Hey everyone!!
I recently asked Mike Sass (the original portrait artist for BG1 & 2) if he would help me credit everyone who posed as models for the original Baldur's Gate portraits. He was very helpful and I was able to compile them all into one image w/ reference photos where publically available.

Until now, this list was only partially cleared up by Trent Oster in a Reddit AMA.

    Interesting. I mean, I don't care about the names, but it's curious to see the original faces behind the portraits. And only noticing now that, yeah, true, some of the portraits do depict the same person.

    I admit I got a good giggle out of "Unnamed Local Sociology Professor". You gotta admit, that TOTALLY gels with the idea of a dim-witted Dwarven Berserker who just wandered in one day muttering "Where's me ale?"
