ETW and NTW avatars [Archive]

I'm a long time but not well known member of this forum so this might come out of left field, but since I have nothing better to do, I'd be willing to make some portrait avatars for those games. They're really good (especially NTW) and it's a shame they're missing for the most part (I saw that someone got started on ETW a while ago).

Here are some examples so you know I'm not just some kid who discovered MS Paint for the first time :laugh4:

Please note that all of NTW's character portraits are different from one another since they're all done in the style of period portrait paintings, so they're not going to have the same head sizes and look as uniform as portraits from M2TW for example.

Hello Graphic,

Neat. I assume they are categorized like Kings, Diplomats and so on? Can you store them like that in subdirs and send the zip to me? I'll add them.

Graphic

Yes they are and will do. Thanks for alleviating my crushing boredom for the time being.

Stupendous work... makes me a bit jealous that I'm stuck with this here mask.

Adding the mask to them is only a small photoshop job away...

Nice looking avatar you have there Tosa.:bow:And great work Graphic!

They still look good IMO and it's way too late to change the format, but the 50x70 size is unfortunate in some cases. With the NTW portraits a lot of the detail gets lost, like with scarface for example:

Anyway I should have all the NTW avatars to you sometime tomorrow, Tosa, then I'll move to ETW once I've had a break.

Very nice work. These avatars look realy good.
I hope they don't all look alike like most of the ETW portraits did.

That's awesome!

Well, my eyes are bloodshot and my left arm hurts, but I'm done with the Napoleon avatars and sent them off to TosaInu. Hope you enjoy.

I'll get to ETW once I've healed.

Would anyone object if I got a bit lazy with the ETW avatars? There are over 300 portraits in some categories, but they all look pretty much the same. I'm thinking 50 per category max.

I mean just look: https://i42.tinypic.com/161kc4l.jpg

Thank you Graphic. The NTW avatars are added.

There are a few ETW ones already. You may check those first to prevent duplo work.

Excellent.

It's hard to settle on one, though :laugh4:

You got to try some before you find the right one! ~;)

ETW avatars sent. Not much there outside of the European Admirals and Generals sections, because everything looks the same in the other categories (it was hard justifying any more than three icons for Indian assassins).

My work is done. Now where's the bengay for my carpal tunnel....

So many people have underwent plastic surgery that I feel I don't know anyone around here anymore. ~D Neat image quality.

I have to say that the NTW avatars are way way more atmospheric and arty than M2TW and ETW avatars ever were. Good job on that one ca.

Stuck with the assassins. Sigh. At least this one looks kinda new to me — were any added to the mod pool? Hmm.

well ... mine is also new :beam:

No. I used my old one from 2001. This one feels comfy.

You and TinCow are twins now.

I'll never change from this one. EVER.

I admit, I am jealous, Ser Clegane. Yours is, without qualification, awesome.

Is there any more girl portrait in NTW?

Just curious :creep:

TosaInu

03-20-2010, 11:36

I haven't seen any Beefy187. There are in ETW though.

Graphic

03-20-2010, 17:18

The only female portrait in NTW is Maria of Portugal. It's in "Historical Characters"

TosaInu

03-20-2010, 18:27

She is included in the rar you sent me, she should be uploaded too.

Graphic

03-20-2010, 19:57

Yeah she's there.

Fantastic work Graphic. Thanks for taking the time to do this. :bow:

Graphic, is it possible to add this ladies portrait to the avatars?
I was looking for her and couldn't find it...

I sent the .rar with the ETW portraits to Tosa so it's in his hands now.

Thank you Graphic,

The ETW ones are added too.

NTW and ETW had at least one thing good in them. Avatar pictures!
Checking the forum lately I see more and more avatars from those games!
Lol.. I may buy those games just because of these pictures! :beam:

If no one does it first I'll do the Peninsular Campaign DLC unit cards (if there are any new ones) but I can't afford it right now.

Graphic

Well I was real busy for a long time, had no internet for a while. Anyways, if I can get confirmation that they'll be used (if they're worthy, of course) I'd be happy to do the Peninsular Campaign and Shogun 2 avatars (I see thats been taken care of. Nice!). I just want to make sure I don't waste an afternoon for nothing :-p

Scratch that. Looks like all the portraits for Peninsular Campaign are encrypted because its premium content. That's a shame. Sorry for upping this thread.

and Shogun 2 avatars (I see thats been taken care of. Nice!).

*high-five* Looking good, by the way :wink: Loved your work on previous ETW/NTW avatars.
