Comments: The model’s picture used for this portrait was posted as a general request on the Baldur’s Gate forum. While it wasn’t the type of base image that I typically choose myself–as it completely lacked varied lighting sources and shadows–I nevertheless thought I’d try to adapt it. As I worked on the initial layout, the armor and spear just seemed to fit the image of a barbarian from the icy North, hence the choices of color and background. Though I’m not as happy with it as many of my other portraits, it at least blends in well in the game.
