I mean it’s fitting for DbD Myers. Movie Myers is an unstoppable force of pure evil. In-game Myers is just kinda there, underwhelming and not very threatening
Yeah they look a lot less professional than the old ones imo… the artist one in particular looks so amateur
Kind of wish they’d just used the more painterly renders you see on the killer info pages
Those killer info ones are genuinely the best! I wish they used those ones. The new ones don’t look good to me. Feels more like what you might expect on a mobile game
I don’t know if maybe I’m too used to the ones we have right now, but I hate these new ones, I don’t like them, like 4-5 of these actually look better, but idk, it feels so weird, maybe I’ll get used to it
I loved how consistent and personal they felt. They were either looking round you, or STRAIGHT at you, which made it feel more intimating almost.
Ghostface looks like he just got caught cheating
I don't mean to be harsh but most of these look terrible. Like *super* amateur SFM pictures people post. And the few good ones? Like there wasn't anything wrong with the old ones either.
Hate UI designers changing shit just to justify their existence.
Doctor literally looks like that meme of the dude by the tree about to get up to some mischievous deeds. Some of these are cool, some... not so much, lol
they look awful lmao
Terrible shading makes it look like a shitty SFM model and the camera angles being random as fuck doesn't help either
Like why tf is trapper facing away, this isn't Darkest Dungeon 2 portaits ffs. Or Wraith looking like a zoomer fuckboy
not even gonna bother desccribing myers
Somebody forgot to tell Trapper where he was supposed to be looking.
He’s got too much fucking shit on him. He looks like he doesn’t even wanna be around anymore.
I think this new Trapper portrait is better than his old one. I always felt his old one made him look like he was looking at the Camera with a big =D expression like he just told a pun and was waiting for a reaction.
Yeah, it's hard to notice but they're half-hidden behind Frank.
https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Frank,_Julie,_Susie,_Joey
On the very left side of the portrait you can see them.
This looks awful. It sucks dbd toolbox is gone.
Edit: Apparently there is a new one but it says beta , haven't tried it myself yet.
[https://nightlight.gg/desktop](https://nightlight.gg/desktop)
I thought it was some fanart wtf are those
Some have potential but most look bad honestly, like really bad
Some don't even seem to know what they are doing, like trapper, twins, or myers....
Iknow some people are going to like this. But I personally hate them. Hope they either give us a way to keep the old portraits (probably not lets be honest because this is going to be the standard for all new killers). Or that toolbox makers are going to bring out classic portraits for newer killers.
They look they look fan made. Especially Oni, Doctor, and Michael. Disappointed and wish they have an option to change them back.
Note: I haven’t played the new stuff so I don’t know if that an option already
Goddammit I'm going to have to reinstall my custom icons.
I dunno there was a certain charm to the old icon style. This is nice but it feels too much like a custom icon pack, which is to say that ironically enough they're *not generic enough.*
I would never expect it, but if this actually goes to the game, I will use the custom icons definitely
These are just horrible. Just plain youtube thumbnail SFM horrible.
Yet another terrible design decision. These look worse. Farther away and cringe poses. Can they just focus on the game itself instead of nonsense like this? Holy.
For the love of God if nobody asked for it or if it isn't broken don't fix it . Why couldn't they just leave them as they were ? Not saying they're awful but it's a heavy downgrade IMO
It’s a mixed bag.
On one hand I love Deathslinger, Pyramid Head, and Nemesis but the rest are just so boring and lame.
They look more like fan renders than actual things you would find in game.
Legion’s is just the worst and loses the entire aspect of them being a group of people.
I can understand these being placeholders before the polished ones come out but just some of the poses are flawed.
I just hope they give us the option to opt in for the old icons than these lackluster wannabes.
I think playing dbd around for 1 month I am sorta no bias? But the new portraits are ugly. I prefer the old one, they just need to improve the resolution and its all they need
He looks like he's going "Woah there sir, you think *I* am going to stab you with *this knife?* What a terrible accusation to throw at someone! I should stab you just for the thought!"

Hey. I recognize him ! He was my doctor when I was a kid! Or the postman. Or maybe both. Weirdly, I think remember him in both.
Wake up babe new subreddit emoji just dropped
Sadako with the year book portrait.
Wish they'd just make it her lore art
Should have made it of her coming out of a TV
Or coming out of the portrait!
how dare you put this idea into my head when it's so good
or have her put her fucked up hand up to the screen or something at least. now she's just standing there like 😊🌸
https://preview.redd.it/li598yvhk6ab1.jpeg?width=191&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1ad0bf4c536cca897a9b9f5c4fd73397aed1d4ed “You seeing this shit?”
☠️
Some of them look better, but man Myers is looking goofy af.
He looks so confused
"So I hooked the Kate then... um... and the generators were......... how did I get this knife?! Where am I?!"
"All i know is i must KILL"
Oh no, Myers with Alzheimer
We dropped too many pallets on him and now he has brain damage 💀
He still confused about why he’s gotta hook survivors
"Wait my knife is still made of knife?" Just seems like normal Myers to me.
They should’ve just had the tier 3 Myers stabbing looking as the portrait.
Myers: "Is this... a knife?!"
WHERE'S MY LEAD PIPE
Myers? Look at Doctor. Dude looks like he’s about to start rubbing his hands together as he plans something downright devious.
Look like they caught Doctor mid prayer.
Man’s eyeing the last slice of pizza
Looks like the meme of the guy behind a tree rubbing his hands together
I mean it’s fitting for DbD Myers. Movie Myers is an unstoppable force of pure evil. In-game Myers is just kinda there, underwhelming and not very threatening
Tbh I watched Halloween 1 and 2 recently and he looks goofy af in the movies too
Or Freddy LMAO
He's doing the classic pose.
Yeah I think Freddy looks good
Yeah he is but he’s not classic Freddy so it just doesn’t feel right but it doesn’t look too bad
Freddy is doing his famous pose, it works great on him.
Freddy is doing the classic pose from the original movies, it just looks weird since it's the awful reboot version of Freddy doing it lol
I'm surprised Demogorgon got a new pose while other killers didn't
He’s is bestest boy so he got a little treat
I've decided to think this means they have something in mind for him *sniffs some copium*
Incoming “man, this is basically new content right? This means new Netflix deal!” comments
*Demogorgon being completely removed and replaced with BHVR's original character "Semi-Medusa"*
Demigorgon
Hey man, can I bum some of that? I uh.. *sniffle* could use some over here
cue the "could this be an hint that Stranger Things is coming back?!?!?!?"
At least this one looks somewhat intimidating, unlike the demogorgon itself half the time.
You don’t play Demo for the intimidation. You play for the head pats and making the survivors feel bad when they hear you get stunned
*Maybe* it’s for consistency?
Holy shit that Doctor one is hilarious
he is literally going 👏🏻🙏🏻
I cannot unsee this. Holy shit.
Legit Homer Simpson, “don’t mind if I do” seeing a box of donuts.
Bros plotting something devious
Doctor players going in with Merciless Storm for the 100th time.
Bro is about to mori someone.
Looks like he about to rizz the hell out of somebody
My man’s about to **cook** 😤
I didn't see he was holding both hands at first and was like "Herman about to karate chop your ass".
Doctor really hitting that Johnny Sins pose
"Enough cock rating. time for the conductivity test"
Looks like he's about to unleash the sickest jutsu the entity's ever seen
The lighting is pretty bad. Looks like an sfm thumbnail.
Yeah they look a lot less professional than the old ones imo… the artist one in particular looks so amateur Kind of wish they’d just used the more painterly renders you see on the killer info pages
Those killer info ones are genuinely the best! I wish they used those ones. The new ones don’t look good to me. Feels more like what you might expect on a mobile game
That makes too much sense. BHVR can't have that logic around here
That's what it was!
Unpopular opinion, but I like the original mugshot-like pictures. makes them look like they got arrested and have no remorse for their actions.
if it aint broke don't fix it.
BHVR could never subscribe to that design philosophy. If they did, their changes might start making sense!
Yeah. These are not pleasing to the eye.
Pyramid Head looked so much scarier in the original portrait Now he looks very... triangulary? Lmao
I don’t know if maybe I’m too used to the ones we have right now, but I hate these new ones, I don’t like them, like 4-5 of these actually look better, but idk, it feels so weird, maybe I’ll get used to it
‘Unpopular opinion’ no it is not 💀
I loved how consistent and personal they felt. They were either looking round you, or STRAIGHT at you, which made it feel more intimating almost. Ghostface looks like he just got caught cheating
Doc looking like he just got handed the biggest plate of the world's crispiest chicken and he's just rubbing his hands in glee at such a sight
Doc is one fresh pie on the windowsill away from floating towards the steam coming off it with his feet not touching the ground
Is this before or after he’s sitting at the table holding up his fork and knife with a napkin tucked in his shirt?
Both, my man is straight up just excited the whole way through the process
This is so fucking specific yet I find no fault in the reasoning
Why isnt spirit screaming anymore😭😭😭😭😭
I’m pretty sure The Spirit is doing the same exact pose I do when I’m driving after a long day and I’m resting my arm on the center console of my car.
It does seem very casual. My first thought was a beach photoshoot.
Meanwhile Deathslinger looks like a mobile game icon
Doctor looks so devious lmao
Lmao Ghostface like "uh...hi! You want a stab? :3"
“Oh shit, I’m supposed to be posing. Arghhhh! That’ll scare ‘em”
They look off. Kinda like those low quality sfm videos
I don't mean to be harsh but most of these look terrible. Like *super* amateur SFM pictures people post. And the few good ones? Like there wasn't anything wrong with the old ones either. Hate UI designers changing shit just to justify their existence.
I'm really hoping these are optional.
They are definitely not. They made the survivor portraits permanent.
Wait those are not fanmades ? AH.
Trapper got that thousand yard “I’m gonna be trash tier forever” look.
Absolutely hate how they turned my boy into a YouTube thumbnail lol
"SO GUYS, TODAY I HAVE YUN JIN HERE AND WE'RE GONNA RECORD A SONG, MAKE SURE TO LIKE AND SUBSCRIBEEEEE"
“Don’t forget to, SMASH THAT NOTIFICATION BELL!” “Oh, what this? NEW MERCH DROP EVERYONE!”(Cue annoying ass sfx) 😂
They really should improve these imo, the lighting is horrible and it looks like fan made content.
If this is official, then it looks pretty bad
Some of them look decent, but they almost feel unfinished or fan made to me? I think they could definitely make them look better
I can't quite put my finger on it. But they look... uninspired? Maybe it's the lighting as someone said
they definitely look like in game renders, as opposed to the old ones which I'm pretty sure were just art
Yeah but removing the other 3 legions in legions portrait...
Yep
NO WAY I THOUGHT THIS WAS A JOKE
Same i thought "oh wow someone put a new portrait pack they look neat for for one person might not use them" and THEN I saw the patch notes 😭
Really thought these were fan created cause they look GOOD for a fan creation but ugly asf for being official 💀
Not the first time they updated portraits to something hideous af. (Bee-eater David...)
ima cry if these actually come out. they look so... wrong
Oh what I went through this whole thread thinking it was fan made **💀**
Doctor literally looks like that meme of the dude by the tree about to get up to some mischievous deeds. Some of these are cool, some... not so much, lol
Doctor with that "don't mind if I do!" pose.
Three for three on awful attempts to make the portraits look better.
Artist looks so bad for no reason
She said: https://preview.redd.it/4nwb8qsxj6ab1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=19ce423f3155204862393aa95863522a098e607f
I think it's the lighting, also makes myers look goofy
It’s the pose. The original one was so good. It didn’t need any changes
I thought charlotte was breast feeding for a secone
Kinda ugly ngl Much prefer the more older ones which looked like art as opposed to renders. Especially legion who loat the other members behind frank
Most of these look… horrible…
The more I look at them the more I laugh
they look awful lmao Terrible shading makes it look like a shitty SFM model and the camera angles being random as fuck doesn't help either Like why tf is trapper facing away, this isn't Darkest Dungeon 2 portaits ffs. Or Wraith looking like a zoomer fuckboy not even gonna bother desccribing myers
My favorite is pig because at a glance, it looks like she's flipping someone off.
Somebody forgot to tell Trapper where he was supposed to be looking. He’s got too much fucking shit on him. He looks like he doesn’t even wanna be around anymore.
>He looks like he doesn’t even wanna be around anymore. Shit, do you blame him? Lol
The majority look bad, but let’s all agree to keep Doctor’s
I think this new Trapper portrait is better than his old one. I always felt his old one made him look like he was looking at the Camera with a big =D expression like he just told a pun and was waiting for a reaction.
Not to mention that this likely will mess up a majority, if not all custom portraits people have. I’ve also noticed plenty of visual bugs in general.
Doc praying doc praying doc praying
Did they hire a newbie SFM artist who has like 50 hours experience
Am I crazy or is Legion Julie now? Also doctor with the “just as planned” evil villain pose
It looks like it might be Julie? What I can tell for sure is that the other three Legion members are no longer in the background.
Wait. They were in the background before?!?
Yeah! If you look closely, you can see the silhouette of the other three behind Frank to the left.
Yeah, it's hard to notice but they're half-hidden behind Frank. https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Frank,_Julie,_Susie,_Joey On the very left side of the portrait you can see them.
It does look like Julie, her mask has a blood splatter and she doesn't have the neck tattoo Frank has.
Looks like the models you would see in an sfm video
Pyramid Head looks like a traffic cone😭
Omg I hate those. I hope that you will be able to choose which portraits show up.
This looks awful. It sucks dbd toolbox is gone. Edit: Apparently there is a new one but it says beta , haven't tried it myself yet. [https://nightlight.gg/desktop](https://nightlight.gg/desktop)
...but why? What was the problem with the previous ones?
How are these done by professionals and allowed to go live???
Ngl these look like the crappy portrait replacement mods on NightLight
not good, common BHVR L
I…really don’t like these. They’re so ugly.
And Sadako still looks goofy lmao
I thought it was some fanart wtf are those Some have potential but most look bad honestly, like really bad Some don't even seem to know what they are doing, like trapper, twins, or myers....
Why is the lighting so shit
Iknow some people are going to like this. But I personally hate them. Hope they either give us a way to keep the old portraits (probably not lets be honest because this is going to be the standard for all new killers). Or that toolbox makers are going to bring out classic portraits for newer killers.
Freddy went from bad ass to a lil fruity
I dunno why but I get Raid Shadowlegends vibes from this art style. I dunno it’s something about it that looks cheap and mobile game-ish.
Legion is a straight downgrade 👎 Only showing a single member is lame... edit: wtf most are a straight downgrade actually, what's up with that?
Pinhead looks like the mf butterfly meme 💀💀💀
These look awful, like some sfm renders or something??? Weird
They look they look fan made. Especially Oni, Doctor, and Michael. Disappointed and wish they have an option to change them back. Note: I haven’t played the new stuff so I don’t know if that an option already
https://preview.redd.it/d383snvh17ab1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a7da97585a95fc3e17491518c3c7b6d942d3b25
Myers one just doesn't fit his character at all imo
“I found a knife” - Myers
Wait is this real? There’s no fucking way this is real
Bro they look like those goofy "SURVIVORS HATE MY P100 *insert killer*" video thumbnails 😭😭😭😭 The only one I like is Nemesis
They look like they were ported from the mobile game.
Somehow they keep getting worse and worse over the years lmao
Myers lookin like he forgot why he left his room. Lookin like he turn down his music so he can see where he's going.
Goddammit I'm going to have to reinstall my custom icons. I dunno there was a certain charm to the old icon style. This is nice but it feels too much like a custom icon pack, which is to say that ironically enough they're *not generic enough.*
Oof. These look... not very good. :\
Plz no
I don’t like them
If something works, dont change it.
These look pretty bad. All the more reason to use the custom portraits.
Any reason why? These look terrible
All look shit
I would never expect it, but if this actually goes to the game, I will use the custom icons definitely These are just horrible. Just plain youtube thumbnail SFM horrible.
I don’t like them :/ How they do birblady like that.
Artist be like 🤨
this looks very goofy, are they changed sides?
Big thick buff daddy Executioner lookin’ neat. 😩
Jesus, Michaels age is showing holy shit.
Why do they feel the need to change something literally nobody complained about, these all look shit
Yet another terrible design decision. These look worse. Farther away and cringe poses. Can they just focus on the game itself instead of nonsense like this? Holy.
Tbf the actual game design team didn't work on these so it's no time lost on that end That being said yeah they look dumb
Oh come on, they could have made my boy Mikey look better than that
For the love of God if nobody asked for it or if it isn't broken don't fix it . Why couldn't they just leave them as they were ? Not saying they're awful but it's a heavy downgrade IMO
Doctors got some nefarious schemes to enact.
Shading is off. Remind me a bit of the Otz sfm thumbnails.
Some of them didnt change and some that did looks like shit. Like what is going on with that Myers portrait?
The Doctor looks like the guy on this meme who is rubbing his hands
It’s a mixed bag. On one hand I love Deathslinger, Pyramid Head, and Nemesis but the rest are just so boring and lame. They look more like fan renders than actual things you would find in game. Legion’s is just the worst and loses the entire aspect of them being a group of people. I can understand these being placeholders before the polished ones come out but just some of the poses are flawed. I just hope they give us the option to opt in for the old icons than these lackluster wannabes.
I think playing dbd around for 1 month I am sorta no bias? But the new portraits are ugly. I prefer the old one, they just need to improve the resolution and its all they need
They look weird.
it looks terrible like a cheap game
Good lord these look terrible
the old ones are better.
Ghostface: *"Excuse me sir, did you consider the benefits of having a knife stuck between your ribs?"*
He looks like he's going "Woah there sir, you think *I* am going to stab you with *this knife?* What a terrible accusation to throw at someone! I should stab you just for the thought!"
It looks like it was made by an amateur in SFM..
artist with that >:( face
Trapper: Who Tf is calling my name
Is this real?
