This Portrait Pack is a collection for all OC companions (excluding Construct) with one bonus portrait, should Khelgar happen to be a Monk.
The goal was to create portraits that would not deviate too far from the actual game models. While there are (hand drawn) portrait packs out there that are nothing short of amazing, I wanted something more "basic" for my game. Something that would make it easy to identify the characters in the party roster, but without having to resort to the hideous portraits the original campaign provides.
I might improve some of them in the future, to bring them more in line with the first six. At the moment, certain character models yet surpass my editing skill, so this might be more of a long term goal.
Special thanks to Spidercat at this point. Sand's still a pain to edit, but I'll get it done, eventually. :)
*UPDATE*
Some portraits got a major overhaul, other I merely changed insignificant things such as brightness. Sand is *still* my problem portrait, I'm having a hard time making him look good, so I left him completely unchanged, until I can come up with something good.
Unzip into your NWN2 portraits folder (e.g. \My Documents\Neverwinter Nights 2\portraits) and select them in-game by clicking on a companion's portrait in the character sheet.

Exactly what I was looking for, perfect! Glad someone shares my sentiments on using the in-game models for portraits, but the additional flourishes (Shandra's hair especially) really throw it over the top.
Thanks. If you have any suggestions for improvements, let me know. Even criticism helps, so if you say "the hair looks awfully flat" and can give me pointers how to improve it, I'll do my best to change it.
Sorry for the Saiya-jinn haircuts, should you not be a fan of these. I thought Grobie would look cute with one. :)

Oh my! Thank you for pointing this out. Seems that checking twice before uploading wasn't enoguh. Sorry. Bishop should now be included as well. :)

Great looking portraits. There's just one problem though.
You forgot Bishop's portrait in the upload. I went to go use it in game and went, "Where on earth is it?" Looking through the folder there's only 11 portraits instead of twelve, Bishop's being the one who vanished. Crafty ranger. XD
If you could reupload it with Bishop included it'd be very much appreciated. X3 _________________________ "I'll have your heart eventually, even if I need to cut it out of you."
I just noticed I did do a step by step how to regardless. Oh well. Some artistic skill is still involved,and that's where I can't give real descriptions. Some deviantART tutorials helped me tremendously with Shandra's portrait,though. Maybe that'S also a source if you want some ideas for portraits based off screenies.

Very nice job. Wish I had had these when I played the OC. They are nice enough that I may use them in other mods or in SoZ.
Elanee, Shandra, Sand, and Neeshka look especially good.
Only thing that could make it better is a defaced and defiled version for that bozo Bishop.
I've been doing something similar for my PCs...maybe you could do a "How To" explaining what you did?
