homemade portraits for HoMM IV

[Karmakeld]

I was wondering if anyone has made any heroe portraits? I've made some myself for at campaign in preogress and would like to share, but I've had a hard time finding other home made ones, that fitted the style.. (btw anywhere to upload?)

[Corlagon]

Unfortunately, no, not really. I don't think there's any "bank" for H4 portraits, but no reason not to post yours here if you want to.

[Karmakeld]

thanks, but I'm a newcomer, and got absolutely no idea how to do so.. some help, and I'll post them all

I have also made several that I used in Lamentia's Story, and a few more on my abandoned campaign. I am assuming you are using the Facetool app for Equilibris. I would like to see the ones you created.

[Karmakeld]

seen the ones in Lamentias. yes, used equilibris facetool. But all edits was made in paint think I've finally figured out how to add them, here goes (these are my svamp elves - some have bigger changes than others. I'm especially pleased with Tonwen and the ones bases on the archer elf (creature). Also Sannah look mean) Originally I wanted to introduce them as dark elves, but most of them weren't pale enough, and it fitted my story better to make them Svamp elves:

I wanted to give the player the ability to choose character (the 4 Astral's) Zombie, Vampire, Skeleton and Necromancer (each given a class and bonus' that match the individual). But instead of just chosing a vampire pics, I thought it'd be more cool to use the same person, and I'm happy with the result. The mummy is for a pharao character - last 4 mumies were testings. (edit. removed 4 mummies and added ghost Astral)

and some kidding around and screen shots (dryads (trees) and torture chamber):



but please comment on them and feel free to use any.

You can download some new portraits from http://modhomm3.free.fr/. Click on "Portraits" under "Heroes4" category in the list to the left. Although most of them don't look consistent with original HoMM IV portraits

[Karmakeld]

yeah I managed to find this site some time ago, but as you mention yourself, they're not exactly the same style as HoMM IV. Just made 2 more - zombie pirates.

omg, what happened with my beloved Astral portrait?

But it's true, we all will get such a rotten face, before we end up in a skeleton outfit some years later.

I have also made several that I used in Lamentia's Story, and a few more on my abandoned campaign.

You don't mean that seriously, I hope.
Let's wait some months, and I can re-activate my support, I think.

Sorry, didn't know you felt that way about Astral. But I guess he got drawn by the dark side If it's any comfort, I renamed him to Moorgué

Meh, portraits is one place H4 actually totally fails at imo... what is that thing on Sandro's head anyway?

Although i still prefer H2's portraits, H3's more realistic ones are good enough i actually will admit that my preference for the H2 ones is just a matter of taste...

[Karmakeld]

mumies and pharaoes

I did import the H2 portrait of Kastore into my H-IV campaign Lamentia's Story (if you used the accompanying new_mod.h4r file), though you had to chose the correct storyline to see him. He is/was a major character in the campaign I was making and I used that same portrait.

[Karmakeld]

a few more.. Mostly pirates this time (will work on the 'normal' pirate's haircolor later as well as bandana color):

[Bloax]

You are a pirate, son.

[Karmakeld]

a face only a mother can love
