Fantasy Portrait Mega Pack - 2,048 Characters, 16 Races, 9 Expressions Each

2,048 characters. 18,432 expressions. One art style. Transparent PNG, drop in and ship.

Updated — the fourth expression is now a warm, closed-mouth smile. Same files, same names, same sizes. Already own the pack? Re-download it free.

New — the Enemy Expansion. The people of this world, and now what they fight: 64 monsters in the same nine-expression format, beasts to giants. Sold separately.

Most portrait packs give you twelve faces and leave you stuck the moment your game needs a thirteenth. This one is built for the opposite problem: a game with a lot of people in it.

Sixteen fantasy races. Four social tiers per race. Sixteen roles per tier. Both genders. Every single one drawn in the same gritty 32-bit pixel style, on the same canvas, with the same nine expressions — so the beggar in your opening scene and the dragonborn general in your final act look like they come from the same world. Because they do.

Play the demo — then build on it

Grumblewick is a small town built entirely from this pack, playable in your browser at the top of this page. Sixteen townsfolk, sixteen conversations, and a portrait that changes expression on the line where the mood changes — which is the whole reason the sheets carry nine cells instead of one. Walk with WASD, press E to talk.

It is a starting point, not just a showcase. The complete source ships with the pack — the town, the cast, and the code that slices a 3 × 3 sheet and drives it from a script — so you can see exactly how these portraits get wired into a real game, swap in your own characters, and keep going.

Works in your engine

PortraitDialogue is the dialogue box the demo runs on, packaged separately and ported to three engines. The same design in each: typewriter text with punctuation beats, press to skip a line you have already read, and a portrait that swaps on mood.

• Web — two files, no dependencies, no build step. Every colour is a CSS custom property.
• Godot 4 — one GDScript that builds its own UI. No plugin to enable.
• Unity 6 — one MonoBehaviour, no prefab to wire up. Built-in UI only.

The Godot and Unity versions read moods straight off a 3 × 3 sheet, so you can point them at a pack file and never cut one up. All three ship the same four sample conversations, so you can put them side by side and check the port is honest.

One stop, every portrait your game needs

You will not have to go shopping again mid-project. That is the entire point.

• 16 races — orc, human, elf, dwarf, goblin, undead, halfling, lizardfolk, tiefling, dragonborn, drow, gnoll, minotaur, ogre, gnome, ratfolk
• 4 social tiers per race — Commonfolk, Court & Crown, Warband, Heroes
• 16 roles per tier — the blacksmith, the spymaster, the field surgeon, the necromancer, the court fool, the layabout
• Both genders, drawn as counterparts: same role, same station, same palette
• 9 expressions per character — neutral, shocked, love, happy, sleeping, angry, sad, crying, confused

That is 2,048 distinct characters, each with nine faces. Enough to cast a sprawling RPG, a kingdom management sim, a roguelike with a hundred recruitable units, or a visual novel where nobody has to share a face.

Consistent enough to swap without thinking

Every file is named identically across every race and tier:

<race>/<gender>/<race>_<tier>_<NN>_<role>_<gender>.png

Role numbers are stable. 01 is the same role in every race of that tier. Swap an orc blacksmith for an elf blacksmith by changing one path segment — no code changes, no re-cropping, no re-tuning your dialogue box.

Every sheet, same format

• 1024 × 1024 PNG, true transparent background
• 3 × 3 grid of nine expressions of the same character — each cell 341 × 341
• Row 1: neutral · shocked · love
• Row 2: happy · sleeping · angry
• Row 3: sad · crying · confused
• Slice cell (row, col) at x = col * 341, y = row * 341

Built for dialogue systems. The expressions are the point — you can run a whole conversation off one sheet without loading another file.
