Baldurs Gate Portrait Contest Update
Wow! What can I say. We are overwhelmed by the almost 360 submissions to this portrait contest. We have looked through all the photos now and have chosen the winners. I mentioned to Beamdog that there are so many good ones that it would make sense to call some out and add some "finalists" to the contest, with a little prize for them, so we are going to do that. I really appreciate the time you guys took, so thought we should expand the accolades. It's a lot of effort to get dressed up and take photos, and your efforts were very much noticed! I have to laugh at how many pets were included in the photos. A lot of cats, and even a guinea pig! I'll call out some non-finalists that were super duper close to being winners... Richard Farrelly... with your bird pet. It's possible that you have a perfect face for a fantasy character. I suggest you get an agent, dude. Thomas Nimbus Kirk... Super good job with this photo! The angles of your head and the mug, and the way you have it held close to your head are ideal. Love the soap suds in the mug for the extra effort! St1ng... Man, I fought to use you, and you were my top photo. I wanted to make you a magic user with glowing floating runes around your hand. But alas, I can only pick one male, and had to leave you. Sniff. Johann Mahinay... If I had the space for an orc you would have been him! Totally usable picture just a matter of balance... sorry! Emma Peterson... Perfect as well. Your look, the pose, it's all very BG! Give me a few more portraits and you would be one; it's a numbers thing! Kori-Shea Dupasquier... It's all there! This is ready to paint and you have planned out a good character. Top 3 female! (Get a license plate that says that.) julia.del... Great hair, hand, and face. This is a quintessentially good reference; the perfect pose and look to build on. Janusz Komorowski... The BG portraits could use another straightforward warrior male, and you are my choice! Your hair and expression work well, alas, I can only choose one. jpsimmons and Henry Lindeman... You guys know what's up! You guys have the look! Glen McKnight... Great job with the colored side lighting. Are you a photographer? You did a bang-up job with the expression and look. I consider this a perfect reference, so great job here. Marcin Oczesaa... You are doing exactly what is needed here Your hands and knife have been posed perfectly and I wish I could use your photo as you have hit the mark! Garret... Legolas. Drow warrior. Great look and perfect pose. I don't know what to say, I can only pick one! Stay tuned for the finalists!

Hamsters and rangers everywhere, rejoice! The Faces of Baldurs Gate I & II: Enhanced Editions Contest was such a success that it took us and Mike Sass a little bit more than 3 weeks to go through the submissions and pick the winners. You definitely rolled 18 Charisma for your CHARNAMEs! Were so humbled by the number of participants and the quality of your photos, stories, and character conceptsthat we might have something extra in store for a few additional finalists! (Boo says: Squeak!) Please check out the letter by Mike Sass below and stay tuned to our socials (Twitter & Facebook) in the upcoming weeks to find out who rolled a critical hit!
