Since I like to use custom portraits and I know others do too, I'll be taking this over. I'll put the 5.7 from the other thread in my dropbox, add my own newer portraits, post a link to the 5.8, and anyone with a new portrait can post a link to it and I'll add it to the current file and change the version number.
Updated link as of Sept 2015, also a reminder, I won't be doing conversions so if you want it in the folder link to a zip file with Huge/Large/Medium/Small tgas of the portrait.

Copying these instructions from the old portrait thread for everyone's convenience, especially my own;
Step 1.
I use google photo editor to crop the pictures to a dimension of 256 x 400.
This is because if the quality is too great or the picture un-proportional, it will look out of joint. (Google photo editor is Picnik, a free online editor which was bought by Google. It's basically Photoshop lite, and thus is perfect for light editing.)
Step 2.
After cropping the picture, I save it as a .tga on my computer and put it in the NWN folder "portraits" - this is also where you will be putting the portraits once they are done.
Step 3.
I start a game in nwn and open the console, writing "ConvertPortrait [portraitname]" (Example: ConvertPortrait AliceBlackstone) and it automatically converts my picture into the five different sizes needed for your portrait to work everywhere. One thing in mind if you do it yourself, have a name with no spaces as it will not work then.

Picnick I believe has been discontinued. I use Paint Shop pro to get the picture to the 256 x 400 and save as tga.
I then use irfranview to create the sizes as it is very easy to use. I save all pictures in the tga format in the nwn portraits folder.

About twenty or so portraits from my quarter of a gig portrait folder (I cleaned it out I think... It used to be about 3/4ths of a gig) that folks might be interested in. Think it's SFW (might be one with visible nips, don't really remember).

Also, a nice application for thumbnails within the explorer menu.
