Carmella(sorceress/blackguard) with her imp familiar 'Cherub'. always found playing NWN as an evil character and achieving the objectives somewhat contradictory. but i wanted to play a blackguard and felt the portrait should represent this contradiction. i wanted an image both beautiful and ugly, seductive and repulsive. the tone of the image is purposefully dark and subdued, but vibrant and barroque in its detail. ---photoshop collage, hand sketching, painted palette knife strokes, and digital photography. took a while, so i hope you like it as much as i do. the large image you see on this site is only used when you first create your PC. i felt there was a bit too much going on for the charactersheet image, so i cropped out the scythe and decapitated head on the left. if ya prefer the full image for your character sheet, just change the 'carmella_H.tga file from 256x512pixels to 128x256px and save it as carmella_L.tga 24bits/pix, overwriting the original carmella_L.tga file.
I believe that 'Cherub' is just the imp's name, probably chosen because the imp is anything BUT angelic, although it can also be used to describe a chubby, rosy person, which the imp clearly is. Anyway, I prefer the more "sarcastic" use. The name "Cherub" for an imp is just plain funny. :-) Oh, and so you won't feel slighted, dogmanthing, I curse at you. ;-)

Very Brom'ish. I like the textures especially. A nightmare with a touch of humour.
