I personally wouldn't mind if I posted an image online, and someone used it in his or her game. Just don't run around calling it your own work, and I don't care what you use it for.
Well, don't use it for that *ewwwww*
Anyway, I don't think any artist is going to mind if you use their work for your BG char
Check out this artist: http://enkida.deviantart.com/gallery/33798575 Some of the portraits are just recolors, or with-fancy-hair originals, and of course, baldurize celebrities, but some of them made my jaw drop and my mouse to automatically go to File/save. (I'm now tinkering with three of them in GIMP, trying to merge them into a brand new pic of my fav PC )

and I am tempted to use it for my next mage. Not only is it cool, but it is based of Benedict Cumberbatch, who I think is amazing
That 'Dove of War' guy is awesome.

You can find some good portraits from these sites too but the pocketplane list is a bit oldish so some of the links aren't working anymore.
Wonderful sites i'd never seen kirith before

And for those who, like me, liked BG2 art style better than BG1, some awesome guy did this: http://www.shsforums.net/topic/20562-so-you-want-bg1-portraits-done-in-the-bg2-style-eh/
Some of those are kind of 'meh', and some are... weird, but most are just what I wanted to see.
