Does anyone know of any kind of place to find (sortable) player avatar pictures?
I've been trying to find some decent, appropriate pictures for my characters lately, and it turned out to be harder than expected.
(Doesn't help that like 99% of the female pictures in the SCoD photobucket gallery are white/caucasian. >_>)

The google, Deviant Art, uhmmm places like that, though you might have to crop them and such.

Google image search is actually pretty good if you know what you're looking for. Were you trying to get an avatar image that's black, or middle eastern? Searches of "Fantasy portrait african" or "Fantasy portrait arabic" are going to do a better job than trying to do "rogue" and sorting through the 48 pages of causcasians, elves, drow, tieflings, and whatnot before you get the first black result. Further narrowing with "male" is a good idea if it's a male character, seeing as how about 90% of fantasy art is of pretty girls in minimal clothing.

It's just frustating. I feel like no matter how specific or narrow your search terms, you'll inevitably end up with 90% white portraits regardless. Oh, great, now I'm sounding like a racist. :P
I'm telling you, I'm THIS close to finding an artist and commissioning a portrait of my own just to spite the internet...

Most of the Rak pics i posted last time for the submitting thread i got from pinterest. I had to make an account to get in there and browse to the fullest, but there's some good stuff in there. But yeah, depending on what race you're looking for, it's either nothing, fetish fuel, donut steels, or celebrity tracings.

It doesn't help either that NWN2 is quite racist about skin tones, unless you're pale or pitch black it usually doesn't match on your character model.

It's not NWN2.
It's modding community having troubles with following any set of consistent standards.
And no, pitch black will also not match when the cause is different opacity setting on body and head tintmaps.
