Where to get character portraits?

I'd like to get some good character portraits for my characters. Does anyone have a favorite site for character portraits that can be downloaded?

Thanks in advance,
The Fink

Ive used the Neverwinter Nights 2 character generator inside the game to make a character look the way I want and taken a screen shot to cut and paste over to a sheet. You could also screen shot baldurs gate or any of those old infinity engine character portraits. Also, check over at the neverwinter vault or the NwN homepage for possible additional portraits. There are artists that will create character art for you as well. I don't think Pete does, but Im sure he can chime in if I'm wrong.

My problem has been how do you get 4-6 adventurers with an attention span that jumps from one plot-hook to another to stand still long enough to take a portrait?

Tell them it's a magic box that issues forth treasure if they all say "cheese" together!

What?

I just do a google search for the type of character I want and save the ones I like to a file. I have hundreds of them. But one site I really like is elfwood.com.

elfwood is good and http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php has a great art gallery you can browse through artists you like and find some good ones.

I can. It just won't be for free.

Yep, I just wish they would sub-categorize the fan art with druids, clerics, wizards!

I also find good stuff using yahoo or google.

Theres an artist that sells cheap open license stuff that would make for good pc portraits.
