Any place to get additional portraits for BG 2?

Such as the ones from IWD 2j. BG 2 selection sucks.

You might try the sites listed [url="http://modlist.pocketplane.net/index.php?ax=list&cat_id=36"]here[/url].
Just be aware that you may find some dead links.

Personally I quite like [url="http://www.kirith.com/"]Kirith's[/url]. But that is totally subjective, of course.

Also, with just Paint, you can resize the IWD2 portraits and use them in BG2. Or, the IWD I portraits are exactly the same size.

I tried looking for the portraits in the IWD directory, unsuccessfully. And wouldn't know what size is compatible with the game.

Also, I am sure Ben Stiller and Seth Green would resent being in the halflings section.

A quick search on Google reveals:

FilePlanet: IWD 1-2 Portraits
Sorcerer's Place - Baldur's Gate 2 Portraits

Alternatively, while it would involve some work, you could take screen shots of the IWD1/2 portraits you like and edit them with Paint. In BG2:
large portraits are: 110 by 170
small portraits are: 38 by 60

Thanks, did not think to google the files.
