I've been playing around with KREA. I wanted to stick to video game art because I know the ethics of AI is still a bit controversial, so I've mainly stuck to portraits from Pillars of Eternity. I'll provide the original art for comparison's sake. The AI tends to make men really wrinkled for some reason, so I've been using a simple editor to blur some of the finer lines. I'm no artist, but I've tried my best. I made these mainly thinking of my PCs, which are canonically quite young.

I'll put the rest of the ones I've done so far in a spoiler tag to not take up too much space.

I still have a bunch more to edit and format, if anyone is interested.
Thanks! I'm not sure anything I do with the original portraits will be any better than what's already posted here, but I might give it a go after I've finished the PoE ones
Trying to make a nice Irenicus alternate portrait fitting my other NPC custom portaits:
Original reworked :
Irenicus reworked from the cards game :
Irenicus reworked from Artastrophe pack :
And a Bodhi too :
From Artastrophe pack :
From Minsc and Boo Book of Villainy :
For Illasera, I went with an heavy rework of Artastrophe's one :
Thank you, but I'm not an artist, I just found some adjustments with Krea AI and another upscaling tool allowing to put a "BG portrait" touch, and having higher resolution with more details, so it fits UI like infinity UI which have larger portraits option.
btw., maybe someone should give Kitanna a hint, to take a look in here and grab the new portraits for her mod?
With your consent and proper credits of course.

You should upload them as a portait pack on nexus mods or something.

I tried to upscale it to larger portraits allowed with Infinity UI on the EE games

It always seemed blurry, as if not correctly scaled up from the original Version to enhanced edition Format.
Can you do something about his "evil" Version as well? That one with the dark glowing eyes.
Thanks a lot, well done.
btw, I like your more comic like approach, to not make the portraits too foto-realistic.

If I may make some more requests, how about original Xzar? (I know you did a new one on your own…) and Quayle?
And maybe the old blurry beta Yoshimo, wich I always found more appealing than the one they used later in game.
This one was difficult.
Xzar
Quayle Hands aren't perfect bu weren't either in the original portrait so...
I bet Yoshi was hard. He looks a bit androgyne, I don't know. On first glance I thought you made him a female... ;p
Anyway, well done.
Here is a light alternative :
