Modding / Re: [WIP] RPG-ish(?) Character Portraits

If I think about pictures, portraits from a game, I really like to see when all the different pictures has something similarity in them: they are from the same game, the game must have it's own style, and to me it also means; they use the same color tone.

I kinda want to make them stand out from each other color-wise. Maybe I won't make them as saturated as the previous one I posted, but I will color each portrait a little differently on an individual basis, sticking to seasonal tones. For variety, but also for fun. When I use more realistic or uniform colors, I just get a bit bored with them. I could color them based on region (north, west, ect.) but I really prefer doing them individually. Also I don't know how to region-ize the female portraits.

Can I ask you, do you also changing the other pictures, or you just change the portraits?

I'm just going to do portraits for now, I think.

No promises, but maybe when I have some time I could see if I can write up some steps for what I do when making the portraits, so you might have an easier time using your scripts and stuff. And your death scene looks much more moody, I like it.

HUNterHUN, that looks much better! I really appreciate your fresh eyes taking a go at it. It made me happy to see that, thank you. I think I will use your version as a reference to bring the few I've worked on a bit closer to that style, if that's OK with you.

I've made some progress on a couple portraits since the original post, but I'm not going to share anything new just yet. They aren't quite ready. I also have a nicer background that looks good in-game, though I want to do something more overtly "Finnish" to it eventually, as you folks suggested.

Thank you Night for your feedback, what you wrote is very helpful. I'll see what I can do to improve the style. I know I can drastically knock the time down once I'm less focused on experimenting and get it down to a series of steps.

And hey, much luck with your prototyping

Modding / [WIP] RPG-ish(?) Character Portraits

Hi, this is my first post on these forums. I've been experimenting with digitally painting over a couple of the default character portraits and wanted to share one. I'm open to thoughts and criticisms on how to better make it fit the game. I'm mainly unsure of what I'm doing with the backgrounds. This one has taken about 2-3 hours. I'd love to have a go at all of them eventually but we will see.
