The Custom Portraits Thread
ashtonw replied to Namutree's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
It's a fight she won't win. As I mentioned in an earlier post, it would be better if the artist just accept it and let everyone enjoy her work for whatever purpose they deem most satisfactory. In this day and age, the audience wins, the end. Every alternate portrait in this thread that is sourced from an unnamed artist is proof of that. The creative commons is common to all regardless of the wishes of content creators, and there is no taking it back the moment the pixels hit the network. do you think if you're a big enough **** to her she'll give in and "set her work free" accordi -

Does race and gender matter?

Happy, no, but I don't like them immensely depressing, which is the only ending I can see for a woman in the Legion, Longknife's optimism notwithstanding. Plus playing a woman who's walking past legionaries at the Fort who are coming out with creepy comments about how attractive some of the new slaves are... her ignoring that and continuing to support the Legion just feels borderline sociopathic. If you all feel differently, that's fine; this is just some feedback from one female fan who informally polled a few of her friends and found the same - that we just weren't able to really get in -

I love your portraits! Very inspirational. The first is my favorite. I don't know if you want any suggestions but her face is so carefully rendered, other parts like her hair seem a little unfinished in comparison. Haha, I think this thread would justifiably make anyone terrified to share their own work. But here's my first one (I'm jealous you have three done... I need to get my butt in gear!) She looks so boring compared to yours though, but I'm currently in the process of turning her into a nature godlike.- 164 replies

Jesus, I didn't even realize how old this was. Shame on you, Prime. >_>

You suggest the idea that Asians are effeminate or African Americans have "rough skin" might be racist? Your powers of perception are incredible.

None of the features were set in stone during the kick starter. If you really believe obsidian deliberately lied to you to steal your money, maybe its time to ask for a refund.

I think Obsidian has already come to terms with the fact that everyone is nostalgic for different features of the IE games and not everyone will be 100% satisfied. As for pickpocketing, how many people ever did that outside of rare instances (like snagging that cloak off the guy in the drug den in BG1)? Is it a core mechanic for bards too?

I wonder if they're hiring.

Putting the languages you named together makes sense, since they are all found together in a relatively small area and have certain common characteristics. My problem with throwing languages together which aren't related at all, only makes sense when the games' world is extremely large. In a sense, you portray an "international" community if you mix latin, english, norse, and all kinds of other ancient languages such as mayan tongue with "itxl" affixes. In Baldurs Gate, for example, you had a feeling for how much time it takes to travel by foot from one city to the other. In an environment lik
