Thanks a lot for your spiritual support!

Version 7_27 portraits w/NPCs is ready.

I think I have found means to balance and improve it further. Ver. 6_24 was a good start. But many problems remained.
Now, in 7_27 some more balanced solutions are found.

As one may guess I had to deal also with some "old" problems which were even in EoB-1 portrait versions, which were meant for small screens and EGA and even CGA compatibility mode.

So, some pictures were (even in EoB-1) too blocky...
In VGA-only EoB-3, this is obsolete. So I dealt with it, smoothing things up, very delicately.

The final 7_27 version of "Dark Girls" is an example of it:

*

The last portrait to conquer was the Blue Mage... He was OK in EoB-1

but terribly disfigured (plus some red nose) in EoB-III:

now it is fixed:

*

Perhaps all portraits now have even smaller details fixed OK.

Congratulations, as it was a long way
