Morgo's Royo Portraits Thread

Is that a Hoopak in the Warhound riding Kender's hand?

 

Attached larger crop w/ tip (spear/lance) - she's going for big game

 

Nope ... I choose to see a Tasslehoff Burrfoot when I look at that picture.

btw, did I say how much I appreciate the portrait pack?

 

Thanks again :yes: It gives me a nice warm fuzzy feeling knowing my silly little pet projects are welcome. I've only contributed some fancy window dressing; the real work and improvements are the great Mod Packs with New Content and bug fixes - it's like playing a new version of the same old game each time. :thumbsup: Truth be told, without Co8 I'd not still be replaying the game so many years after buying it when it first came out. I guess that's why I feel so honored (even warmer & fuzzier) that some little project I made in only a few days has become an official Co8 portrait pack Mod Pack Vrs 8.0 will be a bittersweet arrival since it's the planned final release of such a great ongoing project.

I'm still working on the new portraits; but, I'm going slower with progress since I'm also doing other things. I'm going to have even higher expectations for quality and consistancy in the new pack, since I want them to be even better for others; and, since -they're the last two- (short of a "personnal use only" totally inappropriate Looney Tunes pack w/ bugs bunny, dafy duck, elmer fudd, etc) I'm ever planning on doing. Decision selections are not just based on general content and image quality, but other factors are being considered; such as uniqueness of head crop (to stand out from others), (Medieval) period hair styles (plus clothes, weapons, etc), facial expresions (rejected images with any hint of fear on face-real party adventurers have no fear; otherwise they'd stay in Hommlet), where the character's eyes are looking, period makeup (2 images rejected solely on color of eyeshadow used-yes they had makeup then but not that type and color, now woad on the other hand...), portrait crop content uniformity (head to waist), and so on. I've done large scale (7k-9k participants) weeks long Medieval reinactments spanning last 30 years, so I have expectations based on real life experiences too.

Enough rambling, I just stopped by to say I'm still alive and indeed working towards project completion. I've attached what I've done so far if anyone's curious or interested. More updates will follow as changes/new images accumulate. I've even experimented taking the 53x47 head crop from the original hires image instead of from the 130x150 reduced portrait crop; but, I saw no real resolution improvement.

Warning- Some images depict female elves & humans topless bosums !
