This sounds pretty lame but I need some help finding a good portrait of a character I have. Basicly white hair and half of the face is burned/scarred. Any sites with a portrait similar to this? And if I put a custom picture in BD can does it also go to BD2?

This is not exactly what u asked for, but some excellent portraits can be found from here. There's also a tutorial of making BG portraits, so if you have necessary software u can do the scarred blonde character portrait yourself

And sure, u can use the same portrait in BG 2 as well as in BG 1 - just place the pictures in 'portraits' folder both in your BG 1 and 2 install folders!

Do you have a picture of the character you want that you could scan and save as a bitmap file? Use MS Paint or something similar to resize it for small and large por

Do you have a picture of the character you want that you could scan and save as a bitmap file? Use MS Paint or something similar to resize it for small and large portraits and then cut and crop out the face following the pixel restrictions. You can even use a photo of yourself if you wanted. Sounds like a neat character - what race/class is he?
