- While working on the rest of the hero classes, I put together a video showing in 10x speed the whole process, featuring Shiva. The closed captions contain some information and thoughts during the process. Leave a comment if you have any questions and I'll try to get back to you sooner or later.

This is what I call the first iteration. It usually takes around 1-2 hours. Then I keep digesting the end result for a while and re-visit the image later to improve on details and bring it closer to the original. On the second iteration I typically spend around 0.5-1 hours to work on the details. Shiva here could definitely use some work work on her eyes and mouth.
The biggest criticism so far has revolved around the heroes' faces changing too much. And it's definitely the biggest challenge when working with AI plus the two transformations from low-res to HD to back low-res.
please please please hook up with the HoMM3 HotA community if you're not already. I would be ecstatic to see this integrated into the HD launcher
Still thats great work really. I cant wait to see them all!
Когда мне было 7 лет, я впервые познакомился с данной игрой. У нас с братом был старенький компьтер с установленой операционной системой Windows 98. Это был далёкий 2002 год.
И вот мне почти 30 лет. И я в свои 7, даже и думать не смел, что когда-нибудь увижу портреты любимых героев в таком качестве. Я благодарен автору за столь кропотливую работу и желаю большого процветания, кучу лайков и целую армию подписчиков.
Однозначно лайк, подписка, колокольчик.
I had no idea you were doing this huge amount of manual work! I am very impressed - well done!
I've watched what you have posted so far, and I think that you do your best with the portraits that are humane somehow but not quite of humans.
I suppose it comes from a subjective impression.
In humans, every little detail you add or change is just so visible to the naked eye and impacts the general picture heavily. In all those fishes, lizards, bulls and dogs, I see changes but don't percieve them as "faces" anyway.
And somehow those two types of heroes merge in your green orcs and red demons. At the same time, they look closest to their originals and so fresh and up-to-date.
Please, keep doing what you're doing 👍
I just hope such creative minds make the moment, when the HoMM3 gets it's earned remaster, closer each day ❤
It got a HD edition that nobody plays because it doesn't have the expansions. I don't think Ubisoft is gonna invest in an actual remaster.
Amazing artwork! Congrats 👏
Awesome job, I'm eagerly waiting for more :)
Perfect! I love how she looks ‘lived’
Amazing channel!😍
This is so cool, are you going to be doing more portraits? Would love to see Necromancers, Witches, and Wizards!
I'm working on them, slowly but steadily 🐢
Dam it is wonderful!!! Keep going pls! 😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩
Masterpiece!
Shyva is my favourite hero
Niesamowite ❤
I really like what you doing man :)
Any chance this portraits will be in era mod somehow?
Haven't looked into mod platforms really, maybe at some later date. But anyone is free to make a mod out of this or incorporate the images in other mods.
How amazing. I'm waiting for my Christian.
Waiting for necromancers!
Just do what you do man. Waiting for Orrin - game's best hero.
Please tell us you have a plan to upscale the whole game - sprites as well... 😶🌫
Make more like this plz
Hi, I was wondering since you are the author of these awesome portraits, can I use these in a dungeon crawler game that I am making?
I don't have any objections. But Ubisoft lawyers may, since these characters are still homm3 intellectual property. I'd recommend instead looking into AI generation tools and making your own portraits. Good luck with your game!
Some portraits do not want to be replaced. For example Galtran, Monere. Game version: HotA 1.7.1. The same problem on version HotA 1.6. Does anyone have the same problem and did you solve it?
I haven't tested these yet with HotA. Probably will look into it at some point.
I genuinly thought you're making it with AI... i am sorry. my sincere apologies. Thank you for making it with original, * hand-made* approach
It's a combination of AI and traditional method
Can we change in game portraits with these?
The portraits are available here, with instructions on how to add the to the game:

@@LiquidValor Thank you good sir
The girls got too glamour and too nice. Lips form gets always different.
Is it possible to upscale not remastered version?
So that if you downscale back it in any graphical editor you shall get the (almost) original?
That would be very nice!
That would be an HD version then. I'm not aware of such a tool that could do it credibly. A channel called CyberHeroMM3 does AI upscaling + AI face restoration, which is probably the best automated HD upscaling method to date that doesn't alter the original.
