![]() Somehow the EoB-3 butcher "artist" did not spoil portraits that were already problematic. A problematic portrait that was -not- changed by EoB-3 artist. Now I moved some parts and this pixel shines moderately, all in placeĪ standard case but special in a way. His kind (EoB-1) face I returned in early versions like 5, that task was clearĮoB-III, unkind face and spiteful as if he has eaten a wormīut I could not remove that ultra-shiny pixel on this right shoulder (pauldron) where his armor collar goes behind this neck. Including the background and the jagged hair line in the left part. Now I didn't try to fix these EoB-3 features to make them fit, just returned as much EoB-1 as I could. Turned big, half-elven and sort of posh in EoB-3 but wrong color eyebrows etc. Was small and simplistic/disheveled in EoB-1, It's now as the original or even better, as I use more face colors than EoB-1 (lucky here, huh.) 7 I fixed his face but it was still "not quite" and too yellow.įIXED! I totally repainted the picture using another color set. In EoB-3 he was majorly re-painted as an ugly (and yellow) individual. The Blue Mage, was the pixel art perfection in EoB-1: Now I have returned the "proper" EoB-1 clothes and composition. The portrait composition was still primitive: 7 I restored his face but it was not enough. Turned primitive (and ugly-faced) in EoB-3: The Elf had a more complex portrait composition in EoB-1, The problematic Green Elf mage and the Blue Mage. Otherwise EoB-3 version was more primitive than that of EoB-1. And yes, I have fixed the portrait centering. The color transfer result is smooth now and looks nice as in EoB-1. Now I used all blue colors and less steel/grey as in the original. As it was repainted in EoB-3 with -one- continuous steel-grey color instead of 3 or 4 blue colors used in EoB-1.ĮoB-3 palette lacks some blue colors, so it was simplified and never corrected before. The Dark Warrior, with horns, the new one.ĮoB-3 version is crude, the right part. Might be even more agreeable than the original. Can't help but see it was a little crooked in the EoB-1 original. Sure, the Green Girl picture where it all started, as it became even less crooked. The total is ~36~ Portraits fixed in this version.Ī short summary of things to feel good about : So now they are usable or even just great! As they did not suffer much in the first palce. Now I fixed some details about these portraits and their eyes. They were only marginally spoiled in EoB-3, EoB-3 bad artist mainly did it by dimming their eyes. I'll mention as to why.)Īnd the "Plus 8" part, these are totally new 8 portraits that I never touched before. (Never fixed it in the past but it had to be done. I added a completely repainted portrait of the Dark Warrior, with horns. Keeping her "simple" as in EoB-1 is the key. No longer I tried to correct his face, a better copy of EoB-1 Blue Mage is better.Īlso it's the case of the Dark Girl. This is about the Green Elf mage, whose complex portrait composition was simplified by EoB-3 designer, also the Blue Mage who was totally remade in EoB-3 making him ugly and very yellow. Making better copies of EoB-1 portraits, instead. Beside fixing minor problems I completely dropped the attempts to fix or embellish EoB-3 versions of certain portraits. It will not be a disappointment for EoB lovers.Īlso now I know some people even transfer Amber from EoB-2 to EoB-3 so something remains to be done later. Now I fixed all those complex big or small things there that still troubled us. ![]() I could not fix it all completely in EYE.RES version 7_27. The story of fixing poor EoB-III portraits is not over. ![]() (Considering some characters will -not- be spoiled in EoB-III any longer.)Īctually it prevented me from using some portraits in my parties. Youtube videos are made and forums discuss it. ![]() Please see the link to new version 7_27 in the post above.Īlso I see EoB series are not really forgotten now. Yes, available means "available in good condition, as it should have been done long ago".ĮoB-3 designers did not do it so we must do it. Here I found some inspiration to restore ~Anya~ NPC portrait for use in EoB-III, this lady:Īs she was in EoB-III like other "old" NPC portraits but was spoiled in 10(!) ways. Sure, I have considered this Doom thread with EoB texture rooms. With the pandemic, it is good to be able to see our childhood friends again to keep us company and thank you so much for make it available again.Īnd I think this is right to have such attachment. It is a known fact RPG players love their characters, histories and stories, more than X-Com Squad Leaders! I know people use EOB resources even in other games, Doom, Dungeon Master Remake because many have an attachment to their RPG party characters. ![]()
