'Hamsters and rangers everywhere: rejoice!' A portrait of Minsc inspired by Sporeboy who wanted to make his own BG portraits. I decided I wanted to do some also. At first I only wanted to do Boo, but then again: what's Boo without Minsc? Created from a picture of Christian Slater (quite tricky to make him bald but I feel it kind of worked), added some armour pieces and leather stuff to create armour. Hand also added. Boo was created from a hamster pic, but I ended up repainting a lot of his fur. I really tried to give it that BG portrait feel, with the armour and all, and I feel I have partly succeeded. The zipfile contains the entire image of them both, but I also added a version of Boo alone, for those who like it. Hope you like him ...

Well, Boo, I mean, who can argue? No one! Go for the eyes! A good conversion, and the changes from the original picture are supurb. I need to look at some more of Phaere's portraits - most are damn good. I'm being harsh here, its only a 9, because he doesn't look quite as large and fierce as I think he might, but boo looks great. _________________________ Jasperre Scripter. AI builder. Not Jassper.

I don't usually post in portraits section... but I had to this time. Extremely cool picture, I love this one! Of course, Minsc is one of the cool character(I can relate to him in a way... lol.) Keep up the great work. Anuis

The scar somehow doesn't strike me as scar-like, but more canyon-like. That's my only technical objection. Great work!

Awwww! Boo is so cute!

I see your point :) Maybe he is thinking on what to get Boo for his birthday. About the body: maybe because it is only a small portion of the shoulders you get to see he doesn't look very muscular, or big. Thanks for the comments!

Great portrait but somehow I think he looks bit too much that he is in thoughts about something. And his Body was big stronger if I remember correctly. But it's a great portrait anyway and people could see that this is Minsc ;) Good work.Ja khaless zhah waela
