Portraits V

[Carazide]

Here is my watcher.

I tried following the GIMP tuturial, but there is a new version of GIMP now, and it's nothing like in the guide.
Ended up using a mix of GIMP, lunapic and ms paint.

Don't know who original artist is - found on pinterest. (Huge creds to artist - beautiful artwork, whoever you are!)

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to share my pale elf Watcher. I made the watercolors using the GIMP tutorial.

[Testlum]

Unfortunately don't have the source for the original art.

A version of "male_aumaua_c" without a beard, from a reddit thread. Removing the beard from the portrait kind of makes him look like the Nameless One from Planescape Torment now that I look at it.

Many thanks!

EDIT:

BtW, has someone already done the Watercolor treatment for this handsome dude? Char seems popular enough to be the case, but looking through the forum with all the dead links is a real drag.

First portrait is by Anna Helme
 

A facebook post credits the second image to Gerry Arthur. The style looks consistent with theirs, but can't find it in their portfolio.

I am one who is among the living, I just usually wait for a few request to pile up and until I've found the original source.

Original is Mathias Shaw portrait by Julie "Shuploc" Damgaard

A quick question to our portrait wizards here in the forum: Is there a certain trick to keep the aspect ratio when you downsize a portrait, so it doesn't look stubby?

[Boeroer]

That depends on what software you are using to downsize. But most of times, when downsizing a picture, there's some option to keep the ratio - like a lock symbol for example or a chain link or whatever.

Here's what it looks like in my Gimp (sorry, UI is German):

@Boeroer

 

Thanks for the answer, but in the meantime, I found this website and it works perfect.

[Boeroer]

Oh, convenient!  Great job @ whoever build that website.

Hello @Kvellen

Would you be so kind and help me once more? I would like this portrait of Thaos to be adjusted so it can be used in "Deadfire" (with right size, watercolor version included and etc.).

Also, could you make him a tad younger? Maybe black beard instead of white/gray? Similar to the image below?

 

Thank you in advance and have a great day.

Hello,

Could someone please watercolor this portrait, please?

This portrait is based on an official PoE1 portrait that has already been edited by lokarts.

Thank you in advance!

[Kvellen]

Smooth Durance.

Thank you so much!

If you have time, can you make this version too, please?

 

[Yhekal]

Hi @Kvellen would you be up for two more challenges?

 

1. Aloth portrait from PoE 1 into Deadfire - would you be able to make it so it's a bit more in style of PoE 2? Don't know really what should be done to achieve this - any ideas? Changing background??  For sure resizeing and watercolor version.

Can you also make a version that is unchanged and just resized and with watercolor?

 

2. Would you be able to put spiked armor on the barbarian character? (swap bald guy with barbarian)

 

Thanks!  

 

[Kvellen]

Tried my hand at making some variants of vanilla portraits.

1. I bumped up the colors a bit and changed the background to be more like the purple seen in his Deadfire portrait. Very subtle changes but brings it closer to how Deadfire portraits looks imo.

    

2. Think I have hit my limit as far working around this portrait.

   

[Yhekal]

Looks great @Kvellen !!! 

Thank you SO much!

Amazing! 

The first image will be perfect for the Deadfire version of my character.

Hi, @Kvellen I hope you don't mind I have also tagged you here to ask for help making these portraits watercolour for deadfire. No worries if you can't. Anyone else is also welcome to assist me haha. I have tried to do it myself but have not succeeded. 

Thanks ahead of time!

Source seems to be by Roke2810 from one of the old portrait threads on this forum, can't find any watercolors in the thread:

 

and the coastal version from that post too:

@Kvellen Thank you so much for the new and variations portraits!

If you have the inclination and the time, would it be possible for Aloth's skin in your Aloth portrait to look more like the skin color in his Deadfire official portrait, please? 

In his Deadfire portrait his skin looks more yellow than white/pink, even if your version of his PoE1 portrait already looks more like it than the official one.

 

[Pidesco]

This is an old portrait I found today lying around. It's an actual early revision of an Obsidian Deadfire portrait, I think Kaz or Lindsay may have worked on it.

I thought someone might be interested in it as it is a Pale elf option.

Also, there's no sepia version of the portrait.

[Kvellen]

Just noticed I seem to be missing "male_human_e" watercolor from my Deadfire portrait folder. Anyone happen to have them to hand?

Watercolors of everyone's favourite blond fighter companion from PoE1. Calisca!

I've really enjoyed making them! It's a good excuse to noodle around with some filters and settings in Photopea that I never used before. Though I'm a bit frustrated to realise that pale elves, by default, can't have black hair... Which is a pain, since I was pretty happy with how that looked after floundering to change that portrait's hair color to white.

As for the Aloth PoE1 portrait, your right he does look a little sunburnt in hindsight! I tried to match his face to his ears and hand in the vanilla PoE1 portrait. Which are likely that way due to the light passing through his skin. Anyway it's a simple enough to change that sunburn into a subtle tan!

   

I didn't make any changes to the watercolors version from my previous post, but figured I'd including them in this post as well to save people having to scroll.

Ooh that is a cool one! Through together an edit of the original portrait's watercolor to match.

Hey everyone! Is there anyone here who would be able to help me (or tell me how can I do it myself) recolor this image to make it island aumaua? Naturally it depicts coastal aumaua, and I am desperatelly trying to get an island amuaua picture (which of course means skin colour closer to orange/light brown). I tried various online editors, but failed miserably
