If you're not aware, in Ascension, Bosslissan offers Sarevok the option to turn- including offering to cancel the geas if it's been put on him.  Traditonally, if Sarevok is good, he goes 'lolnope', if Sarevok is evil and you're evil, he basically tells her he's had better offers, but in any other case, he flips.  As this mod doesn't change Sarevok's alignment, then you could be in the position of romancing Sarevok, even intending to go down the godhood path, and still have Sarevok go traitor on you if the mods aren't designed to go together.

So, I must ask, are they?  Does the Sarevok Romance mod 'notice' Ascension and change the triggers, or will I have to run without Ascension?

'Ello.  I finally got a portrait, so I think it's time to try and get some voicing.

Please do.  This is the line I need voiced, as well as the full soundset.  If you want to do only a few lines, and send it to me, that's fine, or if you want to do the whole thing and then send it to me, that's also fine.

'I am a Windwalker.  Altan is my name.  My usual duty is guarding caravans, but... without caravans, there's no one to guard.  So I'm looking to sign on with an Adventuring Company and find out why that is.  And to explore places and generally adventure and all that.  And you seem to be an Adventuring Company, of sorts.'

To summarize: I need a man with elvish background with dark skin and white hair, but not a drow.  To go in more detail: tada, below!

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

I care not, though I have had notable difficulty finding a piece of art to even photoshop.  If you can find one with the right colors or have skill with changing them, go for it.  This character does appear in BG1 and I plan to continue him to BG2, so a portrait edit can't look *too* much like the already there NPCs to prevent confusion.  Honestly, though, while I'd like to have a portrait at least resembling the BG2 portraits, this request is difficult enough that I'm honestly fine with whatever style it is as long as you can get the 3/4 answers lined up.

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

Male, Air Gensai with a bit of elvish blood... but from Calimshan.  He's a cleric/ranger, CG.

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

With both the gensai and the elvish blood, his features should be a bit delicate, though he's not effeminate.  Jaheria's half-elf features are a good example: not quite the same tilt to the eyes as Aerie/Viconia have, but still a bit more angled then the humans.  His hair is shorter then most of the BG2 males wear theirs (a bit past the ears, perhaps, or just above it), but rather messy (if you can't do messy, just have a few strands hanging over his eyes).  He should be wearing leather, studded leather, or chain- whatever is easiest for you.  If you have the skill, putting a cloak on him would be good.

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

This is the hard part.  His skin is dark- Valygar's shade, if not a bit darker.  His eyes are dark brown.  His hair, though, is white.  The armor, if leather, should be dyed black... chain should probably be dyed black, too, but I know that's a bit harder to do.  If you managed to fit in the cloak, it would be a dark purple.

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

If you really want to try and put flail or sling in the portrait, go for it, but I'm not really going to ask for something so complicated.

6. What kind of a background would you like?

Not all that important to me.  If you can, an open sky in the background would be nice- blue with clouds- but I don't care if you just put in a blur or have no background as long as you can get the NPC looking halfway like I described him. ;;

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

Flighty and thoughtful are both words you'd use to describe him.  So just having him look pretty neutral while staring in the distance, or perhaps having him look ponderous is fine.  He shouldn't be scowling, but he shouldn't really be beaming, either.

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!

I'm afraid I don't.

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

Any of the three methods would be fine.

10. Any deadlines?

This is a busy season, so no.  I'll likely be working on this mod for another month or two, at least: I just wanted to get the portrait request out soon, so it can be done.  I mean, obviously I'd prefer it as soon as possible, but at the same time, no rush.

11. What game and what mod is this for?

Currently a BGEE/Tutu/BGT mod, though I have plans to take the character in to BG2.  As for mod?  Er... my mod, I suppose.  I don't have a forum or anything yet, but I can promise that the mod will be done and you will of course be credited.  I don't give up on projects once I start them.  >.>

12. Anything else you'd like to mention?

I really appreciate anyone taking a try on this.  Thank you!
