Portraits of new NPCs in high res?

Syntia13

I'm going nuts here. I'm looking for portraits of Dorn, Neera and Rasaad in high resolution, and I can't find any. The best I could find was this: http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/17u152aggw6zfjpg/xlarge.jpg, and that's only part of the picture. Every other pic I can find is smaller than the required in-game Large Size (210x330). What gives? I could have sworn I've seen them posted in much larger sizes before, but I can't find them again, neither on official BG:EE site, nor on the forum here, nor through google. Was I hallucinating seeing them or what? O_o
Help, please? I got a fever, it's not healthy for me to get frustrated... *pleading puppy eyes*

Does this mean you're going to do your awesome Imoen portrait in hi-res? Pretty please :-)

That Neera 2/3 pictures is awesome. Really captures the uncertainty of wild magic.

Everyone feed @Kurumi Insightfuls they deserve it.

@Oxford_Guy Nah, just needed a big picture of Dorn so that I could turn him into a girl XD

Joking aside, since the source art was lost, the only way to get a high res picture of any of the old NPCs is to upscale them. The results look nice enough - it's not pixelated or anything - but obviously you only get as much detail as you had in the small picture.
This is exactly what I do when I play with portraits - upscale them first, modify to my heart's content, then scale them back down to in-game size.

@Kurumi Thank you again. Any chances you know where to find Rasaad's portrait of size similar to Dorn's and Neera's? The concept art is awesome, but even cropped wouldn't look well as a portrait.

Cool, those leather trousers look really badass. I thought Neera would be wearing some kind of skirt.

Kurumi

Yay.. took me a while, but I finally found Rasaads hq portrait, too.. put him and the other 2 portraits on my lil portraits page.. just click on their "medium"-size portrait and you will be taken to the "hq"-version.

Yeah, I agree.. but I'd love to see her with those trousers with the art-style of the portrait !!!

Calmar

Do you know the artist who painted the new character artworks?

Kurumi

I think it's Nat Jones.. http://www.natjones.com/
