Custom Portrait Help

I require a Custom Portrait for my CN Dragon Disciple.
The Original Portrait I used is Edwin's Portrait from Vanilla BG1, because that is the closest to how is probably looks, as he wears Orange-Ish and Reddish Clothing, but feel free to change that robe color, as I can easily change it myself.
Notes
1. Zaram is vibrant, and usually likes to think positive (usually) so don't give him any dull colors if you decide to change the colors he wears.
2. Despite the Fact that Zaram is trigger happy with his breath weapon ability, I'd prefer him not to be breathing fire in his portrait.
3. Zaram is fairly arrogant, so a smirk would be really nice :)
4. Zaram is pretty greedy too, but Gold in the mix. Anyway you like, surprise me.
5. Zaram's Familiar (A Cat) on his shoulder is Mandatory. Because that's just cute :P

If you can give me some instruction as to how to install this picture as well, that would be very kind of you

    just younger?

    While that is really fun and all it's just a waste of forum space :p

    This is my conjurer and sounds like he matches most of your criterias if the flashy magic in enough color. If not maybe someone can fix that for you? I'm just proficient in paint :/

    I have a ton of ones that you might like but none of them have a cat in them. that cuts out like 99% of possible portraits out there. I'll post them anyways if you want.

    I know this wont' really help the OP since he wants a male portrait, but I love this female portrait taken from @LadyRhian 's "too many pictures" thread. I've included a crop to BG:EE size below the big original.

    I'm also interested in more male mages with cats pictures.

    I like this one, I really do.
    Can someone give me instructions on how to upload this?

    Remembered that I usually mirror the image so it faces the characters and I could do that as well if you want but here they are(not mirrored). Hopefully they are about the right proportional size and won't look stretched :p

    +Also cut the part with the signature, kind of breaks immersion!

    @DJ_Sweatz_2013‌ , oooh, it's for a Let's Play? I'll be wanting to check that out. Do let us know when it's uploaded, will you?

    Meanwhile, is there any chance we could keep this thread going with more mage-with-cat pics? I'd love to have some more. :)

    EDIT: I like this portrait enough that I attempted a crop that includes the cat. The problem is that in the small portrait that the game makes, you can't really see the guy's face, though you can see the cat and the spell book well. Also, the colors and shading are so dark, it will be hard to see the level of injury when wounding happens. Also, it's much darker than other npc portraits. Some expertise with photo retouching might solve some of the problems, though.

    @belgarathMTH Thanks, but the one posted before worked out.
    Here is a link to my playlist which is currently in Chapter 3 of BG1. Enjoy

    Warning: My Channel has some language and Jokes not suited for children. I'm posting this in case you are offended by that, I don't like offending my viewers, so please don't watch it if you are.

    Videos with the new portrait should be uploaded on Sunday if all goes well, although with school coming up, pretty soon my videos will be much less frequent (after Aug. 19th)
