Wow, thanks a lot, i will try to add them later . Do you know what's happening with arta? I still hope he will one day make portraits for those 3 SoD NPCs, but his devianart account seems dead.
Last I heard from her was back in October 2016, when she was working on some portraits for me.
Here are sketches of the portraits she was working on when she vanished:
I have tried contacting her but never gotten any response back. I really hope everything is alright with her. It's possible that she just got tired or bored of making fantasy portraits and wanted to do something else instead.
@Etamin First of all, thank you for your great mod. I fell in love with Artastrophe's portraits and decided to use them for my most recent BG2EE run (and most likely for all following ones!). I'm not very far yet but something I've noticed is Irenicus during the dream sequences has the "regular" portrait. I would assume this is not a bug as someone would probably have noticed.
Could there be something wrong with my install? (BWS with UB, almateria RP, Ascension, Refinements, SCS, Imoen romance and your mod obviously)
Is there something I can fix manually, eg using the override folder?
Probably the game uses a different Irenicus for the dream sequence and the mod's code is not targeting it. A very comprehensible oversight.
Edit: those portrait are cannon to me.
Actually, it's simpler than that. The mod copies Artastrophe's Irenicus portrait for njonl.bmp and njonm.bmp but not njons.bmp (note the lack of a line copying njons.bmp in the code below).
I think that spending money in those portraits is better than spending money on Beamdog's official portrait packs.
Can someone explain to me how this "order a commission" thing works?
The problem is Arta doesn't show signs of life. I wrote to her few times and she responded only once - in april 2016. Her deviantart account is inactive since that time. So either something happend to her (hope not) or she just decided to do something else without saying goodbye. You can try contact her at deviantart: https://www.deviantart.com/artastrophe
How do you uninstall this mod? I didn't realize it would straight up remove the default portraits from the game, but there doesn't seem to be a way to restore. The post says to run a "PaintBG.exe" but there's no such exe in the artaport file.
Try running "setup-artaport.exe". If it doesn't have "uninstall" option then you will have to 'Verify Game'. Click the 'Options' button and select 'Verify Game'. This process will check your game files and let you know if it detects any changes to your game. If it does, allow it to restore your game to a clean state. It will restore game to default settings (and remove ALL mods).

COPY ~artaport\main\njanl.bmp~ ~override\njanl.bmp~ COPY ~artaport\main\njanm.bmp~ ~override\njanm.bmp~ COPY ~artaport\main\njans.bmp~ ~override\njans.bmp~ COPY ~artaport\main\njonl.bmp~ ~override\njonl.bmp~ COPY ~artaport\main\njonm.bmp~ ~override\njonm.bmp~ COPY ~artaport\main\nkeldorl.bmp~ ~override\nkeldorl.bmp~ COPY ~artaport\main\nkeldorm.bmp~ ~override\nkeldorm.bmp~ COPY ~artaport\main\nkeldors.bmp~ ~override\nkeldors.bmp~@Mera - Go into your override folder and make a copy of njonm.bmp. Rename the copy njons.bmp.
Anyway, thank you sir for the very quick and easy workaround!

Downloading the attached zip file gives you access to all four portraits. You'll simply have to resize them and throw them into your override folder.

Yes. It has also the last release.
