Whatever's most convenient, although it should look close to the style of the original Baldur's Gate 2 portraits.
2. Male or female? What race, age and character class, possibly alignment?
Male, half-orc berserker, around age 20, neutral good.
3. Describe the character's features (face, eyes, hair, clothing, etc)
His orcish features are two short tusks and shaggy sideburns, but he has a more human-like nose. His hair is not quite shoulder length, coming to a short ponytail at the back. If the portrait shows more than the face, the clothing should be heavy armor. He only has 8 charisma, so he shouldn't be too attractive, even for a half-orc.
4. What color preferences do you have (skin, eyes, hair, armor, clothing, etc)?
Light green skin, dark brown hair, dark eyes.
5. Would you like a weapon, a spell effect or an item to be shown in the portrait? If so, what kind?
No.
6. What kind of a background would you like?
Whatever works.
7. What kind of an expression would you like the character to have? Dangerous, happy, serene, mysterious, playful, sad, etc etc?
Somewhat serious, like he's deep in thought. He's got a scholarly side to him that I'd like to show.
8. Do you have a portrait you would like to be used as a model/reference picture (for pose, expression, looks, colors, etc...)? Post it here if you have!
The facial structure, skin coloring and facial hair should be similar to the default half-orc portrait from BG2 (link), but minus the piercings, and with tusks and a more human-looking nose, rather like this portrait.
9. Should the artist post the portrait here, or PM or email it to you?
PM, please.
10. Any deadlines?
No.
11. What game and what mod is this for?
Ruak, an NPC mod I'm developing for Baldur's Gate TuTu. It's still got a ways to go, but I figured I'd put out a call for a portrait earlier rather than later, particularly so I don't wind up with a detailed picture in my head that I can't describe well to an artist.
12. Anything else you'd like to mention?
If I could see a sample of your other art first, that would be great.
