Yes... but problem is right now I don't even know where the override folder of the game is, nor where all the old portraits are tbh. I know where to put custom avatars if nothing else
you dont need to do anything with the "old portraits" just name them appropriately (link i supplied) then drop them into the "override" folder in your Baldurs gate folder. If its not there, make it. Then just drop the new pictures in. Needs to be very specific sizes, bit depths and names.
I have done a lot of searching for a praying knight to use as a paladin. Not looking for anything bright colored. Something with a feel or mood similar to the original BG. But nothing hits be as being just right. Did find one that may be close.
@Syntia13 - Did you happen to size any of these for BG:EE? I was going to try to crop and size, but figured I'd let the PRO do it. I'm about as artistic as a five year old with a pair of scissors...
@TiaxRulesAll I hope you don't mind I loved your Olivia Wilde/Jaheira, but I thought it needed just a little tweaking. So I made my own version. If you don't like it, please let me know and I can take it down.

Heh, of course you don't have to take it down. Thats the best part of this for me, everybody adding thier own styles and variations. and coming up with some really cool stuff.
I like the changes. My main pc is down, needs new vid card. Getting a new gtx680 soon and will be photoshopping more again. I'm kinda stalled now. Been meaning to touch up alot of work.
@sepotter ..(imoen pic).. well, not yet. I'd like to soon.
Finding the 'perfect' portrait for CHARNAME can be a right pain in the bunions. I usually end up trying to make my own portraits, but it always feels like something is lacking compared to the originals. Everything is too cartoony, too bland, too colourful, too blurry, not enough highlights, too many highlights, background is wrong, armour is wrong, we're all doomed, etc.
Here's one I finished today for my bard. And by finished I mean was fed up with. Close enough, and most of the time I'll only be seeing the smallest version when I play.
Great job guys! I drool with anticipation looking for updates to this thread every day! Still want to see what you guys can do for Shar-Teel, Tiax, Xzar and Montaron.
@mibbles That's a nice portrait. I know it's for your CHARNAME, but when I look at it I see an excellent alternate portrait for Nalia. Could I use it for this purpose the next time I play BG2?

Not pushing this guys site, but the pic of the kneeling knight is pretty good.
Also, if I don't have the formatting down please forgive me.

None of the artwork is done by me, I have just sized and cut images I have found to fit the new portrait sizes for BG:EE
What about using http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Exar_Kun
That could work... no way to tell the jedi\sith apart from a mage ?
To swap NPC portraits, simply name them e.g XanL, XanM and XanS and put them in your portraits folder.
