Sorry, but those look both nothing like Khalid and its style is like something you make in inZOI rather than something for BG2(EE). While I cannot tell you what to post and what not to post, it's not something I myself would like to see in my game.
Just to make it clear, it's nothing personal, I just find it hard to enjoy the wave of those "beautified" portraits. I think they mostly take away what's unique in BG2 art and Mike Sass' creations.
Any copyright issues you would see here?
To create that portrait I used a face of a model, who uploaded it as a stock image, and while I edited it myself to make it match BG2 style as closely as possibly, I don't think it's exactly the same as what the tool you use does and I have no idea how would the original model feel about this, if that's what you are asking about.
Well, since I created it with ai, there is no such thing as an "original model".
I just didn't know where yours came from an who made it. That's why I'm asking.
So, if you stated that you're the author and your source was under no copyright protection, my question would be, if you are fine with me uploading it for public use?
Otherwise I would keep it for my personal use only.

There is as my portrait is based on someone's face and when you use the tool, it analyzes exactly that. And sure, it was released under Creative Commons license, but it doesn't mean there is no original model. Both mine and yours are based on that someone's facial features.

I'll leave the decision to you. I just wanted my opinion to be known, that's all.
Well, for ai made pictures it's more like they're based on hundreds of different facial features, rather than the features of one specific model or photography. But that's not to be discussed here.
Since you're the author and I'm reading between the lines, that my approach doesn't get your fully approval, I'll keep it for my own usage only.
I am not sure if you are aware of this, but does the mod IEP Extended Banters takes into consideration your mod if it is installed? There are two mods that add banter to original Bioware characters: Banter Pack and IEP Extended Banters and I think Banter Pack got updated to ignore banters relating to Khalid's death if he is installed. Do you know by any chance if IEP Banters were updated at some point? Changelog said nothing
I have no idea. I don't even know if there are banters with characters other than Jaheira that refer to Khalid, but also, there are hundreds of mods and while I do my best to make it all work nicely, there may be minor things like that present.

Okay. Thank you very much. I assume Xan and Coran mods from Kulyok were updated, as I am pretty sure they have banters with Khalid himself? I gotta say, I have a lot of respect for you to undertake a task of creating a mod that difficult. Considering that both Khalid and Dynaheir were killed and many mods may comment on that, if I was a modder those two would be the last companions I would go for, fearing compatibility issues Cheers
Thanks And yes, Crossmod Banter Pack has this additional functionality thanks to CamDawg and modders that agreed to it: if Khalid is installed and, let's say, Xan, then the other mod's line is adjusted so instead of Khalid, Xan says something like "our Harper friend" to match both Khalid and Jaheira (because even with my mod installed, someone may still pick to save Jaheira rather than Khalid).
There may be some stuff that I missed, but at least some parts should work just fine
Erm, ask him or check his profile? I don't think it's the right thread to ask how often he checks BD forums and I don't think anyone but him knows the answer.

I‘ll delete it here and post it in the custom portraits thread instead.

Sorry for the OT and have a nice weekend Lava.
