My Custom Character Portrait Edit

[Kappa Omicron]

Hi!

I self-taught myself to use the free open-sourced graphic editor 'GIMP' so I could edit a portrait more to my personal liking for my first character I wanted to make in Kingmaker. Unfortunately all of the portraits I've seen so far haven't been to my liking for the first character I wanted to make, so I tried editing my own.

Now that official information on how the custom portraits work, including the sizes you need, I just finished editing mine and they should now be ready to use in the game!

I thought I'd share them here in case anyone else would like to use it for their own character. But don't expect too much, it didn't turn out as good as I wanted it to, but it will work for me. I'm a complete amateur after all!

I'm so excited to play tomorrow!

Nicely done. I cant even get them to the right size. If i set 330 for example, the other length is wrong....

Good work! You almost don't recognize the white-haired guy portait this was (probably) based on, only from the posture and background...

If you're using GIMP, click on the small chain link icon near the image dimensions in the resizing dialogue.

Whatever rocks your boat. I didn't see any good male dwarf portraits in the beta so I searched the web for a better picture and created the three png-files with correct formats in paint 3d.

Here are the ones I hope to use. Not my artwork but I created the titles.

Thanks! Like Frank said, if you're using GIMP, click that small chain icon.

I'm sure most graphic editing software have something similar to that, it's to keep the original aspect ratio of the image I believe.

Doing that for this image actually made the character look a little shorter and wider, but I ended up liking it more because I thought that helped made him look more different from the original.

Thank you! I did try my best, it honestly took me a few hours total to learn how to do and then do what I've done. It was pretty hard!

And you're right, it was that one! I linked in the album description to where I got the image from, aha.

If other people need help with this I found this tool that made it really easy.

Step 1: Just start by selecting Crop enter the correct values then lock aspect ratio, Resize the box to cover the parts of the image you want it to cover, then apply.
Step 2: Then select resize and resize the image to the correct size, enter the image size values again without locking aspect ratio, then you are done.
Step 3: Download your new image.
Step 4: Repeat for all the different sizes, Small (185x242), Medium (width: 330x432) and Large (692x1024x)

Here is a reference for which parts each picture should cover: https://imgur.com/a/gtkHk5J

So i did it all the way they said but when i hit refresh the old blank picture shows back up in the folder and the game doesn't see my pictures

[Ulthar]

why couldn't they just add a simple option in the game to import portraits. That sucks.

Which folder? AppData\LocalLow\Owlcat Games\Pathfinder Kingmaker\Portraits has like 12 folders (1 folder per portrait collection).

They did. You just have to fit the dimensions. At least they aren't demanding 24bit BMP images :)
