Awesome Video Game Fantasy Art (that you may or may not want to use as BG Portraits)

I've been playing too much Guild Wars 2 recently. Noticed a lot of the art for the game works remarkably well for BG portraits, though.

^Totally using this for my avenger druid I'm going to roll. Doesn't clash with the natural aesthetic of BG2 once you shrink it down it down to size, too.

Would also work pretty well for the same thing. She's decidedly less flower-like than the rest of her race. She actually looks elven.

God I love this image. I wish I knew who NCsoft or Arena Net hired for this stuff because it's awesome.

Anyone else have a game they've been playing recently where they appreciate the art and feel characters in it would serve their BG:EE toon needs?

    nice art style, it really does look like something from baldursgate.

    It's funny all the "main characters" for GW2 look straight out of other fantasy universes. I love it, personally. Didn't know who that artist was, so thanks for that @Khamill. I'll have to look into his stuff.

    Oooooh... Guild Wars 2 is deliciously Icewind-Dalish (no, not THOSE Dalish).
    I guess it could work for BG, too.

    I was just looking for some portraits to give to my 3 characters, and I think I just found my mage.
    Thank you, @sandmanCCL ... also, I like your nickname.
