...And it's two in the morning and I'm posting a topic, but oh well, here goes...

After doing countless charcoal and pencil sketches, paintings and sculptures in my AP Art Class, I realized distinctly how much I liked working with portraits. But after seeing so many incredible and inspirational pieces of art generated through Paint Shop, Poser, Photoshop etc, I decided it was about time to step it up. and try something new! I recently got a tablet and I absolutely adore it, but beyond me using it for my basic sketches and photography editing, I've never actually *painted* something with it. Until now.

I know that it's awfully horrendous and ghoulish compared to some of the fantastic art I've seen posted on here, but I will say that I am very happy with how it turned out despite the flaws it has.

Oh, and feel more that free to give me feedback. Whether it's praise or good ole' blunt criticism. I love the feeling of improving!


Srilorin ath'Jalin Zlauorateel - my NPC in progress

Okay, so I was incredibly fortunate to have a save just before entering Ust Natha.

Now, onto the shameless flattery.

Her banters were fantastic and amazingly in character both with her character concept itself as well as the drow. My favorites in particular were with Valygar, Edwin, and Viconia. The technical quality was great, there were no bugs (at least not that I found) no glitches, and everything just meshed together well. Overall she was a joy to have in my party, and the creativity involved was incredible from her interaction with the NPC's to her connection with House Despana and Phaere. She beats Yasraena by a mile in my opinion.

Lots of congrats!

Hello fellow people of Spellhold Studios. I am relatively new, and I hope to get involved in some of the many activities here. However, the concept of NPC's is intriguing and I would definetely like to try my luck with creating one.

Biography:

When asked about his past, SRILORIN merely chuckles amusedly and runs his fingers through his crimson hair. His past is mysterious, even to his comrades and when asked more specifically about the matter, he simply states that he was born in the elven city of Myth Drannor within the elven empire Comanthyr. Tall and thickly muscled, Srilorin would be undoubtedly considered handsome by many and though despite his somewhat vain attitude and confidence, he has a certain rebelliousness that outlines his otherwise good heart. And his eyes burn with quiet inquisition for his surroundings, hinting at the secrets and knowledge hidden just below their depths.

History:

Srilorin is what you would call a Celadrin or a celestial elf, or the counterpart to a fey'ri. Srilorin was born due to the union of an Firre Eladrin father from the plane of Arborea and a gold elven mother from a small gold elven village called Aluianti during the Midsummer Festival, a event held in honor of Hanali Celanil: the elven goddess of love and beauty. Even though they were in love, his father eventually had to return to Arborea. His mother departed from Aluianti and took up residence in Myth Drannor shortly before giving birth to Srilorin.

He was a child when he lost his mother due to a Red Wizard invasion and was taken away by the Red Wizards to become enslaved. After years of servitude, Srilorin was sold to the Cowled Wizards within Athkatla and was sent to enlist in the Academy of Arms in Amn to hone his skills as a fighter to become the main protecter of some of the most powerful and influential of the Cowled Wizards. As a result he is generally distrustful of Cowled Wizards as well as red Wizards of Thay, but he honestly tries not to cling to the standard prejudice and makes an honest effort to remember that everyone is different and that there are exceptions to every person.

Physical Description:

Srilorin is tall and thickly muscled with flaming red hair, deep golden eyes, and bronze skin. He is often clad in black or gray and wears a scowling or amused expression.

Personality:

Years of fighting and servitude as a slave have made Srilorin strong-willed, independent, and extremely sardonic. He has depended upon his own resources for his entire adolescence giving him a sense of pride and confidence, though not to the point of being egotistical. He is passionate and flirty in certain situations, but I promise I won't create another Coran. Underneath all of his attributes and rebelliousness however, he has a generally good heart and pure motivations, simply because he doesn't have a reason not to be.

If more details are needed let me know.

Oh and here are a couple of banters for your enjoyment.



Srilorin: Imoen? You have been eyeing me analytically for the past ten minutes. May I help you with something?

Imoen: (She grins broadly.) As a matter of fact, yes you can. If you don?t mind me saying though, you remind me a lot of Sune. Or at least you bear a very strong resemblance to her.

Srilorin: I?m a beautiful, long haired, lust driven female?

Imoen: I think I can safely assume that you and I just got the first seven words correct Srilorin.

Srilorin: (He chuckles amusedly.) Then I thank you my dear girl. If I can indeed assume that that was a compliment.

Imoen: (She grins again at him.) Anytime Srilorin. Anytime.




Srilorin: Ahhhh! Minsc!!

Minsc: What? Where is the sneaky villain that hides from Minsc and Boo?! Righteous butt-kicking shall be delivered from Minsc?s boots!! Go for the eyes Boo! GO FOR THE EYE--

Srilorin: Your *rat* has been shedding his foul hair about my pack and belongings *again*! Tell him to keep his probing whiskers out of my things, or I may have to settle for a new pair of rodent gloves.

Minsc: Well Boo? You heard the elf, no more sneaking around for you mister! Yes I know he is a bit feminine, but at least he is good with his sword.

Srilorin: You do realize that my hearing is rather extensive yes?

Minsc: What was that good Srilorin?

Srilorin: Nothing. Now let us move on while my senses remain intact.

Hello Mistress E! I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your Fade, my is she a sexy little thing.
But anyway I was wondering if by any chance you would happen to like to have any additonal language translations done for you aside from English? I could do Spanish, French, or German, or all if you like. Anything to help Fade get out to ToB any faster.

Keep up the fantastic work!!

Hello All!

I am in the process of writing a male NPC for BG2 and my brain suddenly decided to take a hike, and I am unable to remember some of Anomen's lovetalks, but if anyone can elaborate PM it to me. I would be eternally grateful!
