Best custom portraits !

Masklinn · 01-30-2003, 10:58 AM

My biggest concern when using custom portraits is that they usually never fit with the particular style of already existant ones...

...and then i found this site...

The portraits here are very well made, and have the same spirit than the original ones. Best of all, they are made of celebrities !

Very very well made.

Gotta love the portrait portal. Not just because there fun but because they fit in with the game so well.

I’m currently using Ben stiller and have put Keanu Reeves in for the Solafien portrait.

Now if they would only make something I could use instead of that horrible Kelsey portrait.

Erm, this is pretty old news for most of these forums.

Mostly because the guy that does the page (Karse Soze) posts here each time he updates.

And yes, he is quite good at what he does, but I never really cared that much for celebrity portraits.

BTW, here is an extremely cool portraits site with a cool name: Faces of Bhaal. I think it is rather "gothy". Unfortunately it is on Angelfire and might be prone to "account temporarily suspended":

Old for you, new for me [img]smile.gif[/img]
Anyway I like them very much, not because they re celebrities (thaz just a little plus) but because they indeed fit so well.

Sorry to bring old news though [img]smile.gif[/img]

what are some of the best sights to find really good, high quality portraits?
Ive looked around a little, but have never really found a good source.

Hi Indemaijinj,

If you don't like celebportraits, all you have to do is say the word, and I'll make a couple (or more) ports with noncelebs...just for you (and of course everyone else who wants to use them) [img]smile.gif[/img]

Maybe you have an idea there! The only reason I made ports of celebs to begin with is because I thought it would be funny to most people, with the recognizability and all. But there's actually quite a lot of high quality non-celeb photos out there...so what do you say?

Masklinn · 01-31-2003, 04:04 AM

If they fit as perfectly as the ones already made then I'd say....go for it

Well that's the whole point of it. So hopefully they will [img]smile.gif[/img]

I don't like the celeb portraits because I don't like most celebs. Okay, I like the hot chicks but I wouldn't want them suiting up for battle and getting their pretty faces messed up. As far as the guys go if they were enemy portraits I would love to tear em to shreds. Die Clooney! I'll go matrix on your a$$ Keanu!
