I still don't understand her comment, but I definately shouldn't have responded the way I did. My appologies.

Now let us move on and continue to admire Karse's wonderful creations.. [img]graemlins/angel.gif[/img]

Thanks Darkman [img]smile.gif[/img]

Wynne 06-04-2002 10:36 PM

I wasn't flaming. I was defending myself. There is a difference... but I'm not that easily upset; let's just forget it ever happened.

Tiresius 06-04-2002 10:44 PM

Someone else you could coinsider would be Conan O'Brian or Letterman. I think both of those would be good

8Ball 06-04-2002 11:45 PM

To get this post back on track....

I mentioned before on a different post just before you opened up your Portrait Portal to the public that I absolutely love your portrait!
I will once again repeat that statement by saying: I absolutely LOVE your portraits!!!

You are unbelievably talented, Karse and I think you should keep this up for as long as you possibly can. Congradulations! It's not everyday someone as talented as you comes around. Keep up the great work!

Oh, and BTW, I love your nickname, Verbal:P hehe

Awsome work!

Horatio 06-05-2002 05:12 AM

Oh, and Karse, thanx for the link. It's made my sig much smaller and within the rules. THANX!

Bristowe 06-05-2002 10:40 AM

This is kinda weird, the portraits dun show up in Shadow Keeper, or in the game menu when you select a portrait...did anyone notice this either? Am i doing something wrong? :(

Horatio 06-05-2002 10:45 AM

YOu should unzip the file into portraits, then in the game go to 'custom' on the portrait menu

Bristowe 06-05-2002 10:50 AM

Yeah [img]smile.gif[/img] That's exactly what i did, all my other custom ports were there, except K's ones, that's really weird...Arrgh!!!
Any other suggestion? Somebody? Thanks..??

Did you install a patch? Maybe (if you didn't install a patch) it's because the file named "Soze1S" should actually be named "Soze1L" and vice versa. My bad. Don't know if that'll make a difference.

Cecil 06-07-2002 10:47 PM

I say, sah, top hole! Wonderful art indeed, wot wot?

I do say m'mate, what'd an old flopear like meself have to do to p'suade ya to do one of yor fine images all custom like, pray sah?

To speak clearly ;) : I think your work is some of the finest I have ever laid eyes on - truly, you have an exceptional talent. One other person in this thread mentioned Callisto from Xena, and as such, I'm here to beg that request further!

I've gone out a'searchin for the best photos I could come up with of her (and I looked for them large, as that seemed to be what you prefered to work with for details sake - as well I looked for ones with high quality, and these seemed to fit the bill) and stumbled upon these beauts!

http://www.hudsonleickfan.com/files/...0/scorcher.jpg

http://www.hudsonleickfan.com/files/...stomounted.jpg

I certainly can't bend your arm to do such, but I would certainly be quite grateful if you might find the time to work up a little diddy to add to your fine gallery using one of these portraits of Callisto (they're all quite good, I wasn't sure what your -exact- needs would entail, so I decided to try and search you up plenty to peruse over). I'd be overjoyed to be able to use some of your fine art worked up with one of these pictures as my protaganist portrait on all of my BG endeavors. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I do say, mah utmost appreciation fer yor consideration, sah! Good form, wot?

If it helps, I noticed that your small portraits have the L at the end, and the large ones have the S at the end. This might be causing people some problems. Also, I noticed that your large portraits are 110 x 171 pixels - I think the game needs it to be 110 x 170. And the small portraits should be 38 x 61 pixels, not 39 x 61. Hope this helps.

Wynne 06-08-2002 09:43 PM

They are gorgeous portraits. Very impressive, very smooth. They look like they could easily belong in the game originally.

And I think Callisto belongs in there somewhere. :D

Zuvio 06-09-2002 08:26 AM

And I just wanted to say that I think this is a lovely thread. My personal sundaynoon soap!! We ALL at the IW forum rule!!!

And karse, that principal Snyder fellow from Buffy would make an excellent ORC! It's just I dont keep pictures of males on my pc .... Except for friends offcourse, understand that.

And for the rest of you. A whole lot of thanks.

I have been looking into that whole Callisto thing. I didn't know her beforehand, but she has certainly come to my attention now. I'm not much of a Xena fan (I like wild australian women, but not on the television...sorry...that was low), but I'll put that Callisto girl in a frame, as soon as possible.

Cecil 06-09-2002 02:22 PM

Top hole, sah, top hole!

Karse Soze 06-10-2002 07:55 AM

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to tell you all, that I have added a new "Xena-feature" to the Portrait Portal. Though I'm not satisfied with the results, I have temporarily uploaded one of Callisto and one of Xena. They might not be there for long, seeing that I intend to replace them when I've given it some thought. Anyways...your comments are more than welcome. Maybe they will give me the clue I need [img]smile.gif[/img]

Woohoo! Thank you Mr. Soze!

I think your Xena collection is off to a great start, they look awesome! I've already snagged the Callisto you have up currently - and if you truly aren't happy with it and redo it, then that just means I have even another(!!!) portrait to use of Callisto! :D :D :D

Honestly though, I think the portraits are great Karse. What makes you unsatisfied with them?

Good gracious, I just went and looked again. Marvelous, just marvelous. Honestly, I'm not going to try to talk you out of doing more of them if you aren't happy with the work ~ because then we're privaleged with even more of your awesome portraits! ;) But I certainly wouldn't remove those if I were you. They're just too good to take down. If you do more of Callisto and Xena (and I hope you do!), please put them ALL up! :D

Honestly - you should be doing this for a game company. I don't know anything about that business, or how one goes about getting in, but if I had your skill I'd be sending work to everybody I could come up with an address for. Unbelievable Karse. And again, a big thank you. [img]smile.gif[/img] I look forward to seeing more of your amazing art.

</font>[/QUOTE]Hi Cecil,
I can't exactly put my finger on what's wrong with the portraits, but something definately is. Anyways, thanks for the kind words my friend. I will consider keeping the ones I've already made, and just add more along the way.

By the way. Just made my first drow portrait [img]smile.gif[/img]

You're doing well, Karse - and getting a lot of publicity for your work. Good on you! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

And you're so polite and humble about it as well. [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font color="silver">This place is awesome! I got here from Horatio's sig a little while ago. When I get around to it I'll have to download a few.

I love the new additions! (Or at least new since I last looked....)

Keep up the work!! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] </font>

Hecate 06-10-2002 01:26 PM

Loved the new Xena ones. Am eagerly awaiting Gabrielle and hoping you're doing early, innocent Gabrielle. Would love to use that as a replacement for the default one we've got for Aerie.

Helspanth 06-10-2002 05:16 PM

Congratulations again Karse!
Your site has just became an addition to "my favortes".The Drow portrait is good as well!
I am looking forward to your next addition!

Shwen 06-12-2002 03:53 AM

I can't find a good half-orc anywhere...the arnie one is good. all are good but the arnie one is the best.

Melusine 06-12-2002 10:10 AM

Very very impressive, Karse! Original too. Really great work.
Sent you a mail, BTW [img]smile.gif[/img]

That's already my intention for the Gabby portrait [img]smile.gif[/img]

Karse Soze 06-12-2002 12:30 PM

Thanks all for the kind words [img]smile.gif[/img]

My next addition will probably be either; a male sorcerer/mage, a male half orc (The Rock would fit nicely) or a female drow.

BTW nice name Melusine...send a mail back [img]smile.gif[/img]

Sir Exxon 06-12-2002 03:47 PM

<font color="gold">Oh, you know who would be a great mage/sorcerer? Sir Ian McKellen aka Gandalf! [img]smile.gif[/img] Or maybe that it is a bit unoriginal?

EDIT: I reckon Viggo Mortensen aka Aragorn would make a good Ranger... [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>

SixOfSpades 06-12-2002 10:47 PM

What the existing BG portraits lack is a Female Half-Orc. The old picture for Shar-Teel would make a pretty good Female Dwarf, but there's no female Half-Orc. So....Roseanne Barr?

John Malkovich, Calista Flockeart (an Elf, of course)..... and Robin Williams is such an incredibly HAIRY man he could be 3 or 4 Half-Orcs all by himself.

drewal 06-12-2002 10:59 PM

Outstanding art Karse.

I would reccoment using Danny Devito for a dwarf or halfing pic.

Arnie's cigar made me think of Pres. Clinton. He'd make a good Jester pic.

Sir Exxon 06-13-2002 11:28 AM

<font color="gold">Just wanna say that the Keanu Reaves-drow is absolutely marvelous. [img]smile.gif[/img] Gotta be the best drow-portrait I've ever seen:)</font>

Suzaku 06-13-2002 11:34 AM

Try adding some *celshading* no, more handdrawn style comic dudes in there? (or can you draw?)
