So I was cruising google for some inspiration, and I found some great work by an artist called Kerem Beyit. Truly, I think this guy should have been responsible for making the new portraits for BG:EE. The ones we got are well done, but stylistically very far from the rest of BGI and BGII.
He has a page on digital-art-gallery: http://digital-art-gallery.com/artist/366[/url] and one on deviantart: http://kerembeyit.deviantart.com/
Google image search with his name http://goo.gl/mSKWI
They aren't ready for BG use, but it's easy to crop out some great portraits from what he has.
Oh, and I'm sure he would appreciate your support and all that.
Note: I don't suggest that you take his images and include them in your own publicly available works, or anything of the sort, but simply for personal use in your own game. Copyright and fair use and so on.
Anyway, I don't know the guy or anything, but I think he's really talented and wanted to share.
