The Custom Portraits Thread

[Joculari]

 

 

I'm using this for my druid/witch doctor. Not quite the same artistic style as the normal portraits, tried to edit it but I suck at it so good enough.

Would anyone be able to scale this image for me in the appropriate (lg and sm) sizes? I'm starting a female human priest and I'm absolutely incompetent in imagery...

I am feeling really nice tonight so sure.  Here you go, nice and converted for you.

 

 

 

Here is an alternate small portrait if you want it a little more focused on the face.

Usual Karkarov helpful stuff.

 

I don't want to start any bromance or man crush things here, but that was just what of my younger friends would always call 'cool guy.' Anyhow, I'm so impressed with some of the portraits I've seen. I tend to try not to get too terribly excited or bothered by an aggregate of pixels, but that Halfwise portrait of the Nature Godlike would be downright sexy if I did. lol I just started a new game and I'm thinking of looking at the portraits in this thread and starting yet one more time after I choose the portrait I like best. Alas, won't be the 'sexy' nature godlike since I plan on probably playing an elf this time around, but we'll see. I'm leaving it up to the talent of the portrait modders.

While I don't know how to post images, I have been using many images made by this artist as portraits for my characters. There are some very good ones for ciphers and druids there, and fans of Brandon Sanderson may recognize some of the covers for his books there.

I really like 'The Ascendant Warrior' (ie Vin) portrait; fits the PoE art style well.

Lol, well I am the guy who wrote the original "how to make your own portraits" guide so I figured I would be nice and toss him a bone.  I also thought it was a nice portrait and I like to support any custom art that actually matches the existing game art style reasonably well.

Man I was totally not impressed until I got to the bottom.  It is all about the pokemon's man!  All seriousness her top right pic would have made a great grieving mother replacement pic.

Which one? The Shadows for Silence in The Forests of Hell cover?(Aka: middle aged woman with silver knife surrounded by ghosts)

 

If you mean that one, I agree.

I only got to play around with it briefly last night, but the expansion has brought back beards for Pale Elves.  Anyone got any portraits for bearded Pale Elves yet?  I been looking and not found anything suitable yet.  Well, aside from possibly this one:

 

[why]

Bastards! Now that I've seen this thread, I've got it in my head to restart my game (I only created the character and saved after the opening scene) using one of these portraits. I just have two ideas rattling around in my bone box:

 

Being a horribly sexist Neanderthal, I'm tempted to choose a pretty female pic because I know I'll be looking at the portrait the whole game

 

but

 

Being an old RPG player, I'm tempted to pic a ruggedly handsome male and pretending that it's me and that I'm ruggedly handsome.

 

Decisions decisions decisions!

[DreamWayfarer]

@Why: are you soloing? If not, use 4 premades, one handsome male hero and a female hireling to be his girlfriend and partner in crime.

Karkorov, you're awesome.

 

Mille merci!

I spent some time in photoshop mashing various elements from several of the default female portraits together to get a Pale Elf that looked like it could be the in-game model of her.

Not perfect, but I got tired of fidgeting with it. Figure I'd share it here anyways

blue hair ftw :D

I couldn't find any pale elf males I liked and of course I couldn't find any pale elf females with dark hair (since pale elves don't have dark hair). I was going to play a guy and take Dreamwayfarer's advice about a custom party, but since I only had one option for the portrait, I decided to go the female route. Thanks, Sylph, for the custom portrait. Looks sweet!

Awesome! Thanks for asking, yellowme. Thanks for the answer peko. I didn't even know such a page exited.

Well, aside from possibly this one:

 

The hand, it gives me the creeps.

Something I've found on DA.

 

 

[Aramintai]

Heh, playing this game again and I still can't put down nor this portrait, nor wood elf rogue protagonist:

 

Guess, I'm stuck with this canon just like I'm in Baldur's Gate with this half-elf guy:

sorry, Lysen. My comments got in your post. The dark hair comments are mine.

 

I like this one a lot. Typically go for dark hair, but this is cool.

 

P.S. Now that I'm home, I can edit this stuff a lot easier.

One thing that kind of bugged me is how the game stated that male Pale elves could grow facial hair, in contrast to male Wood elves which couldn't, but none of the Pale elf portraits sported any beards???

 

So I bring you some more amateur Photoshop hacking together of various other official portraits to try to get a bearded pale elf.

 

 

Not perfect but maybe someone can make use of it?

[peko]

Nice. Could anyone do a bit of recoloring of the face that's mostly covered by a hood? I figure that if it's a bit paler it would pass for a pale elf.

[Ineth]

@peko

 

There are multiple portraits like that in the game, at least one of which is already meant to be a Pale elf. Which one do you mean?

[drgonzo]

Here we go Roy Batty in Eora:

Very nice! There's definitely a shortage of cool male portraits imo.
