This is awesome
She looks so happy and lively. Her purple beret is adorable.
Nice job!

Based off this, I could definitely see using your custom portraits on NWN! Excellent work!

I'm not sure if it was the stock or your work, but the look in her eyes is absolutely amazing. I'm not sure I've seen such a strong look in the eyes of a digital painting before.

Is this picture referring to a Bard like the ones in Raven's Shadow by Patricia Briggs.

I haven't read Raven's Shadow so I can't say. This is a BARD in the Neverwinter Nights game (Dungeon and Dragons):
"It is said that music has a special magic, and the bard proves that saying true. Wandering across the land, gathering lore, telling stories, working magic with his music, and living on the gratitude of his audienceβsuch is the life of a bard. When chance or opportunity draws them into a conflict, bards serve as diplomats, negotiators, messengers, scouts, and spies.
A bardβs magic comes from the heart. If his heart is good, a bard brings hope and courage to the downtrodden and uses his tricks, music, and magic to thwart the schemes of evildoers. If the nobles of the land are corrupt, the good bard is an enemy of the state, cunningly evading capture and raising the spirits of the oppressed. But music can spring from an evil heart as well. Evil bards forego blatant violence in favor of manipulation, holding sway over the hearts and minds of others and taking what enraptured audiences βwillinglyβ give"

Raven's Shadow is a good book. You should read it. There's also a second one called Raven's Strike. ^^

Very beautiful work, Wycked. It a wonderful painting effect. Nice lighting and background. It's sort of a simple portrait but with wonderful combinations and effects.

Long time not seen !

As always

I think it's my absoulute favourite game, I've been playing it since it's realease in summer '02 ^^ There are so many good modules and custome content on the NWVault, it had kept me very busy

Wow 
Because, I'm playing with a rouge in the game 
Rouge, shadow dancer, warrior and I just started the ranger levels with him
So, she is deadly
He has hard skin XD
So usually, my 2 mates (the tiefling and the drow girl) kills him
Funny, isn't it ?
But most of the critters don't even know what hit them
They die in the first blow

Mephistaphales, is that that end boss? He was very tough to kill 
Check out this build, it's a good one: [link]
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, he may cause high backstab damage, but I don't think, it would even hit my rouge
He has (hops 
So, it is nearly nothing except the good old devil boss, that is able to hit her
She has epic evasion (that means, she can discard one attack automatically int every turn) + some rouge skills + Slippery Mind, witch makes her even harder to hit
+ her saves are stunning too
Her will and other saves are good too, that this Devastating Rouge is not capable of
He lacks the skills, that is neceserry for a few things... (Such as the Shadowdancer's Hide in plane sight - witch means, I could disappear before his very eyes easyly
I tre to balance my characters, not only to be a killing machinem, but to be bale to play a game in an RPG enviromant
I think, it is not all of power-gamer style
Ok, if I would play with PVP that is another thing
Two + 10 Kukri, wiht haste, and other cute things
But, I will try to put her up
And if I'm correct, she is not reached the 40th level yet...
But, maybe I'm mistakeing
This is my... huhh... maybe my 15th character ?
I was tried out a bunch of things with them
But I like to play cleric too, but not too much...
I like to be in the shadows, and strike from there with surprise
That is an advantege, that only the Wizard has, but with limited capabelity
They have limited spell slots
We, rougs have unlimited opportunity to hide in shadows and such
But a good dispell is a good thing to wipe the defence of the wizards
Ok, I wasn't able to trie it put, because, I haven't playaed it iwth other people yet XD
The computer enemies are not so good in tactics
So they are not compareable to human players
Ok, I guess I finish this comment
I will try to make a few shots of my stuff and put it up here to show you

This is yet another game I enjoy watching friends play

Bards have always been amongst my favourites, together with the cheeky rogues
Thanks so much

This so rocks! *luffles on it* I could sooo use this. I might even break out NWN again just to use it (though probably not...). She looks halfling, I think, or a younger human. And the hat actually fits with one of the halfling heads in the game. Tis neat.

You should make it a Sims 2 picture. I would, but I have no idea how to make objects or recolours in the game. x.X
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't know either =/ Unless I use the picture templates that came with the game because then I can use the easy way of doing Sims pics and not go into all that complicated stuff. But unfortunately there are so few template sizes to chose from and much of my art come in strange sizes

Yeah, but you did great with those vampire portraits. They got featured and everything. Very deserving it was, if you ask me. You're very talented. ^^

Soooo cute! I love it!!! ^_^ I love the feathered hat and the necklace and the pan flute (if I remember the name correctly)
