Valen Portrait
« on: November 24, 2005, 09:40:42 PM »
Standard Valen portrait does not suit her (too gentle looking - sniffing a rose), as a suggestion i would suggest the following portrait....

Go here

It's the second last portrait, you see the female vampires look Egyptian, this portrait conveys her evil scheming nature in an egyptian way, perfectly! ;D

Some portrait with the teeht out would be better. Or with blood on her mouth, like the one I use for Lydia the lich.

Personally I find the portraut of Valen very fitting, being a Vampire is not imidietly noticible, that's the whole beauty of it.

@Irenicus - nice photo, don't think You look evil, though...

Though you have to admit the red eye looks kinda frightening.

Irenicus, don't get me wrong, but in order to gain scary looks, you'll need more than a Paintshopped red eye. You need a pale look, maby a scar too or some other unproportionate feature. Let's face it - you are just to cute to be frightening.

This pic looks better, but you still need to erase the background and draw something over the white shirt. Oh, one last thing - try to add some scar, or a tatoo.

I just had an idea - you can even make your face in 3d, if you have the means - 3d max or even one of the EA sports' NHL games. They allow you to import your picture into a 3d model. I eve made a mini-comic with it.

ok i dont know how to do tattos, yet!

or scars

im going to work on the clothes but i thought it would be intresting to show step by step, here ive started to make it look like a bit more evil, added a ncie background, which will be darkened and blued slightly, to give a more of an evening effect

.... i hope

That's what I was going to suggest next.

Scars are not that difficult, neither tatoos, but I've never worked with Photoshop so I cannot be of much help there. But I could try to alter that last picture,if you allow it, and see what happens.

I'll use that one too, if you don't mind.

Something funny while we are on the vamp topic:

Q: What's a vampire's favourite fast food?
A: A guy with very high blood pressure

Q: What does a vampire never order at a restaurant?
A: A stake sandwich

Q: Why did the vampire go to the orthodontist?
A: To improve his bite

Q: What is a vampire's favourite sport?
A: Casketball...


Homer Simpson on vampires:
"Lisa, vampires are make-believe. Like elves, gremlins and Eskimos."

Homer on Bart being a vampire:
"Oh, Lisa, you and your stories: Bart's a vampire, beer kills brain cells. Now let's go back to that... building... thingie... where our beds and TV... is."



Q: Why did the Vampire subscribe to the Financial Times?
A: He heard it had great circulation
