Description
Big picture. All the characters who can join your party in the PC game 'Baldur's Gate 2' (ones I have done so far anyway), reimagined in 3D. Specifically, in Poser 7.From left to right, with approximate heights in brackets (which I have decided more or less arbitrarily or haven't been bothered to work out so just left at default, like Anomen and Keldorn) they are:
Aerie (5'3")
Anomen Delryn (6'1")
Edwin Odesseiron (5'8")
Imoen (5'4")
Jaheira (5'9")
Keldorn Firecam (6'1")
Mazzy Fentan (4'0")
Minsc (6'6")
Nalia De'Arnise (5'6")
Viconia De'Vir (5'6")
Yoshimo (5'7")
Still to do Valygar, Korgan, Cernd, Haer'Dalis, Jan Jansen and Sarevok.

If this was the right size I'd totally use this as my background. It looks so cool, having all the characters next to each other like that. Erp, I love them all.
I'm rather looking forward to Haer'Dalis, and Jan. Haer'Dalis in particular sounds like he'd be tricky, with all his funny markings and what not.

I just wanted to see how they sized up. I suppose I could put them in a couple of rows, or add something above and below them so it can be used as a wallpaper.
As for Haer'Dalis and Jan... the markings will be tricky. And I'm not sure what the best way to go about making a Gnome figure is yet.

Hmm, that's a good question. Just how short IS a gnome? I've never stopped to think about it. They also look rather ... pudgy, but I'm not sure if that's intentional or not.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Between 3'4" and 3'8" according to FRWiki. As for pudgy... they're not really supposed to be although that's how they all look in BG. Like Halflings are small Humans, Gnomes are basically small Elves but with beards. But unlike Elves they age gradually (they can still five hundred years though).

Oh you don't say! I had never thought about the difference between halfings and gnomes like that before, but I suppose it's been yeeears since I last read into the manual or the descriptions or anything like that at all. It's really quite fascinating huh?

Can't say that I agree with some height charts. Just don't mind me I'm 6".
Elves and half-elves are generally a bit shorter that humans, so Jaheira can't be that *tall*. But I agree, that Minsc is the tallest, but Sarevok is around 7"- 8". From all I've heard.
Just curious: why 6"1' is a default?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's about how tall the base male figure I use is (Michael 3 from Daz3D.com)
I think if Jaheira were fully human she might be a bit taller; 5'9" seemed a good height to me because its taller than most women but not massive.
I did make Minsc even taller originally, but being too big causes problems. It makes it more difficult to pose and show him interacting with the other characters. 7-8 ft seems too big though, even for Sarevok. Maybe with all his spiky armour on... but I feel he should be imposing and charismatic without being a giant.

A quote from FRWiki: "In appearance, Sarevok was enormous for a human male." Well, I read some Gamejag fanfics, where was written that Sarry was, at least' two heads higher, than Imoen.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But that would make his Koveras disguise even more ridiculous... a seven foot tall man is going to stand out in a library. I've seen discussions on Gamejag where much of the 'size' attributed to him is down to charisma... I like that interpretation better. I've always pictured him as Yul Brynner.

Very nice indeed. Mazzy is to cute
Aerie, Imoen and Mazzy are way to overdressed
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well... maybe I'll address that soon, since it's summer
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I surely would appreciate that

Dont' forget Sarry and do more big picture. It's too little for eyes
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You can download a full view of this... it's much bigger.

Okay... I'll try to do Mazzy and then Valy.

I noticed you were missing a few shorties. That ought to be fun, proportion-wise.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aerie's the shortest so far. The shorter folks will be more difficult though; well, making a character into a Dwarf is easy enough, its getting clothing to fit thats hard because of the different proportions.
I gather halflings have similar proportions to humans, just well... half the size (well, around 4ft I think they're meant to be in FR). I have a long beard for Korgan, but it doesn't have any braids or anything in it...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
...Say, I don't know much about how poser works, but if I were to draw you some braids, would you be able to somehow render them in there? I can do braids.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Probably not... not that way around, anyway. Some of the real pro Poser artists though often do the renders and then paint all the hair/beards on afterwards using special brushes in Photoshop.

Nice work overall on the characters~ Gleeeee, Minsc is as tall as my dad~ <3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you
Tall family then, is it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pretty much, it's kinda nice, but real hard to find clothes~

Your feet don't hang over the end of your bed or anything?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They hit the edge of it, but it's not too bad. It's just that I'm way taller than most women, and my legs are so long that I can't find pants that fit both my legs and my hips. It's real annoying *laugh*
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Nice job here 
Do you plan to do Sarevok at some point? That would be a little...odd...with one character taller than even Minsc. Definitely looking forward to the others, too
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I forgot Sarry... I probably will do him, yeah. Don't know the best way to do his glowy eyes though. Don't know how tall I'll make him either; bigger than Anomen, but I don't know if I'll make him as tall as Minsc. Probably about the same height, or maybe slightly shorter. Like 6'4 or 5.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Photoshop for glow. You can get a subtle reflection off of the face or helmet that way as well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. I could probably make the material of the eyes more reflective in Poser as well.
