A blonde elf

[Domi]

If anyone have seen a public domain portrait for a blonde male elf, please, let me know. I need it for a small portrait for a njNPC. Thank you in advance!

I haven't seen one, but if it comes to it, I could make one for you? I've been making portraits for Sol Ek Sa and for my own fun, too.

[Domi]

Oh, sure, it would be great if you have the time; he is just a teo-dialogues scenery character in the Dock's District, and all I need is a small portrait.

[Ilmatar]

Sure! So blonde male elf. Any other requirements? It would help if I'd know what he is, a mage, a warrior, a noble, a peasant..?

[Domi]

Here is the character description (By Stephen King (not *that* Stephen King)) with some additions by me:

 

Neiros Gellantara, the Sailmaker.

 

"Neiros Gellantara spends his days sitting on his porch, mending sails and watching the world go by. He never tires of the steady stream of new people in town, willing to trade a tale or greet a newcomer warmly. He is a master of his craft and the rumor has it that he used to be a silversmith, and a woodcarver before that. But all that the oldest salt dog can say for sure is that Gellantara had always had a small shop of some sort in the Dock's District. He is blonde-haired, with green eyes and speaks slowly as if he weighs every word before he speaks."

 

I don't insist on green eyes - grey, blue, yellow - any light colored eyes are fine

[Ilmatar]

Okay! Here's what I came up with.

 

An extra large version for details etc

 

Large bmp portrait

Medium bmp portrait

Small bmp portrait

 

So what do you think? Is he too young/old, pretty/ugly, or does it just suck? Tell me what do you think, and if there's something you'd like different, I'll try to fix it.

[Domi]

Oh, it is very nice, a pity it will just be a small portrait Basically, the only thing I would like to be changed for the small picture is the eye-brow line to give it about 30 degree angle. I am attaching this picture from the manual for a reference, it is really great for that, because I know that I tried for ages the slant and never managed. I would also re-cut the small portrait to be more of a face.

 

If you'd like to have it as a player character portrait, you might want to have more detail on his costume; embroidery, beadwork etc.

 

Is it Mark Hammil?

[Ilmatar]

Gah. It's more difficult than you'd think. I couldn't change it much without making him look like a mutant.

 

Large

Medium

Small

 

But yeah. Almost no change at all. I'm thinking of making another, all new portrait and trying to make him look more like an elf. You see, when I've been drawing elves, I haven't made their features really that different from humans. Oh well.

 

I left his clothing very simply because this was supposed to be just one small character, I take it? But if I get the urge sometime, I could work on his clothing more.

[Domi]

Yes, I know what you mean; the entire head structure is different from a human's. Basically, I don't think it will matter for a small, so unless you are having fun with it, please, don't worry about it.

[Ilmatar]

Heh, well, lets say that if I get the urge to make a whole new portrait, then I'll post it here. But till then.. there's your damn elf.

[Domi]

Yay, now I just have to have that encounter Thank you!

[Domi]

Here he is in an alpha-run

[Kulyok]

I am not sure if you want the word "Spellhold" here: until Teos, Aran or Bodhi reveal it to PC, there is no way they will know, I think.

Probably not. And 'sales' in the 1st line should be 'sails', I believe.

[Domi]

Yep, true, though I thought that Bayle said that she was sent there, but apparently not Thanks.
