Andyr Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I'm looking for a BG2 style portrait of a grey/white-haired old lady. Something that fits the game, or a photo that could be adapted... I've not had much search trawling the portrait sites - if anyone has one for whatever reason, could they let me know? The vague look would be something like an aged Nalia - with greyed hair and no drug rings. She should be in light or no armour. If someone can make a decent composite of BG2 pictures which doesn't look too much like the existing NPCs, that'd also be a possibility. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Thanks for the try. I saw that one, but she looks like a gypsy. If you have played KotOR II, I am looking for something closer to Kreia, though less sinister-seeming. Elderly but wise, and not looking too weak as that picture. For a Cleric in a plain, unassuming robe (probably brown or grey). I might attempt a simple edit of Nalia and post for a better idea of what I mean. In case anyone's curious, this is for something I'm fiddling with in my spare time as more of an indulgence than a serious project. - Andy (at work) Link to comment
Domi Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Heh, here is the oldest looking portraits I found; not much in this department: Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 The middle one is closest to what I am after, though it'd need clothing, ageing and those dots removed from her head. Also the hair obscures the background, which is not ideal. Thanks, though. Heh, I guess OAPs don't often feature as powerful heroes in CRPGs. Andy Link to comment

Guest Guest Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Cheers. That's the overall effect, though, a few things that would need to be different: - Plainer, duller clothes. Actually Nalia's armour would work pretty well if recoloured. - Lose the stuff in her hair - If the best we can do is a composite involving Nalia, ideally it would look as little like her as possible (e.g. by changing background, removing band from her face, purple from her eyes, flipping the image left/right. Maybe swapping the hair for someone else's would work, actually). I don't know if it is possible to make Nalia's portrait look like it is not Nalia, though, to the extent it would not look odd to have both Nalia and the Older Woman in the party at once.

Rabain Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 There is a portrait HERE that I used for an edit of drow Matron Mother. The original could be used for a human. I could do that for you later if you are interested. Link to comment

You might want to ask Bons if she could make a portrait for you based on a photo, as she does very good work (See: Jelina). Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Rabain: Yes, that works quite well. Who was the original author of the portrait? I might get back to you on that. Grim: I concur re: Nalia. And yes, good plan with Bons... I shall have to see if she is about later. Though I'd need to find a photo of an old lady, then. We shall see. Link to comment
Rabain Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I can't remember offhand who the artist is, I can find out once i get home from work though...it was from renerosity.com anyway. You should put "old lady" in a google image search...scary results! Link to comment
BevH Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Have you tried looking in NWN Vault? Link to comment
Rabain Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I have made this edit using the old lady I had for the drow portrait... Though if you want to choose any granny photo I could probably put it into Nalia's armour for you... The original is HERE with the artists name on it. Link to comment
