    @Mirandel Just search DeviantArt for pictures of Jason Momoa and you'll find plenty suitable portraits for BG.

    This one of Jason Momoa as Drogo has a nice "Baldurized" feel.

    All true and I even remember the picture. But that particular look is different from Drogo. So, I brought it here anyway :)

    I know I posted about this already but I really wish someone will help me with this.

    I want to use this custom portrait but only the medium size one appear in game not the small one.

    I want to know if anyone can help with this.

    I post both version of the portrait.

    Try putting these 3 files in your override folder.

    The files have to be bmp files, and in addition the file that you use should be 330 x 210 pixels. These files worked fine for me. Right click on the image and use "save image as." jpegs and png files won't work in BG. They didn't exist when BG was written.

    EDIT
    Delete the huron files that are already in the override folder and restart BG before starting the new game.

    You don't need three of the same image. Just put the HuronL.bmp in portraits and the game will use it as the M and S automatically.

    Thank you @Wise_Grimwald , the portrait work now.

    I'm pleased about that. I normally have 2 images, a large one encompassing all or at least most of the body, and another of just the head. I think that part of your problem was that it was the wrong size. I halved the image size.

    @LordLeviathan This is what I mean about having a large one encompassing all or at least most of the body, and another of just the head. The large image isn't yet finished as the shadows are wrong, but I think you will get the idea of what I mean. However, if the images are not the same, I have to use EEkeeper and change the portraits with that.
    @AstroBryGuy You said:
    The EEs can resize the image, as long as it is no bigger than 1024 pixels wide. See @JuliusBorisov's thread here:
    The portrait of LordLeviathan was 768 pixels wide so can't understand what the problem was, unless it was having a png file in the portrait folder.

    I actually said that they should be in the override folder, I meant the portrait folder. :blush:

    The background comes from here:

    EDIT
    No it doesn't, it comes from here:
    https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/7e/03/a4/7e03a4c2c74c3332d7bf8dd7556c9201.jpg

    The photos are EXCEEDINGLY similar and there are a lot of others that are almost identical.
    This is where Google Image Search falls down.
    Many, many people take photos of that area just because it is so photogenic. I'll probably take some myself next time I am there. That way copyright won't be an issue. :)

    The gnome is from here:

    I shortened him somewhat.

    So... if I were to post screenshot from music video and write "baldurise pls" I won't be breaking any law, right? I don't want SWAT bashing through my door...

    @Wise_Grimwald Touché.
    @nzdawghaus I apologize for my tone. I can't expect everyone to follow all threads (I don't, either).

    I have done a very minor edit of an image of Zu L Zorander.
    Basically I have just given his sleeves green trimming to make him an Authlim of Iyachtu Xvim.
    Image is found here:
    https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=zeddicus+zu'l+zorander+images&espv=2&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiqisXGjvfSAhWbHsAKHSIbAwEQ_AUIBigB&biw=1600&bih=770#imgrc=mgYyM8C_7JSFHM:
    I did a google search, but can't seem to be able to find the author though there are images everywhere.
    How do I find the author? If I joined Pinterest, would I find the information there? Since it's size is 300 x 210, it makes me think that the image might have been made for BG.
