New BG:EE Portrait!

PhillipDaigle

Hello!

Some new portraits came out of the approval system. Here's one by Jason Manley, artist to the stars.



As mentioned earlier, all of the new Jason Manley portraits will be available for free in the BG:EE for PC and Mac, and will be a DLC item for iPad and Android to make up for the lower price.

"Tres bien!" as the Germans would say. :)

Seriously, it looks great.

Some may question where a barbarian from the wilds would find a makeup kit, but I find it's best not to push the issue with someone of her martial ability.

Nice boobs (Someone had to say it). More pics please!

PhillipDaigle

But the Germans say it.

Sceptenar

People have been painting their skin long before L'Oréal came to the scene.

PhillipDaigle

Well, maybe she's born with it. Or maybe it's Maybelline.

No, that's the French. The dominant germanic language of the west Gaulands.

@PhillipDaigle Are there non-human portraits among the new ones?

WonKo

Nice! Looks like woad to me.

PhillipDaigle

I believe a half-orc is on the way, but I'm not sure. These were commissioned awhile ago and I don't have the list handy at the moment.

I like to think it's the blood of Xvarts who remarked upon her cleavage.

Dave

Her cleavage--get it?

Sabotin

I like the more indian tones instead of the usual viking style. And when I look at her I'm thinking "pride" and "Angelina Jolie", haha.

Pretty sure she's at great cleavage by now. Seems to be a bonus feat.

Dave

It's funnier if you can see her battle axe in the painting.

The_New_Romance

Looks great. However, if there's not at least one new male and two new female half-orc portraits coming, I'll get out my French!

RedGuard

Looks great. I'm wondering @PhillipDaigle any of the new portraits be intended to be alternative portraits for party NPC's? Or are these solely for the player character to chose from?

serabiet

Do SO like! Magical Manley <3

It's nice seeing all these sneak peeks before release.
Thanks @phillipdaigle, keep up the good work on the forums. I personally apreciate you guys being in direct contact with the forums;-)

This is actually one of our goals. There is a startlingly wide variety of ethnicities in the Forgotten Realms, and only a handful were represented in Baldur's Gate 1 and 2. While the Sword Coast is largely hispanic (although you'd never tell from looking at it in-game), there's no reason the PC can't trace their mortal lineage to somewhere as far away as Kara-Tur or Calimshan.

Kerozevok

Nice work as always.

That would be awesome if we could have all portraits from IWD in hi-res.

These are intended for the player character, or your entire party if you decide to build a custom one for The Black Pits.

Thanks for the reply.



I can't help but think the art is very Manley. :P

.....Ok, I'll see myself out.

Gubo

Nice. I can't wait to see more.

Koson

Although half-orcs sorely need more portraits I hope they won't be the only race apart from those pesky humans to get them.

Simple explanation, it's blood paint made from a slain gibberling. =)

ajwz

Awesome.
For those commenting on it - I think the portrait succeeds in making her look very attractive, but without being sexualised in any way. In my opinion.
