The big Portrait Background Removal Thread

tHoT portraits.

The only one that will cause slight issues is Perrin, since the glow from his staff is cropped on the top. But it would be a fiddle to fix, doesn't make an awful lot of difference, and the whole set is due for renovation at some point anyway...

EDIT: attached.

EDIT again: I seem to be very absent minded this evening. Updated with a fix for Aiglondur, and the rest of the portraits...

What occurred to Elenia's right side (her right)?

Kitty, those look good except for the Arthian portrait. It's too dark. What happened there?

[kitty]

thanks thespaceinvader! (and i look forward to see your "renovation" at some point)

and Shadow_Master - i don't understand what your problem is. the outline or the anatomy?

[thespaceinvader]

More fixes.

[JW]

Wow...all of these images are coming from mainline campaigns??

[JAP]

I was just thinking... isn't it better to use a good generic picture then a not so good unique picture?
For example Dacyn in Eastern invasion is a white mage right, so why not use the white mage portrait that Kitty did?

Edith: In other words, a character should only have a unique portrait if
A: a generic mainline portrait doesn't exist yet for that unit or
B: the unique portrait is as god looking as the generic one.

(just my opinion)

[thespaceinvader]

Yes. The tHoT portraits are well overdue for a revamp. They were when I finished them, tbh. But they got in mainly because they were all finished in a unified style. When I re-do them, I'll probably retain that style, but fix the anatomy etc.

EDIT: zip of finished tweaks to thot portraits.

[esr]

thespaceinvader, there's no conversion of maskkedwarf4. Would you do that, please?

[thespaceinvader]

Sure, just a mo.

He'll be facing towards out of the screen. That may or may not be a bad thing, considering the [censored]'s nature.

If you click on it, it displays by itself and looks fine. (Father Marcus too.) It's only too dark when displayed on the page. I don't get it. Is this new forum behavior?

Both? It is receiving extra lighting that I don't recall was there before...
