Can I give NPCs portraits with eeKeeper (like Phaere, Firkraag or Hendak)

Hey guys, quick question
When you open a creature with eeKeeper they have a spot for portrait. If I add a portrait there, would:
1. it show up?
2. there be negative side-effects?

Thanks for any insight :)

    good question, when i change portraits on joinable NPCs they're reseted at each level up of the character (same if i alter the number of spell slots on their inventory for example).

    well, that works for me no problem when it comes to joinable NPCs. I just want to add some to notable non-joinable ones like Mae'Var, Faldorn, etc.

    The number of spell things definitely does reset though.

    I don't know if u are aware of this mod...

    But it apparently provides portraits for every single NPC, playable and otherwise, in the entire saga, all in a very consistent style, which is pretty impressive.

    Personally I am pretty tempted... but frankly, I think the stuff Isandir and Nixxi have produced is better, so despite the allure uniformity holds for me (u know, cos I am OCD Lawful), I can't not use Nixxi/Isandir portraits for some of the NPCs, and I think the Willow picture (from Buffy the Vamp Slayer) is pretty much the non-official official portrait for Imoen... so I am gonna have a mish-mash of artists for my next playthrough too.

    The problem with those is that I like the original portraits for most of the joinable NPCs (except Faldorn's which is basically a contingency with horror and spook) so I'm not interested in replacing them, just adding to others. There are a couple of portraits I found (and some that other mods have added in) that don't seem too out of place in my opinion.
