Third BG portrait. Aerie and Viconia are my favourite female chars in BG so I ofcourse had to do a portrait of her. Maybe I will do Viconia as well, but we'll see. Created from base image of Charlize Theron ( I think at least), but I distorted her features heavily to try and give her that elfie Aerie look. Hair, and clothing created from several pics.
Beautifully done. She seems a lot more chipper and less clueless in your picture! :-) _________________________ Time Becomes a Loop - short, story-driven time travel mod!

Actually, I think the reason people think the right ear is a little high is simply because her head is tilted a bit. The hair's great, but I think the chin's a bit too rounded for an elf. Ah well.

I think she looks more like a halfling than an Elf

I really love your interpretation of Aerie

Thanks everyone. You're right about the ear I guess, I hadn't noticed it until you mentioned it. I did like the original picture of Aerie(as I do most of them, I guess my bg portraits aren't meant to outdo them or improve them, they are just my interpretations of the characters, like an ode to the greatest game ever created :)) I'll try and fix the portrait up a bit when I have the time. :)

Now this is very great work. It's a better Aerie than the one in BG II I think.. I never liked those extreme stupid and ugly looking picture of it. I mean not the standard picture was bad, but how Aerie looks on it. This is much better ;-) Congratulations for this great work. Will give it a 10 and a hall of fame click ^^Ja khaless zhah waela

something's wrong with her right ear (our left). It's too much forward me thinks...Timmy C. Everything is only because you think it is. For indeed, your brain can be interpreting your senses' signals wrong...in which case everything that you think is real, is only a product of your imagination. _________________________ Timmmeahhhhhhhhh!!!!!

WOW! It IS Aerie. Beautiful. Now if you can just do Anomen. That was the worst portrait in the pack! (neck wrinkles) (shudder)
