Also added a new version with a bit of dramatic fire... being an evil child of Bhaal and so on. Made changes to the eyes so they appear more like Sarevok's glow.
Believe it or not, I'm going to use the fire version for my LAWFUL GOOD mage. He was always a bit of a showoff and also has the glowing eyes in my role play (hey, that's not evil! ), so this portrait fits him perfectly. Bonus points for my sorcerer's color theme already being black with gold trims.
The alannah could pass for a tiefling... Maybe could you add horns to an alt? Maybe someday they will add tieflings and aasimar officially (besides the subraces mods).
Thanks very much guys, I appreciate the comments. I have started to upload my artwork on DeviantArt as well if anybody uses that webpage: http://entropyxii.deviantart.com/ (If I am breaking any rules by posting my Deviant page, let me know dev's and i'll remove it.)
Still working myself up to resizing them into portrait format. They are all different sizes so I will have to clip them down somewhat. Will get around to it soon.
I'm glad you like it @jakaminski - I'm still not entirely happy with the chest piece. I seemed to get considerable mind block when trying to think of an alternative. I'll post the process images up soon!
@Aedan Redone. Made several alterations due to recent advice. Re-sculpted the neck and left shoulder guard to make Aedan look broader and accentuated the cheek bones - hopefully eliminating the previous 'halfling' look. Added finer detailing to the armour, beads, beard and eyes as well as fixing some errors I had made. Added further texturing to the hair. I used various shades of greens, as blue was a stark and obvious contrast given the nature of the portrait. I was hoping to make him look more youthful, but I am unsure its turned out that way.
@EntropyXII, looks fantastic. The only criticism I could give is towards the blurred teeth; they need a little more definition, at least in my opinion.
@Troodon80 -chuckles- the teeth were once defined! I was told to un-define them and make them a less 'edgy' in a bit of advice I got on DeviantArt.
I think they work well in the BG:EE portrait sizes - not tried them in game yet however.
Come to think of it, has anybody tried my portraits in game yet? Do they look alright? believe it or not I haven't yet played BG:EE with any of my portraits (need to re-download and reinstall the game) since my previous computer kind of exploded.

Can be used for any evil class really. Loved drawing Bhaal's symbol.

Edited @alannahsmith for @smeagolheart - Tiefling.
Still.. amazing work!! Please don't stop making awesome portraits!
@Necdilzor - Cheers mate!
Whoops - Accidentally uploaded the blurred version. See corrected version below.

Spent absolutely ages on this one. Started as a hand drawn sketch of a friend of mine - ultimately I am very pleased with this portrait.
I studied the BG2 portraits at great length and even managed to enlist some sagely advice as well.
I don't think I am there yet, but I am definitely not far off I think.
