Re: Character Portraits
I was one of the folks that had answered to Sami's call back then. I submitted several pictures and voila! ended up as a playable character. I'm the guy in the green linen shirt.  I had an idea about making several Njerpez pictures - Sami requested eastern european/russian-looking guys, so I considered I could make several pictures of the people that satisfied Sami's request, especially after I put my red linen shirt on them! See attached one such photo. I never came back to Sami with these potential Njerp pictures, but it may be of some interest to you.

Re: [WIP] RPG-ish(?) Character Portraits
It's a bit subtle in my opinion, but the painted version is more appealing to the eye, in my opinion. Feels digitized and enhanced. However I think you need to make a bigger change in the art style some how, depending on what you're trying to accomplish. What you have going now feels like an enhancement mod, I think people who want the less realistic looking portraits will prefer this over the original, but still desire something a little more exaggerated in some form. Just from what I've read anyways. I think it looks great personally. 2-3 hours feels long, you may want to revise your process unless you feel you won't burn yourself out, depending on how many portraits you'd like to do. As for the background, I'd do it the same style but less detailed / worked, or make some cool patterns or symbols. Nordic / finish based stuff would be a plus for immersion of course. Maybe I'll take this and prototype one for my own enjoyment... or disappointment xD. Keep up the good work! February 27, 2020, 02:34:06 PM |

Re: [WIP] RPG-ish(?) Character Portraits
The original portraits in the game are really cool; I like to see people in trditional folk costume. But, for me, they are out of place, because of the pixelart-style of the game, so I really like the idea of these RPG-ish portraits. Unforunately, they still looks like (as Night mentioned, too) a real photo but super-enhanced. As for the backgroud, I like the idea of having somekind of a Nordic / finish patterns or symbols. I donwloaded your photo and loaded it into GIMP and played with it a little. I managed to make it look more like a photoreaistic painting, istead of a enhanced photo. If you like the result, just tell me, I can give you the steps what and how I done, or even I can do it if you like it. (I have to mention that I hade to remove the entire background first, so the changes in the colors aren't affected by the colors of the background, this took the most time. After that I just pasted it back ontop of the original.) Edit: I forgot to mention that I ain't really good at drawing, especially with mouse, a.k.a I miserably fail if I try to draw anything with a mouse. I have only a bit of experience with some retouching photos, thanks to that, that our family have a pritty huge vintage photo collection, we can date back our and our anchstors photo collection, as far as photografy itself goes. Anyway, your work is awsome MikMogus, I hope you come out with a mod or something, so I can play the game with (IMO) "cooler" graphics: I'm a big fan of oldschool RPG games, and I totally miss those cool hand-drawn portraits from modern RPGs. I just played with the colors and scripts and filters (collected from the interweb) to get the result. Without your hard work I never be able to make this graphic. Thanks! PS to all: Thanks for this cool game, I following it for severaly years now. From time to time I always come back to play with it. Greetings from Hungary. March 23, 2020, 03:42:07 PM |

Re: [WIP] RPG-ish(?) Character Portraits
Here is one of the pictures from the game that I changed. This picture is my favourite from the game. The death scene. Not just that, because this is the one that I saw the most.   Somehow, simply I lust love this. When I look at it, I feel calm, peace. They are positive feelings that almost make me happy. But, wait a minute! This is the picture that we see, when our character dies, when we loose the game. Aren't we supposed to feel that we lost something, tha somthing ended? Aren't we supposed to feel a bit sad? So I played with the picture. Now with it's fainted-old looking, it gives the impressin of somthing that it is old, that it is no more. A thing from the past that is lost, that doesn't exists anymore. Now, with it's weird coloring, it gives me the vibes of: this is a scene from an un-real world! I think fits more the name "death scene": March 28, 2020, 02:29:56 PM |
