 Hello,

there is one thing I am asking myself for several years:
Is Aribeth de Tylmarande completely made up or is there a model that has been used to create this beatiful look (look at my avatar).

I mean... look at her pictures... she's so perfect.

What model could have been used to create her?
Does anybody know anything?

Greetings :)

The world is full of beautiful women.

As for a model for Aribeth, I suggest Grey Delisle www.imdb.com/media/rm198414848/nm0217221 , who was the voice of Viconia (and others) in BGII. 

Viconia is also possibly the hottest Drow in the Realms.

Rowr.

Well, she is actually much more beautiful in real. I looked at your squeezed avatar ;) as you said, and to me she looks like she is trying to quit smoking or got into some chocolate addiction. I know, I went there... :blink:

Why all these avatars look like they received a piano on their head... and got used to live under it for a while? :crying:

Way back in the day, there were actually some stock portraits that were modified via a patch or one of the expansions, I think because they bore too strong a resemblance to real people.

One looked a lot like Angelina Jolie IIRC for example.

The NWN portraits are "squashed" because they're taller than they are wide, but the social site apparently only supports portraits of equal height and width dimensions; the NWN ones are scaled downwards but not inwards.

And Aribeth's especially charming in my portrait, I think.

In my opinion, she's beautiful... even if she's squeezed.

But back to the topic, look at THIS or THIS. It is so close to reality, especially the second picture. 

What model could they have used?
Are there any guys from Bioware here to help us solve this puzzle?

Poecile's final Aribeth thread  - which links survived this far is anybody's guess. :P

Character pic sources - unfortunately Aribeth is not among the examples :(

TM5000's source for Aribeth looks good to me :P

You'd need to contact the art folks who worked on NWN to get the actual answer to your question. However, they might be hesitant to say who their inspirations were. As someone else has pointed out above, Bioware made a few other NWN portraits that were far too similar to well known people, and had to remove/revise them in a patch. Unless they actually paid the "model" in question -- which is perhaps unlikely -- we probably will never know.

Heh, whose reality are you refering to? Are you sure you're not confusing it with the average male's <3 dream? 
:P

Hmmm specially looking at your Avatar I will say her face at least looks a lot like Alyssa Milano to me...

Where she is perfect or not is personal really.

Her ears are way to pointy for me. It would probably be too distracting to have any kind of conversation with her.

@Shova ears? You are distracted by the ears? hmmm... I have issues with getting my eyes to look up that far. ;)

yup her ears are way to wonky for me. oh and she is a bit to "poor me" when things don't go her way, Completely too high maintance for any kind of realistic relation. That, and the fact she only exists in a computer game.
