introduced in yesterdays BG:EE update?

*Is the Woman1 picture supposed to be the 'canon' Jaheira? Since, other than her painting, she's supposed to be blonde haired and green eyed? The alternate Jaheira portrait in my original install looked more like a gnome or pixie, with the stern, auburn picture in a sub folder.
