    @TThales I've been looking for female dwarf and gnome portraits for ages that match the BG style, and they're sorely lacking! I remember seeing some vaguely gnomish portraits here by this artist:

    https://www.deviantart.com/enkida/gallery/33798575/baldur-s-gate-portraits

    Maybe this one?

    I know lots of people aren't keen on portraits based on celebrities, though, and it doesn't really tick all the boxes you're looking for. If you find anything, please share!

    @energisedcamel Thanks for trying! I will look at that link right after this.

    You are correct female gnome portraits lacking is an understatement to say the least. It's not game breaking of course but I would like something remotely close to what I see in my head. I have gotten used to it though, just really bugged me when I started playing again. Some male portraits out there that could be worked with/changed I suppose if I had even a shred of artistic talent but uhh, nope not gonna happen.

    I have seen the one you posted, just doesn't work for me but thanks! Oh, that's supposed to be a "celebrity"? Must just be me, doesn't ring a bell.

    Thanks again for trying!

    @TThales I don't know who the "Celebrity" is either. An awful lot of "celebrities" aren't celebrities at all.

    Turns out it's not a celebrity, just someone someone from a random stock photo. Think I need new glasses! :sweat_smile:

    @TThales Not dual wielding, but here is a gnome wielding a warhammer. It is derived from a halfling, made shorter and the nose was warped to make it broader. Also the shoes were edited so that the feet were no longer halfling feet. A background was also added. I have messaged you but not posted as contrary to site rules since the image that I started with is not my own.

    You are right. Not many gnomish warriors available and the ones there are are nowhere near BG Style.

    Hello all, hope you are well. I was wondering if anyone was taking requests for custom made portraits? I have an idea for a new playthrough and would love a new portrait to match if anyone can help.

    Edit: Scratch that, found some tutorials and wisdom digging back through the forums and have managed to make something to a good enough standard.

    i found mazzy's eye color change to kind of wash out, it seemed too similar to her hair, so i restored it here:7c68sd8r1dro.bmp

    Hello,

    Would it be possible for you to repost the Aerie picture without the insert picture and logo?

    Great, thanks a lot!

    As an aside, does anyone else see a touch of Sharon Stone in this pic?

    Anyone want to play as the Avengers? Here you go! (Portraits unedited/Not BG/IWD ready. I'm not using them so I didn't convert them, but I thought some people might like to have them.)

    Creator's tumblr is Petite-Madame, apparently.

    These are downright amazing. :O Thanks for sharing!

    I came across an excellent image of a female dagger wielding assassin on this thread some time ago. It may have been on a link. She was crouching down and half-naked. I think that she was also a bit muddy. If anyone knows where to find it I would be grateful for the info as I would like to play her in BG. Don't spend a lot of time looking, but if you have the info to hand I would be grateful.

    Spell hold studios mirror is down. I am looking for Enkidas version of Valygar (without) the long braids. Would be great if someone could provide it.

    It doesn't seem to be down right now

    Is this thread still alive? If anyone here is still taking requests, perhaps someone could "Baldurize" this picture? Pretty please :smile:

    You'll have to open these in paint and save as bitmaps. For some reason I can't post bitmaps.

    I found it for myself at last.

    I've been looking for a female blackguard on here and can't find even one. :(

    Here is one that I knocked together, but it would be good if there were more.

    Hi
    I edited this well known elf portrait from bg1 to match more closely the style in bg2
    WOM1AL.png - WOM1BL.png

    And then I tried and made her look "shorter", more like a gnome, because I wanted to play one

    Hi,

    I did some basic colour and lighting adjustments to an old female drow portrait to make my good aligned, mixed race drow/elf Bhaalspawn, and I thought it looked worth posting. I think it's usable as it is, but if anyone with proper editing skills could give it that BG shine, it would be amazing!

    I have never updated Jaheira portrait from BG2 outside replacing it with the BG1 because despite BG2 looking good. They eyes were so annoyingly crossed eyed. Today i decided to look to see if anyone had a good replacement other then me recycle the first game portrait. Then i stumbled upon the NexusMods. Found this portrait and i can't be anymore pleased with it. so from here on in... this will be my BG2 Jaheira.

    I am wanting to make a glowing sword in my portraits. All the instructions that I have found are for Photoshop. However, I only have photoshop elements. Apart from anything else selecting is a lot harder. Is it possible or will I have to buy the full program to do it?

    EDIT

    It clearly CAN be done in the expert section though I haven't worked out how to do it yet. :(

    fext22gfhear.jpg Here it is. It took some finding. When I did find it, it was by accident. A host of similar images too that haven't been highly publicised.

    Here are the characters that I made from what I found. I didn't need to do anything but trim. :)
