FO1 vs FO2 Character portraits

[Wild_qwerty]

These are the original FO1 and FO2 characters. I'm trying to decide wether people like the original FO1 'green theme' or the more detailed FO2 heads.

I'm really just interested in what people like

Fallout 1 - Combat


Fallout 2 - Combat



Okay, this is a sample of the sort of thing I'm working on. It is the original FO2 Combat.frm recoloured into a 'green' theme

These F01 look better but you made plastic man.

-use mask like this and save it in .tif format

-in MS photo editor chose effect "texturizer" and load this mask
-change all picture colours to more green

(and add screen frame without these changes)

Personally I prefer the F02 heads, Lich adding that texture makes it look too much like an FOT character portrait. You'd be better off adding a dot texture.

If you do want to go with the lines there's a handy plugin you can download. You can adjust the thickness of the lines etc.

Yup, I like FO2 heads more than this green ones from FO1.

I used Photoshop's magic wand tool to cut the face out. And kept the canvas the same size so once it was tinted to green and pasted over the original it was perfectly lined up.

I like the green theme, but I suppose the portraits were for the times. The green for the technological Vault Dwellers and the clear background for the Tribals.

But I prefere the green screen.

Actually the template was taken from FO1 and is a 'video screen' where as the FO2 is a stone/hut wall with tribal spirals carved into it.
