those were great indeed !I love the dialogue portraits in Grandia.
I don't know how you can hate such a funny guy, i'm smiling just by looking at him lol.It's funny, those portraits are among the main reasons I don't want to touch the Might & Magic games from that specific era. They look jarringly anachronistic to me.
Especially this naked asshole:
Also he makes me think of him

Always loved this one cause he's actually coming out of the frame.
I actually looked at it and thought it looked wrong but it was getting late and I got lazy. Thanks for picking that up.
I didn't realise Lucky Strike was a fan favourite. All I know is that the developers had her in all three Shadowrun games recently either as for hire or occasional NPC for world building but it was pretty memorable overall. I was smiling when I ran into her in Hong Kong and she spoke about her team back in Berlin.
I was obsessed with the portraits in Disciples: Sacred Lands. They were a really unique combination of western and Japanese aesthetics and I haven't seen similar art since anywhere...
There are no high quality versions available that I know.
These are just a few units from the game.

classic high templar
Great pick.
I'd throw OG Zeratul in there for similar reasons. The hard shadows look awesome.

Not sure about favorite, but I was shocked by how good EviLore's avatar turned out in Pillars of Eternity.
Wait, is that really based on Evilore? The resemblance is definitely strong.

These are all great! Let me contribute some of my favorites from two games.
The King of Fighters XIV:
Twisted Metal: Black. I like these, because they also come with psychiatric profiles for the characters:

Atlus is amazing at character art. You have to be to sell waifu merch to the fans.

We actually imported our own faces. Undoubtedly the nerdiest thing to ever happen.

All of the character portraits in Solatorobo were great, but I guess Opera Kranz's is the best

The Team Fortress 2 portraits are pretty good.
It's too bad the technology wasn't there to more fully commit to the "industrial artwork" look, instead of the Pixar look the game actually has.

As an avid "arcade-monger" during my pre-college years, I was immensely fond of the character artwork found within various games created on the Capcom Play System II board.
I love the dialogue portraits in Grandia.
Think my fave is Rapp
Plus any Arle portraits from early Puyo Puyo series.
I like you :3
Justin's and Rapp's are especially great.
Also, this is one of the few games where they even bothered to give the side characters unique portraits.
And these are just a few, there are so many more
Can't believe there's no pictures of Feena in this thread.
Some Feena for all!

Original Beatrice's troll face from Umineko. So much better than the new version.
And last, but not least, Shiki Nanaya from Melty Blood, especially when contrasted with Shiki Tohno (same body, different personalities)

Same.
Also: Such high hopes for Cyberpunk 2077's characters, look and feel. *daydreams*
It's the studio lighting and the '90s hair.I don't know how you can hate such a funny guy, i'm smiling just by looking at him lol.
Also he makes me think of him
I wish I could see a Robin Hood in him, to me it looks like he escaped from the set of the Black Or White music video.

Dissidia Character portraits
Katawa Shoujo had some pretty great portraits too. Of the main characters I think I liked Shizune and Rin's expressions the most. Both offer expressions and feelings that seem pretty on point with their characters. Shizune with her strict and purposeful gestures to help you or to challenge you to understand her meaning while Rin's confused or casual expressions as she struggles to understand or express something.
The way Shizune's portraits jumps from one to another multiple times quickly when she signs rapidly is also very clever and a nice touch.

What game is that from?You mean this guy?
That's also part of the charm for me, not everything has to be cool or up to date, especially if it's not meant to be serious.It's the studio lighting and the '90s hair.
