    Have you looked through nwvault portraits? You may have to resave them as .bmp files as they are .jpeg iirc.

    NWN portrait files have a "blank" area below every portrait, which would require cropping of the portrait - not much less work than making a blackguard portrait from scratch. And they're in Targa format.

    I can make it for you, if someone is nice enough to do the following:

    Load up NWN with SoU installed, go through character creation until the point of portrait selection, click on the Blackguard portrait only once (so that it is largest on screen) and take a screenshot. Send me the screenshot, and I will save the file down as necessary for the BG2 interface.

    I've done this before myself a thousand times, but I no longer have those files saved and I don't want to reinstall Neverwinter Nights just to make someone a portrait. ;)

    Soon as someone PM's me I'll give out my email to them. Once I get the screenshot, it'll take me less than a minute (piece of cake with photoshop).

    @DR:

    Hmm, well I've taken a screenshot and pasted it into Word. Whenever I don't have the picture selected, the colours turn rather luminous (I can't remember the proper term for this).

    What did I do wrong/should I do now?
    And is this likely to be what you are looking for?

    Ok, Decados came through and I made the portrait. I'll make it available for download via my website for one week, then I'll take the link down. After that, send me a PM if you want it.

    [edit - links removed.]

    Enjoy. :)
