Who can make portraits?

Post by Klorox »

I'm looking for somebody to do me a huge favor, and create the 4 main South Park characters into portraits (Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny).

I'd like to recreate the characters from the episode "Make Love, Not Warcraft" into BGII characters.

I figure Stan can be a Paladin, Kyle a Sorceress, Cartman a Dwarf Fighter/Cleric, and Kenny into a Fighter dualled into a Thief right away (with ***** in Bow). I'd like to use their pics from the cartoon as avatars though, not the Warcraft characters.

Also (and I know this is a stretch), but if there are soundsets out there somewhere for these characters that would be a huge bonus!

Have you tried the portraits section under mods in the Pocket Plane Group? They list a number of portrait sites, including a few portrait modders that are still active. Don't get me wrong; I hope you do get an answer, here. But you could actually post on a portrait modder's forum, or send them email directly, making your request. More likely to reach the person you seek to convince.

Good luck, regardless.

Quengalad has been known to do portraits. She very kindly did one for me. Do a search on "portraits" on threads started by her.

I might be able to knock them up - for PCs I have been doing my own portraits for a while - I may add them as a collection on my photo website and then you'd be able to raid your internet cache for them.

I'm not sure when I'll get the time.

where would I find the original artwork?

I ususlly use photos - I photograph fantasy artwork in galleries and the Pre-Raphaelites or Renaissance painters often have good characters that can be adapted in Paint Shop Pro.

the computer art magazine ?imagine? fantasy fx (I think) gives pictures on cover disks - including back issue pictures. there was a good cover of a priestess, which I have used for my present level 32 female thief.

I just threw this one together using Faststone, not all that good IMO, but finding still images was a challenge.

If it's adequate, let me know and I'll do the others. There are two images, sized for BG, simply extract to your portrait folder.
