Ugh... I don't know if I should show it, but...
I kinda decided to draw portrait in a way I think would be better. It's not exactly what I wanted. I subconsciously modeled a bit too much on style that alredy is presented. It is not so creepy I would like.
Here ya go:
and people seriously say the fans can't do better, lol

Not to discredit him but he didnt have to conceptualize, design, draw and do it for X more heroes on a schedule and idk if the process has more stages than the ones i mentioned.

I would also like to see heroes that bear the scars of battles, not only some lowly cut that's barely visible, but disfigured. People with eye patches, with eviscerated cheeks, deep scars, wounds made by arrows and gunfire, burnt flesh. Let's not forget that we are in a universe where magic is warfare, so there are people with all kinds of weird injuries. Also, undead should be even more disfigured, like someone who just got raised after being trampled by heavy war horses, those weight literally a ton, broken arcades, empty eye sockets, all kinds of wounds. Your hero should look like a seasoned veteran (through pepper spray and mustard gas  ) , someone who actually witnessed tens of battles. Also, why don't we got heroes that suffer from diseases? Like every one had syphilis in the middle ages  Let's not forget that even simple diseases could leave you disfigured in the middle ages, not even magic could cure all of them. Also, why not ugly obese people, because nobles liked to eat pretty much every thing peasants had, or on the contrary, skinny and anemic? Also people with rotten teeth, because I doubt they got toothpaste or they wash their teeth with urine
@asderuki:Kudos for that picture  
i dont disagree but healing magic is also a part of this world and i assume it kinda keeps at bay some of that stuff

Yeah, but how is healing magic compared to destructive magic? I guess the later has greater impact. Also "canon"wise how accessible is healing magic? If so, of what power? I guess there are some differences and more types of magical healing. It's not like you take a paracetamol and your leg grows back on. Also, it must be more difficult to contact or persuade an angel into keeping resurrecting you than going to the necromancer, no?

Actually looking at h6 where mealing magic resurected units... I think that it could grow a leg back too.
I think now heroes could be compared to D&D when it comes to magic. Both are high fantasy and as such have "glamurous" heroes 
Thanks for kind response

we dont know the limits so that's why i said to keep it in mind. Also while canon wise it might not be accessible to everyone, the heroes arent exactly commonfolk.
That being said, i do agree that having some ugly scarred hero would be cool. The last one i remember was a H5 mage and you couldnt see his face

Well, there was Kaspar, Orson and Vladimir from Necro, and I'd say they were pretty ugly...
I guess now we have to do deal with super handsome scarred dudes, like that Krystoff guy (or however you spell it).

none of them looked ugly, and Septienna, Vidomina and Lamentia werent even undead.
There's just beauty and ugliness then, nothing in-between?
And of course you don't have to be undead to be a necromancer but it helps.
well of course if beauty is a subjetive thing and i'm calling them beautiful is because in my opinion they looked beautiful. Now considering i already expressed my opinion about how every faction should have a wide range of appareances for it's heroes and how you seem to want to argue for the sake of it, i'm going to kindly ask you to flock off, featherface.
I grow tired of your attacks, Genya. You have been warned numerous times about insulting other members. I am penalizing and silencing you for 24 hours. The next time you insult another person, it will be a week.
Let this serve as a reminder to everyone that insults will not be tolerated in this forum.

Maybe for a Falcon or a Griffin. They could take 'featherface' as a derogatory reference to the family name .

It's a video game reference, guess y'all just aren't nerdy enough to get it
So, say, how hard would it be to mod in some backgrounds on these here character portraits, theoretically speaking?

If we are talking about heroes, lets remember that we are talking about commanders, nobles, guildmasters, spellcasters and so on. Them having access to better healing magic than average person is logical. Perhaps few have deeper scars and disfiguration, but are hiding it with some spell or item of illusion.
The whole existence of healing magic, even if most populace has only limited or minor access to it changes the world a lot, already a simple cantrip that can purify the wounds to remove any infections from them changes a lot. I find the "but in medieval times" argument often hollow, we are not talking about our Middle Ages, but a different world, with some different possibilities. For all we know there might be a common plant that is used to make a salve that removes pox-marks.
Most people probably don't get a chance to receive resurrection or some greater forms of healing, but even a person who continues lame because the healing spell wasn't powerful enough to heal his leg fully, is still luckier than a person who loses his leg.

Obviously, it all depends on who's talking to who on which matter. Sometimes insulting others warrants a suspension, sometimes a quality point.

I do agree that post wasn't really offensive, but Genya has been far from friendly here, for a long time. This doesn't really come out of the blue, does it?

It's not abuse, it's a simple accumulation of Genya's behaviour. He had it coming for a long time, actually.

genya deserved it, as the mod says, he/she constantly attacks people.
btw, do i missed anything at all? nothing new i suppose?
what i observed is, generally new comers, new generation etc.. doesnt get the idea of uglyness & beuty correctly, and expecting every faction be to be sexy/beutiful. it doesnt make it better, on the contrary it shallows the content the game has. world needs ugly creatures too you know. to me, we need them both! sometimes to feel like sexy/handsome, and sometimes to feel otherworldly. both of them serves somethings. there should be a balance in numbers between both. when it happens like this i go like ughhh: 1 ugly-creature like hero, 2342342342352 beutiful hero and some of them as main characters... i mean come on give me some high fantasy, weird hero to play! h6 had handsome/beutiful humans in every single faction. 
skillwheel discussion still ongoing as i see, which i find unnecesarry to discuss more: it has olds, news, reworked olds, basically it has a mix that can be expected from 7th game in series. discussing system mechanics, also, not making much sense to me considering h3 as the best game of the series: h7 has a better, upgraded skill system comparing to h3, clearly.
let me tell you what bugs me so much: random map generator. its very much in the blue right now, we dont even know if it will be in core game or not. this is a real deal game content to discuss if you ask me!
