Portraits for The Dark Hordes (by tsunami_)

[Roge_Tebnelok]

I have given him gold armour for now. I will later adjust the colour.

Once I saw Nati in golden armor I immidiately came up with idea why on Gwiti it's just bone, so perhaps there's no need in changing the color. I think only shape needs to be similar. Will there be Nati with the staff portrait?
Overall, looks very nice.

Will there be Nati with the staff portrait?

Afterwards I may make a Nati version of the lich portraits (just an edit), so they will have the same staff. For level 2 I will draw just one portrait.
Actually it was Nati's staff which I gave to Gwiti.

What do you mean?

There's a chance that Gwiti

Spoiler:

will lose that staff by the time of his lichification, and will have to make a new one with hal-f/-ves of Morgorath's skull, which he keeps, so it's not the same staff in part 2 as in part 1.

And, I guess unless there's alternative path with Nati as a protagonist, how will he keep it up to his transformation if he's going to die at the beginning of the campaign when he's not a lich yet?

So nati-deathmaster is actually for lvl1, correct?

Perhaps I misread your plan to adjust the color as gold will become bone in final version, but then I reread that gold is added for differentiation, so there's no need to worry about it now. There'll be in-campaign explaination for why material changed on Gwiti.

I kept Nati without the staff because KameRamen said O.K. to that sketch mainly. Otherwise I would draw same or very similar staff (this makes life easier for me).

I have not read the rest of the story (or played other versions of the Dark Hordes) but I think Nati will come back as a lich or ghost. Or maybe not. In any case I will not start the lich portraits yet.

Here are the completed portraits! In one folder are the 400x400 images, in another are the original resolution. This is for future use, in case they need to be reduced to a different size, for example.

This was the first time I tried shading like this on a computer. It really took a lot of time. But it was also more similar than I expected to shading with pencils. I am happy that the skill transfers! I like gwiti-deathmaster the best.

As for the rest of the portraits (demilich, dread lich, Tanar, staff edits for Gwiti), I will start them once the campaign is completed and I have played all the scenarios. @KameRamen, in the meantime, I suggest that you increase the size of the other portraits so that they are not midgets during dialogue.

I should have replied to you sooner, but it has been over a week. Now that I have more time, I am writing this in a hurry.

These portraits are truly amazing! Thank you for all your work. I especially love the portrait for Nati. Of course, the others are great too.

I will try to add some documentation regarding licensing. I will release a version with the portraits included as soon as possible first.

All right. I will do my best to complete the campaign.

Finally, I would like to thank you again and in addition apologize for my slow reply. It was unfortunate that the timing coincided with my real life problems.

PS: I would appreciate a brief reply when you have time. Best regards.

Do you still think you will release version 1.0.0 at the end of the month, or will it take longer now? (It's not a problem. And if you don't know when, that is fine as well.)
Of course looking after your real life is much more important. You are feeling better I hope .

Perhaps a little later, August or September. If it were purely a matter of making all the scenarios playable, I would almost certainly be able to do it by the end of the month, but there is other work that needs to be done to improve the overall quality.

I was more optimistic before, but I think it will be a little late.

Thank you. Fortunately, my daily life has been relatively calm for the past few days.
