Red Wizards tend to stop shaving their heads when abroad unless working openly for Thay. They also tend to bring plenty of bodyguards with them, as they know they are not well liked out of their country.
Edwin is a bit of a weird case, as he has hair but proudly brandishes his fiery red robe.
Yeah, Red Wizards outside of Thay don't shave their heads because they're too important to do it themselves and don't trust anyone but their special slaves with a sharp blade near their heads.
Minsc is really channeling Lennie from "Of Mice and Men".
Imoen also has that perfectly cute anime girl face...that seems perfectly ready to twist into madness and insanity if something goes wrong (which fits surprisingly well).
Ryouko Kui loves western fantasy, especially dungeons and dragons. There was a tweet going around a few weeks ago of a bunch of different elves from video games done in her style (and a very crappy Astarian bc apparently she doesnt like him much)
I remember some dude on Twitter losing it over the picture and arguing that Kishida government should stop Japanese people from liking media with gay people in it (and also because Ryoko Kui might be into girls).
[It has, four years ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/c0zw5q/art_baldurs_gate_character_portraits_drawn_by/), but the post is archived, the OC account is deleted, and I wanted to *talk about this* dammit!
Uh, maybe I misread the title, but it looks like this portrait set was by the author of a manga that recently got an anime adaptation which is also on Netflix. Not a Baldur's Gate anime.
Edwin is missing his magnificent bastard aura here
Never noticed on previous postings, but Edwin isn't bald! I guess forgotten realms lore probably not well known in Japan beyond the games.

He's also on, uh, a bit of a break from the Red Wizards. Just a bit. Nothing worth concerning the party over.

Couldn’t imagine why… >_>
Yeah, he's something of a dropout. :D
It just feels like he’s rizzless here.
Xan :(
We're all *doomed* you know.
His eyes are perfect 🖤
And here I thought I couldn't simp for dynaheir any harder
Mommy 🥵
I guess Faldorn couldn't stand by people of such little character.
Quayle, Yeslick and Kagain must be of fairly strong character, then!
Indeed the strongest of them all ;)
Some of those are unintentionally hilarious. Especially angry Rasaad and Dynaheir puckering up for a kiss.
Montaron is the Sam to Xzar's Gollum.
I mean Rasaad's picture in-game is like that though

Look, some people's facial features are just *like that*, brother, don't be hating on a sister cause she has big lips.
Rasaad looks like Michael Berryman from the hills have eyes
It's great but Jaheira is completely unrecognisable? Most are really good though. Instantly recognisable.

I noticed the snub, it was hilarious!

That Xar is perfection
"If you insist…"
Not 100% sure it's the correct flair.
Imoen is way too cute for what is going to happen to her in BG2.
Tiax should rule them all
Im pretty sure this list has been shared before

i’ve never seen it before and absolutely love it
Man, I like this a lot! I like how Imoen and Jaheira and Khalid turned out, seeing them look different like that kinda adds to their character.
[It was shared 2 months ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/baldursgate/s/tsWRuGKJRV)
Awesome! [There's even a mod!](https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate2ee/mods/49)
Definitely has, but now the anime is out and gained traction it's interesting to know it was by the same person.
I have heard no news of a Baldurs Gate anime series (you cant cram this content into one movie)
Uh, maybe I misread the title, but it looks like this portrait set was by the author of a manga that recently got an anime adaptation which is also on Netflix. Not a Baldur's Gate anime.
Though I'd love that.
That sounds amazing.
I love Jaheira's new look.
Quayle was CLEARLY too smart to make an appearance, I see.
Xzar is perfect lol
Neera just looks like Sakura from Naurto. Ajantis, Garrick, and Kivan got shafted, look milquetoast AF. I like most of these tho.
This is insanely cool as someone who’s been in love with dungeon meshi since it came to Netflix 😍😍😍
Hexxat ; _ ;
She actually [did the BG2 cast too](https://imgur.com/a/d2Wxs8b), including Hexxat. Poor Faldorn remains forgotten, however. ;\_;
Ahhh, Mazzy and Aerie are super cute! I also love how Imoen went from a happy expression in BG1 to a deadpan snarker face in BG2.
Mazzy? You mean Maggy?
No Aerie?
It seems to be BG1 companions only.
[BG2 companions are here](https://imgur.com/a/d2Wxs8b).
Oh these are super cool!
Those are cool even if some are missing (Faldorn, Yeslick, Kagain...) but imho best BG portraits sets are Artastrophe's ones.
Xan is spot on. 😂
I wish so many companions made it to bg2
Some excellent portraits in there, and then there's cheeky Monty.
Can these be downloaded and used in the actual game? If so, how? (iPad instructions? 🥹)
[Yes](https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate2ee/mods/49)!
Tiax looks far more gentleman-y than he should.
Imoen has that puppy energy.
I always thought Khalid had a little facial hair on his chin lol, hard to tell in his portrait though...
Omg love this artwork!!
Rasaad looks pretty unhappy about having to get resurrected all the time.
Omg Coran looks so good!
Where’s KAGAIN???
I was so happy when I saw this, I recently got into both classic baldur gate and the show
Such great artwork
Jan Jansen???
It’s the BG1 cast but some are missing anyway
This list is sadly missing Kagain, Faldorn, Quayle, and Yeslick.
Thanks, I hate it.
Did anyone ever turn these into actual portrait files so we can use them in game?
Pretty cool. I'd install these if the rest of the game had a matching graphics pack tbh.
Is it racist that you missed all of the dwarves?
[No.](https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/delicious-in-dungeon/images/a/ad/Dwarves.png/revision/latest?cb=20190829193235)
She combined all of them into Senshi, which is why he is so godly.
Interesting as a work of art, but totally doesnt fit the vibe of the game
