So what is your character portrait going to be?

xLegionx

edit: If anyone is looking for a portrait online someone posted a really good website with thousands of portraits: http://drakonis.org/

Hey guys! So what portrait do you plan to use as your bg character?

If they do implement the subraces for each race I'm going to be a drow necromancer.

Here's my portrait if I'll be able to implement it into the game!

I think I'm going to use the plate-armed human warrior guy from the original BG1 selection. Aside from the fact that I lack a lantern jaw, it looks a lot like me, and my Blackguard characters are almost always based partially on myself.

Probably this one: http://www.kirith.com/portrait/detail/vault/200506091649-Chfe56L.jpg

Edit, or this one for regular BG: http://www.kirith.com/portrait/detail/vault/200112282024-BG059L.jpg

The girl with the sword covering half her face, most likely

raywind

My half-elf Blade looks like this allways http://kirith.com/portrait/detail/?portrait=1528

These kirith.com links you keep using, I don't think they work like you think they work.

Shin

Not decided on class yet.. monk, mage or thief.

Borrowed from IWD:

SpaceInvader

My sorc will have the one I use here. Based on myself, of course...

Anduine

Without a second thought, I will be using the one in my portrait. It's "classic", and perfectly fitting as the LG/NG Paladin/Fighter leader of my party.

LadyRhian

@Schneidend

Okay, then. Let me try again. This one: http://www.kirith.com/portrait/detail/?portrait=1471

Or this one from the original game: http://www.kirith.com/portrait/detail/?portrait=681 with the original Dark hair.

Yeah! That's the one I'll be using...for my Lawful Evil Blackguard. Mwahahaha!

@LadyRhian
Now it's working. I like the BG1 you linked, and agree that using the original with the darker hair is the best choice.

Cheesebelly

Duhh, it's a bit hard to find it. You know that silly half-elf/halfing/gnome/pointy eared guy with a disgusted smile, a silly hat on his head and a quasi-Lincoln beard? THAT ONE!

Kholdstare

I might use one of the new ones. If not, I'll probably use Xan's.

I can put aside my general dislike of evil long enough to see that this portrait can also be fitting for someone who is or will be "falling from grace", so to speak. Good or not, the character portrait definitely does not look happy.

ajwz

My 2 most commonly used portrais are edwins or xan. For bg:ee, I'll obviously try to pick one of the new ones.

Permidion_Stark

I replace all the NPC portraits in the game with ones from IWD 1 & 2. My player character will, as usual, be a female paladin called Hope, and will look like this:

Atlantic

Eldoth's one- perfect stoner face

This one?

Djimmy

I usually use Cernd's portrait. Now, with the new class revealed, I may choose another.

Cheesebelly

@Permidion_Stark : YES! Thanks for finding it for me! Best portrait in BG1, and it's not even used by anyone!

No problem. You can find all the portraits from the game on this site: http://baldursgate.wikia.com/wiki/Special:NewFiles

Washcloth_Repairman

Not sure, but probably something by Luis Royo.

Looks like a Mage/ thief combo... Or maybe just a thief

mch202

I will probably use this one from Icewind Dale




But since Jason Manley is drawing new protraits for BG:EE ( the same guy who made the IWD portraits ) I will probably wait to see what he come up with first

That particular helm gives me nightmares.

I'm making a set at the moment (thinking of making 6, on number 3 right now). I will probably wait until I'm done with all of them before harassing posting them. If they turn out ok I guess I will use one, but I've always liked Safana's portrait.

O_Bruce

It depends on what new portraits BG:EE will offer us. Besides those, there are two candidates for my human female mage:
