Looking for BG2 image

Hello,

I'm trying to find a concept/promotional picture for BG2 made by Jason Manley. There were a few pics appearing around the time of release, featuring in magazines but (AFAIK) only showing up in the actual game in bits and pieces. For instance, you could make them out on the game cds, and Bodhi's portrait in the game was taken from a pic by Manley of her squatting on a balustrade in the graveyard. The pic I'm looking for shows a female thief hanging from a rope and brandishing a throwing knife; it was in the background of the PC Gamer review (Swedish edition). I've found all the other pics that I know of in some form or other on the net, but not this one. Does anyone have it or know where it can be found?

Ooooh... I'm pretty sure Ive seen that pic too, and it is a good one. Problem is, I think I saw it in a manual or book, not online. I'll look around for you and see if I can figure out which manual or book it was in, so that you can look for it online with that as a search reference.

*sigh* I've gone through -every- manual and book with artwork that I have and can't find the picture. This is really going to bug me now - grrr. Curses!

Many thanks to you both! Strange though that this particular image doesn't show up for instance in Manley's official webgallery (unlike the Bodhi pic). Maybe there's a better image search tool than Google?

By the way, does that really look like Imoen?

Not to me.
