Leave some comments on these portraits, also what other portraits youd like to see.

All images are made by Michael Leonard aka Mikernaut except the hobgoblin which is made by Joe Wilson.

Beautiful work.

A bit too realistic in comparison to standard BG-focused artwork, but good stuff nontheless.

I especially like 'HobGoblin Final', as there's not enough non-human/elf work developed.

For some reason, I initially thought, before reading the filename, that 'Evil Elf' was gonna represent Jaheira. If so, poor Khalid would never make it out of The Friendly Arm Inn alive. :devil:

Hi, thanks alot for the Reply Azazello.
Yes theyre very realistic, its really hard to find an artist whos able to copy the art that was made for Baldur's Gate 1 and 2. The one who created these are a very good artist, he worked on some of the neverwinter portraits aswell in the original game.

As for the Evil-Elf one its actually more a evil-half-elf since she doesnt have those elven eyes thats in BG 2 Portraits.

Any suggestions on portraits that you might want to see?

Please, dont use subtle insults and unnecessary posts like the one above.
Give some constructive feedback and suggestions on what other classes etc from the forgotten realms youd like to see.

I thought I recognised the style from somewhere.

To me, the male hobgoblin is very interesting. He gives me the impression of being very dignified, almost noble if you like. It's a feature you don't often see in images of demihumans in Dungeons and Dragons.
