I love that piece, but that's a pretty washed scan. Here's one using the original:

Do you guys remember this Metal Gear game? It's definitely real and not made up, so it should be added.

For those who don't know, Redshift is currently working on The Quest 2, which will be not only turn-based but will also have a party. It might take a while though.

Oh don't mind me, just that Octopath Traveler jRPG people seem to be talking about.

the art Terry Oakes did for Mutant Chronicle sourcebooks makes for p. badass avatars

 

[unfairlight]

Thinking of making some for CS 1.6
Wot res should they be

 

[unfairlight]

Thanks.

I'd like for the Codex's ELEX avatar deficiency to be remedied. A compressed file is available here.

Examples:

Since Desperados 3 is happening, how about some Shadow Tactics based on that concept art.

No Kuma profile pic

Done. If this could be added to Shadow Tactics it would be my new profile pic.

I noticed several characters featured in The Battle for Wesnoth's mainline campaigns were missing in the corresponding game avatars section, so I decided to crop and resize their portrait files included in the game directory (1.14.4 version) in case the moderators feel like adding them to the database. Eighteen images in total, all of them in a 96x96 px size and with a transparent background.

I also uploaded them as a .zip to Zippyshare.

It would be cool if you could do all of the game's portraits in this style (with a transparent background).

It seems the existing portraits are also JPGs instead of PNGs, very lame

Thank you for taking my modest proposal into consideration and adding the image files to the database. Here are the rest of the mainline campaigns' characters of which I could make decent avatars:

And the .zip file containing the thirty-two new avatars: Zippyshare

A few for PlanetSide 2.

Will get cracking on the ones I promised to make for CS 1.6. Eventually.

Infinitron, these haven't been uploaded yet either. Any reason for that?

Maybe I forgot to. You should upload them again since Filedropper does what its name says (drops files really quickly).

 

[Lady_Error]

Okay. It's there again at the same URL:

New avatar gallery - the actual Planescape: Torment portraits (including unused TNO concepts):

More stuff coming up later.

 

[Kev Inkline]

Collector's edition Numenera Portraits, I can upload the archive as well, if it makes it more convienient to implement these.

I feel betrayed, somehow.

We needed a better Icewind Dale II avatar gallery.

Portraits in IWD2 come in two sizes - large rectangular full body portraits for the character screens, and small square facial portraits for the main party interface. We want the latter for the Codex gallery (because I can't be arsed to manually crop out the faces from the large ones).

Problem: The square portraits are too small. The Codex uses 96x96 avatars and they're 42x42. They'd look like garbage if I upscaled them.

Solution: Use a template matching computer vision algorithm to automatically locate and extract higher res versions of the facial portraits from the larger full body portraits.

import cv2
import imutils
import os

SMALL_EXT = "_S.BMP"
LARGE_EXT = "_L.BMP"
MATCHED_EXT = "_L.PNG"

SMALL_SIZE = 42

names = [filename.split('_')[0] for filename in os.listdir() if filename.endswith(SMALL_EXT)]

for name in names:
    small = cv2.imread(name + SMALL_EXT)
    large = cv2.imread(name + LARGE_EXT)

    template = cv2.Canny(cv2.cvtColor(small, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY), 50, 200)
    found = None

    for width in range(SMALL_SIZE, large.shape[1] + 1):
        image = cv2.Canny(imutils.resize(cv2.cvtColor(large, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY), width = width), 50, 200)
        r = large.shape[1] / image.shape[1]

        result = cv2.matchTemplate(image, template, cv2.TM_CCOEFF)
        _, maxVal, _, maxLoc = cv2.minMaxLoc(result)

        if found is None or maxVal > found[0]:
            found = (maxVal, maxLoc, r)

    _, maxLoc, r = found
    startX, startY, size = int(maxLoc[0] * r), int(maxLoc[1] * r), int(SMALL_SIZE * r)
    endX, endY = startX + size, startY + size

    matched = large[startY:endY,startX:endX]
    cv2.imwrite(name + MATCHED_EXT, matched)

Result:
