    Well as the title reads, i am looking for protrait packs that
    are hi-res or better looking then what i have. Portaits with
    a quality close or equal to this one.

    http://www.blackwyrmlair.net/~chevar/GUI/GUI Record.jpg

    Although i would love to have the one you see here i assume
    that it was made for personal use. But Any one who knows where
    i can find portrait pictures for BG2 for no matter what type of class
    with that quality then please let me know.

    I did look at the portraits section of Sorcerers place and downloaded
    severall of them and some have a few that i realy like but still, i like
    quality of quantity so to speak. :D

    Try here. There are a massive number of portraits, many are from other games or even movies etc. but there are plenty of good BG-style ones too IMO.

    Actually, that one was made from a Diablo 2 wallpaper and is quite common. I'm sure it's in at least one pack on SP.

    That would be this one Minstrel Wandering.

    http://www.blackwyrmlair.net/~chevar/guimod1.html

    touch_of_the_void i will certainly go through that site, thanks for the
    link. :)

    And Taluntain, i guess i must have downloaded the wrong packs
    then, oh well means i will have to download them all to see if i can
    find that one, thanks. :)

    At a quick search I found one IWD2 Diablo 2 portraits pack on SP, but the paladin pic there is different and the portrait dimensions in IWD2 are also completely different, so that's not much help unless you want to manually make BG2 portraits out of them.

    Well i am willing to do that. Setting the pixels to the right sizes
    should do the trick right?

    Yea, basically you just need to crop the large sized ones to the proper dimensions (they're listed in every game's readme and here).

    Thanks Taluntain, i found severall pictures on the web that i
    used to make BG2 portraits of. They are pretty good quality
    i think and i even found the picture that you saw in the first
    post.

    * I made 6 sets for Assassin/Thief type chars, which are all from
    the main character of Assassins Creed.(So there all male)

    * And i made 6 sets for Paladin/Warrior type chars. 3 are for
    females and 3 are for males.

    The width and height for the large pics are 110-170 with a
    filesize of 56.494 bytes. And the small pics are all 38-60 and
    with a filesize of 7.014 bytes, so they should all work as they
    should.

    Not sure if i can/should upload them as an archive to SP?

    the portrait pack will be put up with the next site update. So it will come
    up but whe will have to wait for a while. :)

    And thanks for being interested. :D
