Greetings, first of all, love your mod and the portraits you've added. It really nicely accomplishes stated goal of complimenting and adding to the Stellar Legions mod.

Since you added this little spot for suggestions, allow me to offer some humble ideas for portraits that I'd love to see get added at some point in the future (in rough order of personal priority):

* Highlanders: inspired by the Pictish and Scottish hill-folk and long haired warriors of ancient times, they adorn their bodies in war paint and tattoos as well as wearing tribal braids and tartan plaid, leather armor and Celtic knotwork.

* Khanate: a mixture of Mongolian and/or Turkic steppe nomad tribes. Renowned horse-lords known both for their martial prowess as well as their tolerant and multicultural empires.

* Desert-dwellers: inspired by the desert dwelling folk in Dune and other sci-fi as well as various real world Islamic and middle eastern cultures such as Arabic, Persian, and Turkish. (These last two relatively interchangeable, would prefer to see Khanate but love to see both.)

* Pirate/Sailor: somewhat the aquatic compliment to your cowboy portrait set, a group of either swarthy sailors that look a little rough but are looking to make an honest living or alternately a gang of vicious Space Pirates

* Imperial China: a nice compliment to Stellar Legion's shogunate portrait set, a set depicting the Middle Kingdom in all it's imperial glory with robes and finery as well as peasant rice farmers

* Goblins/goblin-girls: diminutive green greedy fantasy creatures known for living in forests and caves, they have a love of any shiny object as well as a warlike and tribal society

* Racoons: furry scavengers known to be extremely unpicky eaters as well as for stealing anything that isn't nailed down including trash. They build their cities out of the salvage they've collected from over the years and seem to have no concept of actual value, just loving salvage.

* Retrofuturist: based off Fallout universe as well as other retrofuturistic sci-fi and fiction, with styles informed by 1950's classic Americana but advanced analog tech

Obviously it's ultimately up to you, and you don't have to do any or all of these, but once again I'm very impressed by the portraits you've added so far and would love to see any of these

@ZerkerDruid Hey, thanks for the feedback and suggestions, appreciated my guy :)
I really love your ideas and definitly will try to get most of them in the mod eventually - if I find time to work on the mod besides the real life work:))

Right now I m trying to fix some of the earlier portraits in terms of size and graphics. It really bugs me how the portrait sizing in stellaris is a bit buggy. Trying to get all the human related portraits to be the same size - so some dont look like giants ^^.

Some nice ones are also already ready and I just need to port them into the mod. Illuminati Themed Species and Green Ufo Aliens :)

Thanks for taking the time to read and respond to my suggestions, much appreciated.

I'm very much a novice when it comes to modding, but if there's anything I could do to help out, or if you don't mind doing a little teaching so I could take some of the workload off your shoulders, I'm happy to help out if I can

If not, I understand and wish you the best of luck with both your real life affairs as well as your modding efforts, and I will patiently await your future progress

You're welcome :)
Best would be if you check out and read the one discussion in Legions Mod how the portraits are done and look into portrait mods (you need to search for them in the steamapps, workshop folder) how their are built, what files one needs etc.
And then ofc you need to have a programm like paint net, gimp and notepadplus to edit all the different files. With paint net you crop the images right, with gimp you export as dds (gimp has less quality loss than paint net) and with notepadplus you edit the script files. It is hard to explain over text and most of it is explained in the discussion :)

If you have questions along the way after checking out the discussion. You can definitly ask me, but maybe add me for that ^^

suggestion a species based on napoleon's empire?

france thanks you^^

Well if there is Sarnath, than how about Ulther from the Lovecraft Mythos, the place n the dreamlands. Or Kadath? We get an entire dreamquest for that place... as for something a bit less out there... the followers of Holmes. I'd imagine there's a good list of names for all the Sherlock Holmes detective stories, though the drug use and medicinal brandy would either be a thing, I'd think. The Holmes MegaCorp, detecting the truth for centuries!

@ajacksonian sadly probably won't make any new portraits similar to these ones. Only the ones already made but not ported into stellaris will be added, if I find them again in my storage folders somwhere ^^
