Fanart Thread

[Guest Kimmuryiel]

this is a bit off topic but I'm going absolutely nuts looking for a good screenshot of Isair and Madae (the one that keeps coming up from Sorcerers is WAY too small)...anyone know where I can find a about 500 pixel sized screenshot of them (about 500 pixels on one dimension that is)?

or can someone tell me how to take a screenshot and where to find it after it's taken?

the best way is using the 'infinity explorer' program that lets you see EVERY graphic and script used in the game http://infexp.sourceforge.net/

if you want to take screenshots, simply press the 'print screen' button on the right hand corner of your keyboard. The screenshots are stored in a folder inside the game directory, it should be C:\Programs\Black Isle\Icewind Dale II\Scrnshot by default. I hope it helps!

 

 

Going back to topic, I'd like to share with you all a fan art of mine, it's still work in progress, I hope you'll like it!

 

 

It's Diriel using Snakebite against some Aurielites. That spell does wonders ^_^

Good stuff, the perspective is very well done and the equipment/clothing is very well detailed. Body proportions look good and the hands are also well done.

Thank you :-)

 

This is my second fan art. I feel there's something odd with is proportions but I'd like to show it anyway:

This is very neat. Are we in Rizdaer looks pretty serious Now we just need Jaemal wrapped in smoke and mirrors and spells for the full romanceable males collection, heh.

Thank you ^_^

I'm planning to draw a fan art for each character

[Domi]

Heh, if you end up doing all the characters, I can use the drawings (with your permission, of course and if IWD2 allows) as display screens during the Epilogues.

I started drawing them all as a sort of 'tribute', I never thought they could be inlcuded in the game - expecially because only BG2 has got 'epilogues with pictures' - but if they will be useful I'd be glad to give you my permission to use them ^_^

A bit off-topic: I think I read a topic about a possible 'conversion' of the mod into a NWN2 module. Will it be developed or did you abandon the idea? NWN2 flexibility would let you do many things that the infinity engine does not.

[Domi]

If IWD2 can do static screens the sort that used in the dreams in BG1/BG2, I'd love to do that during the Epilogues. But IWD2 might not, seeing how they cut out so much functionalities.

 

Yes, NWN2 is flexible, and I would have loved to do it, unfortunately, being a full-time bread-winner for the family of three (inluding one 2 yo tot) pretty much precludes me from working on any large mod for NWN2. I was struggling for the past 6 or 8 months to put a 1 hour Deathstalker on the road.... The Chimeras are just not on the menue, particulary since I am not a great coder, and my areas are passable, but will not do the game justice. If I had a luxury to take a year off, that would be the mod I'd make. But the way it is now... I am struggling to get like 4 hours a week modding (compare it to 30-40 I did in the time of BG1NPC....)

Yeha, I'm 'experimenting' with the toolset myself and it took me around 15 hours just for a small interior with few dialogues... and I'm not finished yet o_O

 

 

This is what I've drawn today:

I just wanted to let you know that I've drawn some banters from the mod for the SHS challenge "Favourite mod banters", I hope you'll like them even if drawn with my parody comic style ;-)

 

 

 

[Domi]

Oh, bless you! I needed a laugh more than anything this morning!!! Looovely drawings.

[Epantiras]

I forgot this one ;-)

Done for the SHS #51 challenge: Weddings. I've drawn my interpretation of the 'charname corrupted' epilogue ;-)

 

[Domi]

Oh, goodness, so sweet in the twisted sort of way So Rizdaer in the expression and movement....
