Portrait packs from the artwork of Jonathan Earl Bowser.
All I did was create the portraits - he is responsible for the wonderful artwork. All portraits have the artist credit listed on them.
The initial pack has 43 female portraits suitable for multiple classes - monk, bard, sorceress, wizard, druid, cleric and rogue. It also has six male portraits for warriors and rogues, one that is actually a dragon's head spewing fire.
Edit Note: There is one portrait from the artwork on Bowser's site that I did not include in the original pack because it has been available on the vault for awhile (uploaded by OmegaAxis), whereas the others are all new ones I just created this past week. The portrait of Cascade is here. I have included a color corrected version of Cascade in the 2nd pack added on Sept 9.
Sept 9 Update: I've added a second pack of images of Bowser's work. Some are earlier works, some later and you will definitely see an evolution in his style in these as well as different mediums he has used.
A couple of these new portraits are variations on ones in the original pack - the variations do not override the original portrait from the first pack.
There are 4 male and 44 female portraits in this new pack and I think you will see lot of variety in this pack. I believe there is something that should appeal to everyone here - sketches, oils, headshots, heads and torsos and even a furry.
The new images come from his website referenced above or from dealer licensed to sell his work at GreatMasterpieces.com.
All artwork depicted in all images in both packs is his work and all images contain the artist credit.
WARNING: Many of these new portraits contain some partial or full nudity. The human body is beautiful and Bowser's handling of it is masterful but it is only fair to let people know what to expect. I have included these portraits because of their beauty and out of respect for the artist's talent and work.
The screenshot I am uploading to the vault of the new portraits is masked so as not to offend anyone. The masking only appears on this screenshot and not in the portraits themselves.
Added a second pack. I consolidated the screenshots so all of the portraits from the each pack are on a single image. Unfortunately I can't delete the extra images or it deletes my download number as well.
The bottommost screenshot is for the 1st portrait pack. The screenshot second from the bottom is for the 2nd pack.
Hope you enjoy all of the portraits and I do encourage you to visit the sites I've linked to look at the original works because they are just beautiful.
