    [​IMG] The default halforc picture is not what I want. The ones I have installed from SP aren't clicking for me. Are there any female halforc portraits out there? Or better male ones? The best I found is the one TKC uses as his avatar here. Nice abs. :cool:

    There are a number of them in NWN, but I don't think anyone's bothered to convert those to the BG format yet.

    How about this?

    Edit: or a male one done by the same guy, here. (Wow, this guy can draw.)

    @ Prine

    Sure can; he seems to have captured the essence of the Forgotten Realms series really well. If he were here, I'd say "congrats of succesfully drawn art."

    I found one while waiting. It's from the Kirith site - Zulecha, the one Silverstar liked. ;) Thanks for the help.

    @Prine - :whoa: Really nice.

    Glad you liked it. IMHO the other portraits are even better, all famous people are converted into cool adventurers, this is by all means my favourite site for portraits! :love: Simply love it!

    Incidentally, the Zulecha port is also the one used for Arienna, a half-orc NPC mod that is also part of a bigger mod called "The Mod for the Wicked", which is designed to replace the starting characters in Irenicus's dungeon with evil characters. I'm not sure if the full mod is done, but the NPC mods are.

    I was also very disappointed with the selection of (Half-)Orc portraits in the game. Didn't like those available over at Kirith's portrait gallery much either. So I looked over at the official Warcraft site, which has some cool wallpapers with orcs. Those WoWorcX portraits over at Kirith's I submitted myself. Found some more in the mean time too, like this one. Some of the fanart over at the World of Warcraft site is pretty good too. Like this one. And those drawings linked by Prine are very good too, I'll definately use those some time.

    Has someone found some good portraits of Dwarves, too? I find Kirith's site equally lacking in those portraits, and the original portraits don't really do it for me either.

    I rather like the look of Warcraft's dwarves, perhaps you could find some portrait-worthy concept art.

    There's hardly anything anywhere about female dwarves. Fanart of bearded women is beyond most people, I imagine.

    Actually on a slight tangent, do female dwarves in AD&D have beards? In BG2, their inventory paperdolls don't, but their avatars do. Anyway, there's a nice picture of a beardless dwarf female in the same gallery I linked earlier.

    These are the sorts of questions that keep me awake at night.

    Hmm, looks like this one is on the RPG Cliche List.
