Lawful Evil Halfling - Portrait?

Greetings ladies and gents, I just signed up here as I've noticed this seems like a good site for custom portraits. :) I apologize beforehand if this thread is in the wrong place.

Now to the purpose of the thread; I intend to roll a new char, a Lawful Evil (Male) Halfling Bounty Hunter simply because Halflings makes such awesome thieves (And because Bounty Hunter seems like alot of fun; I've played a Paladin-turned-Fighter/Mage throughout the entire saga, before, and would like to try something different this time)! However, I'm having quite alot of trouble finding a portrait that I'd like. Can a Halfling even BE Lawful? They generally seem so friviolous and care-free. :P

I was thinking I'd call him "Neldoc Shadowfoot", or similar surname... As a Lawful Evil villian I'd like him to look typically arrogant and self-centered. I've been searching and searching and searching... so I figured it might be a good idea to try my luck here. :)

PS NO celeb ports, and must be in "BG-style", i.e. should fit seamlessly with the NPC portraits. :) DS

    Being "Lawful" doesn't necessarily mean one obeys the law (aye, 'Tis complicated!), 'Tis more to do with having a personal code and a sense of honor. Something Halflings aren't really known for... hmm, there is MAZZY ofcourse, though. I guess 'Tis a rare trait amongst them. :)

    Besides, if it was up to me, I wouldn't call a Bounty Hunter a rogue at all, rather a ranger. :)

    I'll have a look, chris, thanks.

    Thank you Quartz. :)

    Very, very, interesting LadyRhian! How did you find these? Google wont really respond very well to my search requests, hmm... I am obviously not that good at searching, my apologies. :)

    I like both the first and 2nd, though I should've mentioned my character will be Male, apologies again. But this is a great start, I'll see what I can do with them... :)

    PS Can't activate the download from that link, Chris. DS

    PPS Also, I'm considering a Human aswell for this char, incase I want to dual class later on - I'm a dual-class freak! Or a half-orc for crazy backstabs (+2 extra hit is really nice for a thief!). I have a Human (and Orc) portrait I really like, so it ultimately comes down to if I can find a really cool Halfling port or not... really juicy to have the Halfling saving throws in addition to the extra thieving skill points and even more points from 19 dex!

    @NocturneN I searched DeviantArt. Sadly, not alot of them are in the BG style. These just came closest and first. Elfwood might be another good place to check out.

    Thank you, @LadyRhian, searching aint my forte so those suggestions are welcome. :)

    I sat yesterday and rolled stats for my halfling for maybe 2 hours (Yes, I know that's alot, but, considering the BG saga is HUGE 'Tis very important to me to have a character I really like playing...and I try to avoid save game editors since they eventually can screw your saves up if used too vividly!) and the best I could get was (detraced and evened out) 16, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15 - total of 91 points. Then I rolled a few times for my Human and got 16, 16, 16, 15, 15, 15 (total 93 points) after but a few tries... I think the universe is trying to tell me something! ;D

    Anyways, here's the contestants, if anyone is curios. :)

    @DarkDogg

    Aye, seen that before, I cropped it and tried it out but didn't like it for some reason, lol. I think his eyes looked messed up because of the re-scaling, too, I'm not that great at editing. Cool portrait, but not quite to my tastes, sadly. :)

    I've more or less settled for the 2nd portrait of @LadyRhian's, I think it screams "Bounty Hunter", eventhough the guy himself doesn't look particularly "lawful"... :P I'm very picky (though I haven't been diagnosed, I've always suspected I have OCD, lol). I just feel 'Tis important to have a character I really like considering how huge the BG saga is. :)

    Here's my lil 'afling. I'm still open for suggestions in case anyone finds something really cool, though, no worries. :)
