For my first character, I chose a portrait depicting a half-elven lady with brown hair and eyes, wearing brown armor and a staff in her hand. My love for painted custom portraits started with Baldur's Gate II.
Not only are these portraits exquisite to look at but they help me tune into the characters I create by setting them apart from other player's characters, making them uniquely mine. There is just something about painted portraits - I always feel so irresistibly drawn to them. Opinion - my love for custom portraits in computer roleplaying games
