    I'm looking for somebody to do me a huge favor, and create the 4 main South Park characters into portraits (Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny).

    I'd like to recreate the characters from the episode "Make Love, Not Warcraft" into BGII characters.

    I figure Stan can be a Paladin, Kyle a Sorceress, Cartman a Dwarf Fighter/Cleric, and Kenny into a Fighter dualled into a Thief right away (with ***** in Bow). I'd like to use their pics from the cartoon as avatars though, not the Warcraft characters.

    Also (and I know this is a stretch), but if there are soundsets out there somewhere for these characters that would be a huge bonus!

    Making portraits is explained in the readme and is really quite simple, just a case of resizing an image and naming it a specific name (The precise mechanics of which elude me right now) All you'd need is some pics of the characters which you'd find in seconds with Google :)

    You can use MS Paint. Sketch and Skew using %'s.

    Just remember IS/OF = X/100, assuming ya know algebra. So it comes out to X = (100xIS)/OF, X being a %. Also you can adjust the stuff before hand to eliminate anything you don't like from the portrait.

    Lastly - this is the "ghetto" low-tech way I do it, I think there are easier ways in the readme's on the site.

    Yes, you can take any picture found on the internet and then either cut from it to fit the required size or shrink it to that size. I did that plenty of times with various fantasy pictures.
