What, do 'they all look alike' to you? *congenial snort* That wasn't Halle Berry. If I were Halle Berry, I'd be horribly insulted.

I'm insulted that because I made a simple mistake you assume that I'm some sort of racist. Bugger off.

Sadly no. All the files on my page are zip-compressed :/ So, it's no use linking to anything.

Originally posted by The.Relic: Hi KS! As I stated before, very, VERY nice work. I saw your comment on the other thread, something to the effect of "this is the last time". Not to worry, if the mods thought you were plugging your site too much they'd let you know [img]smile.gif[/img] Interesting that the point came up with the ladies and scars. I also thought about some people being a bit turned off by them which made me think about tatooing as another possibility. Something like the Minsc portrait, or Chikote (not sure of the spelling) in ST Voyager. Of course I have no idea if that is feasable with the tools you use or if it is practicable at all. Just a thought and irregardless, you are doing great work!

I'm not familier with the Chikote in ST Voyager. But if their markings are anything like Minsch, it's certainly dooable. Whether I'm gonna do it...well, let's just say I haven't decided yet. I don't like my girls too perfect [img]smile.gif[/img]

Originally posted by Darkman: WOW. I'm impressed. Those are the best custom made portraits I've seen since... well ever! Not sure which one is my favorite, they're all badass. Gotta love the Halle Berry one though She was the one good thing about the Dungeons and Dragons movie! So how long does it take you to make one of these portraits, including time searching for the right picture down to making the final touches? Somebody should hire you [img]smile.gif[/img] Maybe we could all pitch in some money and you could make custom ports for us whenever we wanted BTW it sure would be cool if someone made a portrait of Hudson Leick (Callisto)... or even Milla Jovovich or Sharon Stone... or maybe a portrait of Jet Li as Yoshimo...

How long does it take? Well, when I have the pictures I need, it takes a little over an hour to make a portrait [of course depending on how much I alter the armour and such. For example Halle Berry only took about half an hour, but her armour is an exact copy of Mazzy]. The problem lies in finding the celebs. Especially Male celebs. I thought about doing one with Danny Devito as a Dwarf or Halfling. But I just couldn't find a picture that was good enough :/ Anyways, will consider doing a Milla and Sharon portrait. But I have no idea who Callisto is???

I don't really mind if Karse plugs his site...it's a good site, and BG2 related, so as long as we keep it to this thread I have no problem with it. [img]smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]Thanks Memnoch, I'll keep it to this post like you request. I have put an e-mail link on my page, so people can contact that way. But as long as people write here, I feel it's necessary to aswer their questions and requests. So, thanks for understanding [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hi, just testing this, seeing if what you said is true. If you don't want me to do this as my regular sig, PLEASE say, I don't want to make any enemies here.

Okay, didn't think of that, when I aswered your question [img]smile.gif[/img] Very clever. No, it's okay. Just mention me if people ask where you got it LOL [img]smile.gif[/img]

But I have no idea who Callisto is???

She was Xena's arch enemy in the campy TV series Xena: Warrior Princess.

Well, now I feel inadequate. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Tell you what, you keep doing quality and I'll keep doing quantity.

I'd like to request a portrait of Angela Bassett. Here's a pic of her from Strange Days:

The site this pic came from also has pics of Ralph Fiennes.

I know from my own experiences how hard it is to find good quality pics on the web. Vidcaps just don't cut it. (If anyone knows of a good source of quality pics of Hercules or Conan, let me know.)
