Anyone know of a eye of the beholder portrait pack ? Eye1 is fine, don't need those that were added in 2.

Fair point, I don't think anyone has made one, which when you consider we got DM portraits early on is rather surprising.
If anyone wants to take up the challenge for this, that would be rather cool!

There is this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2092
But the link is broken. You might want to PM the OP, or perhaps bump the thread, asking if anyone still has that pack.

Thing is, the OP from the thread you linked is well... me

I back then made a quick and dirty compilation of the Eye portraits... but as I have no artistic ability it's just a resize job...
You can see how it looked here:

But was wondering if anyone did a artistic conversion like the DM ones

It's an easy matter to carve up the ChargenA.CPS file, but distributing it is sort of against copyrights.
If you have EOB, but cannot extract the ChargenA.CPS portrait file, then just run the game in Dosbox, find the portrait you like and use DosBox's built in screen capture to save it out to file. Then use Irfanview [
www.irfanview.com] to crop, enlarge, and save the file as a 128x128 pixel TGA.
(Source images are going to be 32x32 pixels wide; but Irfanview can do a decent upsample of them.)

That works and you can also find them here:

However I was hoping someone remade them in high quality like someone did with the DM portraits

Yeah the DM remade portraits are really nice. My personal faves though are the Baldurs Gate/Icewind Dale portraits.
