About Patrinia Villosa's portraits pack

[Ezumiyr]

A long time ago (one year?) there was a thread posted by Patrinia Villosa, about a manga-esque portrait pack, that looked very good (even for non-manga adepts like me), with things like that:

or this:

First problem: I can't find the thread on the Paradox forums (I guess it was somehow deleted ?).
Second problem: it seems there is a working version of that mod for 2.3.4 . At least it's what written on a korean blog (called "Magical Night"), on a thread whose title is "크루세이더 킹즈 2 초상화 (포트레잇) - ppp 모드 소개", that is: CK2 portraits - PPP (= patricia's portraits pack ?) mod presentation), 2015/05/04.

It was posted on a korean website called "Daum Café". With my little knowledge of Korean I managed to create an account, but it seems that I need to join some group if I want to download the mod (if it's still there) and unfortunately I don't understand how to do that.

If a good soul could help me with this, or has news about Patrinia Villosa, I would be very grateful.

Even back then I think it was in the same state. Found the original thread just now if you search for anime portraits.

Eww, I don't think these look very good at all. They are featureless. Their faces are all flat with just the eyes and then a few tiny lines for mouth, nose, and eyebrows. All devoid of character. Just different skin colors. Like a bunch of clones, or toys.

Edit: Hell, one girls eyes are just a couple of dots.

Joining groups on Daum generally requires a Korean SSN or Alien Registration Number. If you're not a Korean citizen/resident or know someone who is, you are likely out of luck, I'm afraid.

I got an AR number I could lend you mine if you want. I´m also interested about those portraits for modding purposes.

EDIT: Jesu the process to confirm your ID is crazy. Sorry I'll wait until Monday and ask a friend to help me do it. Again sorry. I'll bump this thread once I have the files.

Well, It's true that they look like each other, but what I find interesting is that edit them or adding new portraits in the same style is a lot easier than with the currently pseudo-realistic portraits. Especially if I want to add more fantasy portraits, like sharkmen or fauns. They are minimalistic and coherent, that's why I like them.

Oh. It's gonna be hard then. Thanks for the info !

O.K. here is the file

SORRY for the long wait. I finally convinced some girl to do it for me after some knowing looks. Next I really want CK2 in Hangol but I'll wait for that.

EDIT: it also works on the most recent CK2.

You are a true hero of the community thank you!

I'm so glad there's still people interested in this. I was so excited when the thread originally appeared then we got nothing because we're not korean.

Is there any way we could even contact the original modder?

 

[Super-Soviet]

I never thought I'd see the day.

 

[majorlupa]

Haha this mod is funny. I'd like to see extended version. No beards atm and males have like one face. Also cuman facepack doesn't work.

 

[klopkr]

I just wanted to share how awesome I think this mod looks paired with the one I'm working on.

Submod please!

 

[klopkr]

Submod please!

I would love to make one and it wouldn't be too hard. The problem is the original creator is missing unless i move to korea and learn korean.

 

[Okawoa]

I type passable Korean (speak like an 8 year old) do you want me to get in touch with the creator? I'm thinking

1) can we use your mod as a collaboration?
2) 안녕하세요! from Paradox plaza.

Yes it would be immensly helpful if you could ask the following.
1. Post the mod themselves in their thread
2. Check the forum so I can send them my own message
3. Ask if I can make one or two submods using their content with full credit to them
4. If they've abandoned the mod allow me to keep and pass on upkeep on it until they return

needs custom backdrops as well. also can we get some slightly more mature features.. the young adults look like teenagers even for cartoon standards.
