Hi rez NPC portraits from DaggerXL project

[asknarin]

HI, my name is Alex.
Some time ago I has been drawing hi rez versions of a portrais (only major NPCs unfortunately).
here are some examples (sorry about hotlinking):







you could see others on this russian TES fan site https://elderscrolls.net/daggerfall/dag ... traits.php

During that project I also altered some racial features to be more accurate to the lore (like redguards and dunmenrs - they all white in original daggerfall due to the mistake made by originl artist in bethesda).

Unfortunately, I haven't got time to draw them further so if anybody have intention to use this work somehow I could share everything - in PSD format and layers.
(I'll post it anyway a bit later after I upload it somewhere)

OH wow, these are incredible work.

Thanks for posting them!

Welcome to the forums!

These are genuinely beautiful. It would be lovely to see these in game someday.

Thank you
All of those were made during active phase of DaggerXL and I stopped drawing them as soon as all work on XLengine was sudennly stopped (you know the story)) ). It was years ago and now I don't have enouth free time to continue. So i hope that somebody would find it as an interesting task (It is actually a very good exercise for an artist and could be used as portfolio)

I'll post a link to all sources later today - there are PSD files with all layers - it's free for anyone to use it in any way:
- use in a game
- learning how to draw such stuff
- use as a base for other portraits (for example original daggerfall uses randomized portraits from major NPCs with some random additional elements or random colors)

Only one character is an exception i it was drawn in one layer in ArtRage (more like artistic exercize)

I'm not an artist, but I know when art looks good - And that is very good art!

Hi mate, have you used the name Lhutojar or something like that?

I downloaded your work from the internet 1 or 2 years back - various places but ofc XL forums were the main source, and I used some of the portraits as a replacements of the portraits in my Daggerfall remaster mod viewtopic.php?f=27&t=1168

I took it as a conservation of the art, because things like this can dissapear from net during the times and they are just gone...

I wrote the thanks to the credits of my mod, but I used name Lhutojar, because thats the only thing I knew about the creator/you.

Can I please use (or more precisely - continue using) that work?
What name should be stated in the Mod credits - if you ok with me using it?

Awesome job! I just changed gamma and added those vanila golden frames... and some other stuff I dont remember.

OMG downloaded the package, opened 0-0.psd and those layers are AMAZING!!!!!
Never had a idea images like this are made like that. WOW!

[asknarin]

Can I please use (or more precisely - continue using) that work?

sure you could use it anyway you want
I wish I coudl have more time to finish major NPCs at least
