Changelogs
Version 2.3
in this version i just reworked AmyN version of the portrait
1st i cleaned it and improved the hair structure to make it less ragged
next i improved the hairline and general look of AmyS and AmyN
after it was done i worked on the miniatures for the package
Version 2.3 still contain 3 Amy's portraits, but now they are much better
Version 2.2.1
Vortex directory does not recognize needs for a subfolder, so i had to supply it
this also could make manual installation of this mod barely easier :)
Version 2.2
Smilling version of Amy in Small version was missing from 2.1 somehow, i have no idea how it passed the playtest and failed in packaging
must be human error, however its fixed now :)
besides Userport file was edited to only feature one Amy so it will not clutter the records in userport and could be added to other portrait package
idea is since we have portrait shuffler we can switch Amy face at anytime and there is no need to register more "same" faces
on top of all this package became DIET hard, i simply no longer include full HD variants of the image as it save space and people can find big variants on the modpage and discord topic
have a good day
Version 2.1
fixed the bug with reverse shuffler G>S>N>G into N > S > G >N
bug was idk how it works, code was correct in 2.0 and should go +1, changed it to go -1 and started working as i wanted it to
Anyway improved faces for Glasses and Normal Amy because Smilling was looking better than both by a long shot
Added BIG versions of all faces to Shuffler aswell and Synced All faces together
i will explain process of making portraits for this mod:
all the improvements are happening on 2k version of portraits
i take 2k version and resize to 128 and save as big version bmp
next i go back to 2k version and resize it to 64 (better quality) and same as regular version bmp
thats pretty much it :)
Version 2.0
Plans for Portrait Shuffler started around version 1.5
idea was to make program AS FAST AS POSSIBLE to switch Amy faces
sadly i had to code que because you can not have 2 files with same name in windows
work on the program was slightly delayed because of work, gaming and video editing
2.0 is build on 1.6 just adds new fully tested software
You can click Right click + Edit on the program if you are afraid of this or worry i put some insane hacks in my 10 lines of joke program
Entire mod is editable and transparent and can be used for other portrait working in similar fashion
i consider expanding the craft by adding 2 elf portraits that does not look terrible, but they are so heavily AI made and barbie-like it might not be right idea for now
thank you for your time and have a good day
Version 1.6
Shortly after 1.5 update and my best Photoshop skills to make Amy into her true self
Dragsteal cameback with PREMIUM on some AI apps and started his magic
at 1st i wasn't really impressed it was also quite hard to get him to focus on doing good versions of Amy
anyway he bombed with Smiling Amy with properly leveled skin and even makeup....
it was better than anything i could ever done, so i started Cropping background and outlines
Normal version of Amy was much harder, 1st couple of results ware cry-bad or had no spark in eyes
eventually i get something salvageable, but to be fair faces are no longer perfectly interchangeable (ai did few bad touches around noses...)
i still consider it improvement over previous version because its clean without being completely washed out
i used tools to cover outlines, but current state Faces are around 70/75% AI made xD
Version 1.5
Quality update
i improved 2 core amy images in PS and than realized how much better they look
so i proceed to replace all existing Amy images with new better versions
image of Amy portrait should be less jagged and more clean
out layer pixels became filled with the right colors too
What this mod do?
Mod adds 3 new Portraits for the game, Exclusive for Human Female Portraits contain OG Artworks used to make them in 2k resolution - for people who wanna make memes or whatever Portraits Come with Support for BIG version of portrait (game mechanic, used few times) Images comes from HD Edit of Original portrait for Arcanum (64x64 redrawn to 2k format, so its basically new face) and thats pretty much it

Who is Amy
Amy is my Original Character from Arcanum run, naive girl ready to see the world and fight people who have a problem with her
Age 20
Female, Human lady
Escaped Lunatic background
Not very smart and easy to get with wine and compliments
insomniac
good & evil and confrontational
loves animals, but makes racial remarks towards non-human
Bad at technology and magic, but decent theft and vandal
Good, Evil and Confrontational
Amy starts as good and hopeful person Shes rather disliked individual, making any friendship much harder to get eventually she gets tired of complaint with rude strangers and escalate rude behavior into violence While still remaining good Amy is not afraid to stand her ground and even kill if people can't have civil conversation Later in the game Amy finds Legendary sword Amy's Blade
Legend of Amy's Blade
Amy found the Blade in Bedocan Caves during her mission to rescue the elf from Bedokan lizards Sword called her with magic and she adopted it as her new source of power:
sword is indestructible
cost -30 karma to swing once
lowers reactions of people to user
cost karma to have sword equiped
Cast evil spells on target
Amy resonated with the sword, because she also was looked down by people and was also indestructible
What destruction of the blade do to Amy?
nothing, by the time when story needs you to destroy the sword, Amy already is strong enough
Canonically Amy don't destroy the blade
Canon Amy Build
Tank-Magic-Knight archetype Sword, Shield and Bow All-Father Blessing and mythic robe or whatever magic robe with all resistances Pickpocket 4, persuasion 8, melee 8, dodge 8 Speedy boots
