About portraits...

Does anyone else have this annoying problem? I donīt seem to find myself the right portrait. I use a ranger (in ID2 ranger/rogue) and I canīt really use female mage portraits. The fighter portraits display uglier women and most of the best portraits Iīve seen have a BLOND woman but Iīm looking for a brunette...like myself. Also brunettes usually have SHORT hair and Iīm looking for a long haired one (just like me...again). Rogue portraits usually have almost naked lilīladies and skirts just donīt fit to a ranger. Still I want the portrait to be "delicate" not some barbaric maculine half woman...Iīve gone through hundreds maybe even THOUSANDS of portraits and Iīve had no luck.

This is a stupid problem but extremely annoying...

I've got just the same problem, and for a person who covers his DnD character sheets with various pictures of his character (I managed to make my gnome sorceror look a lot like Vegata from DBZ , made fantastic pics of my monk, weaponmaster and the whole party, and my DM even asked me to make comic strips of everything which happened during our DnD sessions http://www.gamebanshee.com/forums/im...cons/icon6.gif).

In BGII you could introduce your own pics so I'm hoping that's also possible in IWD II, I'll just scan and photoshop my own drawing.

That's what I often do as well. I have a lot of role-playing books that contain cool pictures in them and if I really like a pic I’ll use my scanner to put it onto my computer and resize it. It’s not that hard to find some cool portraits online either (If you have enough time and a fast enough conection, the NWN toolset editor has a bunch of nice portraits built in).

In ID2 Iīm going to use this pic of a winged white dressed lady who looks a lot like the lady in the pic above. The wings trouble me a little bit but that was the best I could find (and ranger/rogues hardly have skirts...).At least you now know what I want and how do I look...well not so near,my face is a little bit more "round" and I donīt look that "adult"...not yet

I wonder why I MUST have a portrait that looks like me...guess itīs some kind of an obsession.

Yes indeed... I couldnīt attach the ID2 pic cosī they are much bigger than the ID1 pics so this is the portrait I mean:
When you go to Black Isleīs ID2 site and in the main page there is a highlited text in one of the interview announcements. Go to the place called Icebound and in that page go to the portraits section and females. In page1 or 2 I canīt remember there is portrait which is like this:
A woman in a white dress who has white angel wings and long brown hair. He has some sort of light orb between her hands.
Thatīs the portrait Iīm going to use in ID2 perhaps...looks quite the same as the woman in my ID1 portrait donīt you think?
Well,she doesnīt have an armor but the face looks same...
