Hi everyone. Since there doesn't seem to be a portrait thread for Tyranny yet, I thought I would make one. Hopefully people will add their own portraits to the ones I'm going to add in my post.
Some quick info:
1) Portrait dimensions/filetype [.PNG, 210x330, 76x96]
Tyranny, like Pillars of Eternity, requires a .PNG filetype and two images, one at 210 width x 330 height (pixels) and one at 76 width x 96 height (pixels). The ratios for these images are slightly different - the smaller image is slightly more 'squat', so if you're cropping/resizing down an original image, you may want to grab two slightly different pictures to get a good match, making the smaller image slightly wider.
2) How to name your portrait so that Tyranny understands it
Tyranny requires portraits to follow a naming convention as follows:
image_lg.PNG
image_sm.PNG
(where 'image' is the name of your portrait, so for example you could have dwarf_lg.PNG)
3) How to insert a custom portrait into your Tyranny game
Tyranny requires custom portraits to be inserted into the game folder found here:
\steamapps\common\Tyranny\Tyranny_Data\data\art\gui\portraits\player\male
(located wherever Steam is installed)
Suggestions for posting portraits in this thread:
a) Crop/resize your images properly. Images should be the correct size and filetype. Save your fellow players the headache of doing it themselves.
b) Consider whether your portrait needs to be cropped more. Good _LG portraits focus on the head and partial body, and good _SM portraits contain mostly just the head. See here for some examples from Tyranny.
Right, so here are some portraits I've found that I think fit with Tyranny's style. I've found it quite hard to find portraits that fit with the game.
Scout:
This is a simple quick edit (in paint, and I am by no means a good artist, it's a horrible copy & paste tiling job) to remove the quiver so that the portrait can be used for other class archetypes.
Fighter:
Again a quick edit to remove the arrows sticking out of the shield that I didn't like. Not the best work in paint here, again I am no artist. Maybe someone with some paint skillz can do a better job than me.
Blind Warrior:
I found this one quite intriguing. There's some role-play opportunities here for sure! I think it fits with Tyranny's style with its colours.
Weathered Old Guy:
If you use the second or third large picture, you need to rename it (remove the '2' or '3') so that it fits the naming convention of the smaller picture. I like this one. An older, wiser character.
Hooded Barbarian:
This one is a bit low resolution compared to Tyranny's normal style but I just love the portrait.
That's it for now. Hopefully you guys will add your own suggestions.
