Hey everyone, today we’re ranking the character portraits worst to best. Recently, or fairly recently, we got new portraits for the characters, and they’ve proven to be fairly divisive from what I’ve seen within the community. So, let’s rank them.

So many of these feel like theyre weirdly positioned, the survivors have it worse on average though, theyve got a lot of empty space. Cheryl especially bothers me since she looks like she's trying to sidle out of frame. In character, but awkward to look at.
Pyramid Head's new one is better than his old one, given that unless you do something funky with the pose the portraits going to be 3/4th taken up by a rusty metal helmet. It's something that always makes me crack up when I see headshot line-ups of the cast. That one's good for me.
With the Blight, I don't /mind/ the pose he's in now, its Fine, but its SUCH a downgrade from his old portrait. In that, his face is shadowed by the hood, and his only distinct facial features were his glowing eyes and dripping maw. It was so spooky. Yet, almost mournful? Like he's trying to hide the monster he'd become.
Also i think Legion's portrait shouldve been them taking a group selfie.
Artist be like 🧐
8:12 it’s also really cool how it’s pose resembles the fetal position the Xenomorph takes in the Alien 3 poster, tying into the reproductive imagery the Alien symbolizes
I think Freddy krueger and Michael Myers portraits are based off on behind the scenes images from there movies, tho specifically Freddy since that image of Robert englund Freddy in the Freddy make up with the glove up to his face with a creepy look is Iconic, Michael is a bit of a rough one, but I think its supposed to be that one behind the scenes image where Michael is looking from from the top of the stairs with his knife close his face, correct if I'm wrong for Michael but for Freddy 90% that is referenceing a behind the scenes images.
Some of them look really goofy but others r pretty cool. And Sadako is just a mop
I think the Plague I think is supposed to be her looking down on you because she is a priest (or some other reason), but I guess it doesn’t read well because her face is not the visible.
It's just the dbd year book pictures XD that what they remind me of haha
Tbh looking at the old portraits i prefer them over the new ones. Like they're fine on survivors but with killers the new portraits kinda lost their charm.
slingers portrait is terrible
I imagine Trapper in his portrait looks in that direction because when you're selecting characters from the store, trapper's portrait has him looking at the survivor's side.
Wesker: nigga, do you want the method?
If it ain't broke, then don't fix it.
I just imagine the entity like ok everyone picture day. Line and and get those year book quotes ready.
Slinger looks like he just saw the Xenomorph come down from the roof and he's in Aliens.
I just wish Legion's was a bit more dynamic and swapped Frank with whoever you have as your currently selected Legion member, or showed off all 4 members more clearly
Survivor portraits next?
they should’ve commissioned an artist to the portraits, just using the in game 3d models feels like a cheap ps3 game
I'm not a huge fan of the new portraits, but I download different portraits so I don't really care
Omg i was literally waiting for this video
the new Ghostface portrait is making me act up fr
Nah these portraits are ass. A ton of them aren’t even different or are just existing images placed in there. Feels really unnecessary and janky to me
Can you do a chapter background music tier list 🤩.
(or you are already made it🤔)
These all look like yearbook photos
