Where do people find custom portraits?

revaar

So, in preparation for my first BG:EE run (once it comes out on Mac), I want to find a great custom portrait for my CHARNAME. Where does everyone find their customs?

ALL OVER.
Or, you know, you could look through all the portrait threads on this forum. Or the dropbox. I hear it's got over 1000 custom portraits now. There's getting to be quite a collection of them right here on this site.

@revaar the link to it is on the General forums. It has its own topic. I have it bookmarked so I don't pay attention to which page it's on at any given time

Given that the dimensions on portraits have changed, you might want to consider doing your own too, it's really not a big deal. If you've seen a picture you like, just open it in an editing program (I like Microsoft Paint for this) and crop it to the dimensions you want and resize it to fit the slots. You can also use the program to easily resize any portrait you may download.
I'm a huge fan the TV show Chuck, and I've found a few perfect screen caps so I can make Chuck and/or Sarah my playable characters. Very fun.

Hey, that's my p&p wizard and he is clearly male!



Well... at least an elf.

I just exported the ones from Icewind Dale II. I find most of the stuff people make not fitting with the style of the other portraits.
