OK, too old? but maybe after a heavy night or three and a forced march

Sean Bean? ... (drools)... Not too old. Definitely not too old. *Love* that look, though, despite my general aversion to scruff.

 

If you wanted to go with a modified S.B., LotR has some great head shots of him, and he's done a lot of period work, so it shouldn't be too tough to find something appropriate.

Yes I'll definitely add to the puddle of drool forming. Big Sean Bean fan here. In no way too old!! (the scruff suits S.B, he looks a bit too evil villain when he's clean shaven.)

[McMazey]

Yet more drool. And you're right, I never thought about it before, but he does look a little villainy without facial hair.

[KathStoneDog]

So who can try a cut down portrait?

 

Seriously not me - thumbs not fingers. Please? Pretty Please? With Jam?

PS A head and shoulders, just right for BGing it? http://www.theargonath.cc/characters/borom...es/boromir1.jpg

It turns out that it isn't Sean Bean, but he's still hot.

 

Download Scruffy Aran here.

(The original image was very faded and washed out. I enhanced it somewhat.)

 

 

This one is definitely S. B.

 

Download Boromir as Aran here.

 

 

Edit: I've provided 3 sizes in each archive so that players can use these as PC portraits, if they want. If you want to go that route, just extract each archive in your installation's "portraits" folder.

[McMazey]

Slightly BGified version. (sorry, all distracted by the World Cup)

 

[KathStoneDog]

It isn't Sean Bean It's a shot from Black Death which is his new one.

 

Mind you, I don;t actually care /who/ it is now it's downloadable lol

Huh. Didn't look like him. Guess it is after all.

[Peachplums]

Hm... since everyone else seems to be contributing to the Aran portrait pool I guess I'll add mine.

 

Please be merciful in your critiques heh. This is the first time I've ever done portrait art and it's definitely not my usual style (which is more akin to cel-shading).

 

 

I think my biggest gripe with this pic is that it's too... clean. But whenever I try to smudge some dirt on Aran's face it looks like he's been sleeping in a trench instead. You never know, he very well could have been.

 

It did make me giggle, however, when I thought of telling this guy to make me his best pot of dog stew to feed the umberhulks. I think it was the juxtaposition between pot, armor, kitchen and conventional gender roles. Or maybe it was the mental image of Aran in full battle armor wearing an apron and stirring a bubbling pot while yelling at the party who are crowding him in the kitchen. "It'll be done when it's done! Stop asking." and then muttering curses as he tries to find some spices--he has his pride as a cook after all! Even if it is just for umberhulks... I've always imagined the dogs meant for the stew were similar to a rottweiler breed. Rottweilers can get pretty big. That could potentially be alotta meat with all four dogs. It would have to be a large pot. *cough* Ah! I prattle on...

 

I still have the un-flattened psd, so providing that I get some time I might tweak the portrait, or make another attempt to give him a more Baldur's Gatey flavor.

He's nice Peachplums
