Am I the only one who think most of the male portraits on the net are all ugly?

I have seen tons of them, and so far I have found none that I would use to represent my main character.

Why is it that 99% of them are ugly half naked barbarians, and the 1% left are just general ugly characters?

Just take a look at this link to get an idea of what I am talking about... (It might take a little while before the portraits show up)

Truth, brother, truth...
Half of the portraits are snapshots from movies (unusable in the game, IMHO), half from books and the half are remixed porttraits from BG1 (which are pathetic!).
Kirith is a good example.

Some movie snapshots are good, though I wouldn't ever use one featuring a celebrity. I think most of the original BG1 and BG2 pics look rather poor as well. So I usually hunt the web for custom portraits, or make my own, below are some of my favourites.

Gimme your character's description, I could try and make you a nice portrait.
(I had this in mind for a long time, but my male characters looked just fine with the default ones)

Send me an e-mail as well, it could be long until I came to the board again. ^^
