    Default ETW and NTW avatars

    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




    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.

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

    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:



    becomes



    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.

    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.

    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....

    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.
