(Required) Create portraits with any themes (classes, bosses, regions, etc.). 

 

 

(Required) Submit a post showcasing your portraits on the [Fan Art] forum under Art & Media of the official website with the [Character Portraits] header in the title!


Please read the notes below before working on your piece.

① Portraits must be 624px (width) by 804px (height) BMP image files.
② BMP image files are not supported on official website posts, so please upload PNG files when submitting your post on the forum.
③ Images created with AI are not eligible for participation.

* You may be required to submit the process of your work (images, video) if chosen as a winner and your win may be revoked if you fail to submit evidence of your work.

STEP 1.
Move the BMP image you wish to use to My Documents → Black Desert → FaceTexture

STEP 2.
Change the file names of the images to the existing files you wish to replace. 
(You must either change their name or delete the existing files)
