Class Portrait Contest with Alienware

Oct 2, 2024 (Thu) after maintenance - Oct 24, 2024 (Thu) before maintenance December 31, 2024 (Tue) 23:59 UTC

Adventurers, we believe we underestimated the amount of work this may be. For that reason, we are extending the event until December 31 at 23:59 UTC. We hope that this will relieve some stress and give you extra time to finish up your creations!

Please note that the intention of the event was to create entries that overall encompass each Class, so that our entire community would be able to make use of them after, rather than sharing screenshots of your own in-game Characters.

Adventurers, how tidy is the character grid in your End Game window? Ever thought of making it clean and consistent? Or beautiful and varied? Maybe funny and cute?

We love seeing community-made character portraits, so now's your chance to put in the effort and for a chance to win some amazing prizes provided by Alienware, including the Alienware 32 4K QD-OLED Gaming Monitor - AW3225QF (240 Hz)!

So what are you waiting for? Create a full set of portraits (28 classes) and who knows, perhaps your designs will become all the rage in the community!

Check out this example, created by Adventurer Tansie!

◈ How to participate ◈

Styles of all kinds are allowed: Art, doodles, screenshots, graphic design, pictures of yourself in costumes, etc. Make it your own! Check out the steps below.

Create 28 portraits, one for each class [Required]
└ If you already have self-made portraits, you may also submit these.
└ AI-generated entries will be disqualified. Please provide progress pics if possible.

Submit your entry (all 28 individual images as well as an image of the full character grid) in one thread on the [Event] forums with the title: [Region][Class Portraits] optional title [Required]
└ Example: [EU][Class Portraits] My entry

Image requirements

Every class portrait image must be a BMP image file that is exactly 624px wide and 804px high.

Unfortunately, BMP files cannot be uploaded to the forums, so for this event, a PNG will suffice.

How to apply your custom portraits

1. Go to the FaceTexture folder, usually located in Documents > Black Desert.

2. Find the current portrait of the respective character in the folder and copy its file name. It will be a string of numbers.
└ If you wish to keep the original portrait, simply rename it to something else now.

3. Take the file name you just copied and give it to your new image.
4. Place your new image in the folder.

Done! Your portrait should now appear in-game.
