I wish to make my own BG2 portraits. Any suggestions where to find a bunch of good looking portraits that have not yet been converted as a BG2 portrait? So where do you portrait makers get your stuff from?

I've dabbled in portrait-making, and I've found that my greatest source of material didn't come from fantasy/sci-fi art galleries, but movie and television stills. I have personal portrait sets that I made with stills from Krull, Quest of the Delta Knights, the helpers from Time Bandits, Edward Scissorhands, Count Duckula, and Pirates of Dark Water. (Eclectic tastes, ne?)

EDIT: To start your image-finding quest, call forth your favorite search engine and type in "roleplaying art" or "(insert movie/TV show title here) image gallery" for best results.

If you're thinking about making zipped portrait collections or posting your portraits on your website, make sure you say EXACTLY where you got the original images and that you're only taking credit for resizing and adjusting the images to scale, if that's all you're doing.
