Self- and professionally made character pics
Hey guys.
I've been wanting a cool-looking portrait of S'rrt for a while but being poor at creating art I paid my cousin, who is a concept artist, to make a portrait of him instead (he takes commissions, PM me if you're interested). You can see my altered composition below with greener/more textured scales and a different background from the original.
Who else has professionally made portraits for their characters? I know some of you are talented artists yourselves so let's see those original character pics that you've put a lot of effort (and/or money if you didn't make it yourself) into!
To clarify, when I say original, I mean made-from-scratch, not a mishmash of art assets that have been haphazardly put together

I've seen two of those before; they look really good. I can see who's been credited but do you know how those were made? They all look like hand drawings.
Also did you get them for free...?

I had a paid commission made for the whole House of the Sea Serpent.
Artist is Graey Erb, who does great lizards.
The final results:
Edit:
Almost forgot this one. My little brother made it for me waay back in the pre VBU-times.
I still have it pinned on my wall.

Re: Self- and professionally made character pics
I'd like to get one for Caswir. I tried myself, i didnt think it was that good, anyways here it is...
Re: Self- and professionally made character pics
Yours is perfect Caswir, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Since you do want a new one though, have you spoken to anyone who draws as a hobby or professionally?
Q-Wert, that's a cool idea, having someone make art for an IG guild! I was wondering if that pic was originally made when I saw it in the House's thread. The lizards do look REALLY good!
Wow Djironnyma, you've got lots of art contacts then

Another beauty.
Come on you hidden (non-MS Paint) artists who are also players, I know you're out there..

Tarias , made by Elessar from the Avatarschmiede
And then there are a few that I did myself, but it was already a couple of years ago. ^^
Lia alias Liasany = ,
Aerandir = An elf from Varshikar at that time
Varei =A Serinjah who lived on the Nordmark (when this still stood xD)

Re: Self- and professionally made character pics
Hehe Lia, I like the Tarias-one but the dragon is tiny Maybe it's a baby dragon.
Did you make those 3D renders yourself?
Edit: Q-Wert, all things considered I think your brother did a good job

Maybe, or it is only a Symbol / Avatar for a other Person.S'rrt wrote:Hehe Lia, I like the Tarias-one but the dragon is tiny Maybe it's a baby dragon.

or for Tarias.
Or maybe something others
Who know? I know
And yes i make those renders by myself.
Re: Self- and professionally made character pics
Interesting. If those are from a while ago, you surely must be better now, right? Have you done more 3D renders lately?
Also how did you learn to do them?

Re: Self- and professionally made character pics

One picture made by Drakon Gerwulf for Titus Marcelius I got recently

Wow that is cool.Karrock wrote:One picture made by Drakon Gerwulf for Titus Marcelius I got recently
Re: Self- and professionally made character pics
I'm sure Drakon will answer this himself but do you know how he made that, Karrock? Did he create the 3D model(s)? I'm assuming that's what someone like Lia or Drakon would do.
If I knew more about 3D animation right now, I'd probably make really jagged and awkward representations of scenes from IG

Picture of the Don, sponsored by your taxes.
Great pictures everyone!
Re: Self- and professionally made character pics
I don't know how he made it. When I tried to make own picture Titus looked like this (later i used pictures from internet).S'rrt wrote:I'm sure Drakon will answer this himself but do you know how he made that, Karrock?

Made by me pixel after pixel
Looks like zombie
(My goal was to draw evil character)
Re: Self- and professionally made character pics
He does look like a zombie but the proportions are right at least
I see we've declined from hand/digital drawings to pixel art and jokey pictures. Any more technically impressive works?

Re: Self- and professionally made character pics
I've drawn a good number of pictures Illarion related over the time I've been playing.
Many of them were character pictures. I had more of them, sadly I've either not come around to digitalise them,
or they got lost when I moved (a lot), or I gave them to the person who played the character I had drawn (without first taking a picture or scann it, dumb ).
But I have some of them still saved. I tried to sort them chronologically, the first one smust be around 6 years old or so... I couldn't remember for all of them, but the last ones are very recent.
Some have a very high resolution so I'll just post a link to an album here

Edit: I just remembered that I drew that big ass dragon picture back in .. 2010/2011 (?) that was available as a downloadable background on the Illarion homepage. PO Damien has the original.
It's also an Ingame graphic, a picture frame with a scaled down version of the drawing that hangs here and there, always makes me laugh when I see it ingame.
