I know IWD1's portraits were done by Jason Manley, but the IWD2 portraits are somewhat of a mystery to me. Wikipedia offered this information:
[quote name='http://en.wikipedia....e_II']Jason Manley, the portrait artist for the previous Icewind Dale games, left Black Isle Studios in late 2001; several new works he painted before his departure were later used in Icewind Dale II. Black Isle Studios artist Justin Sweet was asked to substitute; Justin Sweet's artwork has also been featured by Wizards of the Coast.[/quote]
I assume this means that IWD2's portraits are a mixed batch from the two artists, but does anyone know better? How many portraits did each of them come up with, which ones belong to whom etc?

P.S. I'm not in a hurry about getting an answer, so if anybody comes up with anything later, don't hesitate to post.

Justine Sweet did the portraits for IWD2. They also used Manley's from IWD as well. Sweet's portraits have a unique look compared to Manley's.
Her lips were red, her looks were free
Her locks were as yellow as gold
Her skin was white as leprosy.
The Nightmare Life-in-Death was she,
Who thicks man's blood with cold.

Such incredible art. Manley was amazing, but Sweet... wow.
