Although we are given a wide variety of choices as to how our characters look in UO, we cannot choose what the facial features look like. In fact all paperdolls share the same face, the only difference being between men and women. At some point I wanted to see what my characters face might really look like. A face that revealed the personality within. So I drew portraits of some of my favourite characters, and surely enough, their own personality started to show through.

The size I chose based on the avatar picture size needed for the Stratics UO forums. After I had made one of Saphireena and added it to my profile, people started asking if I could make one for them too. Before I knew it, I had a long list of customers waiting to get their portraits done for a fee of 500 000 Britannian gold pieces each. This gallery displays not only the portraits of these customers, but also of my own characters and some friends chars as well. The last portrait I did was of Lady Nico in 2007 at the time when I finally shut down my UO accounts after 8 continuous years. Since then I have stopped making portraits.

If you are interested to see how they have been done technically, be sure to check the "123" buttons below the images. All portraits have been derived from my imagination and based on the character description + UO paperdoll. There are three exceptions: Carbunkle, Conner Loxley and Rubor Summisse which were based on a reference photograph of an actual person. What I find interesting, is that the most lively looking characters are those which came from pure imagination. Who would have guessed. These days I do this sort of art professionally, and work as a pixel artist at Digital Chocolate. You can see portraits I've made in games like Mini Gold Magic and [To be released].

S A P H I R E E N A   O F   E U R O P A It all started with this portrait. I often visit the UOSS message boards & write under the name of my best known character, Saphireena. At these boards, you have the option of placing a 65x75 pixel sized pic on the left hand column, a pic that would represent you. So I decided to make one of Saphireena, drawing the whole thing in Photoshop. It was a fascinating portrait to do, for as I worked on it, Saphi's personality started to show through and reveal itself.

V O I   M U S S I   M U S S I   O F   E U R O P A At the time, VMM is my main character I play with, so it was only natural to want to make one of him as well. Drawing a man was a little more challenging, since I have mostly drawn just women.
