So, portraits eh? It's something many/some mods are missing, and I thought I could chip in for the community while honing my photoshop/character creation skills. I got the idea/motivation when I was looking over the Uomoz's Corvus compilation mod and the implementation of encountering specific characters/fleets. Having special portraits for these "bosses" could in my opinion benefit that experience somewhat, so what the hell right? in any case I will in this thread upload 128x128 versions images of my high resolution characters specifically made for starsector (and the mods in Uomoz's Corvus). So feel free to use the portraits for your mods if you feel they fit your aesthetics (You can ignore the characters current names if you wish ).

without further ado, here is the current list of avatars & portraits:

Spoiler

Clara the Pirate. (vanilla pirate/junk pirates was in mind)

DeviantArt full resolution edition

Serkh the Diplomat. (With Shadowyards Heavy Industries as inspiration)

Doing these I became aware that tall characters gets clipped a lot if you want to maintain details hence two versions of Serkh so you can choose yourself.

Too bad that the events can't have unique portraits but a single shared . I'd love to add this collection to the character creation though!

[Thule]

Wow, cool portraits. Keep it up. I am exited to see what you can come up with next.

[zakastra]

I know it would be a ton of work, but couldn't you implement each event as its own self contained faction? that would allow you to define a pool of one portrait, one captain name and appropriate chatter for each of the events .

[Uomoz]

No, it's madness.

[TheHappyFace]

they look really good , like how you did the clothing on the serkh

[mendonca]

Fantastic stuff, Etfaks, good to see you back around

okay thats too bad, but maybe Alex will implement the functionality for something like that in later versions of the game as the campaign gets more fleshed out.

I never left, I have just been lurking this entire time

also, thanks for the kinds words to everyone.

also, I did another one

I have another in the works, but it will be a couple of days before I have the time to finish it I think. It will switch it up with an old dude instead of all of these ladies

[rankalee]

frankly, i'm not a fan of the art style of the standard in-game portraits but I would use these in my game as they look fantastic.

cant wait to see some more... or maybe do a full pack?

[TheHappyFace]

i think i do have something to comment about.
i think some parts are a bit blurry and would imo look better if they were a little more harsh.
for example within the hair ,cloth and the how they they call those things in english.... those lines in the neck.

also there is a small disorder in the right part of the neck (viewing at her) in the last picture.
the neck just makes this strange turn where the neckless is.

hope i was a biut clear and understandable. beside those two things they look really good.

Slightly more contrast in the linework and shading etc might be good. I'll try experimenting with that.

I totally see what you mean. I definitely need to fix that.

I'll keep doing them for awhile at least, but I don't really have any plans or goals for how many or how big the pack will be.

Anyway many thanks for the feedback, it's appreciated

etfaks, in case you could be interested, could you help me out a bit here? See, i have no current portraits for the Caelus mod, which i so dearly need, and i haven't gotten anyone to draw them. Seeing as you're (damn!) good at drawing portraits, could you help me with this problem? If you're interested, send an PM my way!

I don't mind you using the portraits. If it improves your starsector mod/experience, feel free to use them

Additionally I have finished my old guy also in a blue theme. Introducing Kraknar!

Kraknar "seh kapitaine"

and I have updated Adreena to a less weird looking neck version.

[EDIT]
I knocked out another one, so two in one update, yay

Meerta - the Aureolin Coat.

@etfaks


Awesome. Also, could you draw me portrait in the style of a naval officer? If you've played dead space 3, or seen the dead space 3, i was thinking something like THE SCAF high commanding officer's uniforms, but more strict. But if you don't want to or can't,  that's fine too. I can sort it out in different ways.
