Hey those aren't half bad

If Safana bangs Coran and then convinces Xan to have sex with her, they both sticked their penis in the same woman, so they basically had sex with each other. That's how it works.
Is this the power of homosexuality by abstraction?
What in the actual fuck. The turned Xzar into Hisoka from Hunter X Hunter.
WTF is WRONG with those people? This is an early modern outfit. Definitely not something anyone in a quasi-medieval setting would wear. I hate artists without a sense of cohesion.
Also, no Tiax, no buy!
They all look gay. I don’t mean that as slang for ‘lame’, I mean the art(and by extension the characters) looks gay.

In my opinion that art is almost painfully generic. The only ones that are even recognisable are the ones with obvious facial tattoos. I'm not a superfan of the airbrush-style portraits in BG/2 but even they're more memorable than these.
It's competently executed but that's the best I can say for it.

If Xzar being a bhaalspawn is canon, then Baldur's Gate itself can't be canon since Xzar is not a bhaalspawn in the original story.

These portraits are overdesigned. Way to many unnecessary accessories. Why does every person have to look like a model on the catwalk with fancy shit left and right ? The old portraits were much better.
Those are not portraits, but illustration for a PnP handbook. I generally don't like this edition's artstyle, but they can't just cover an entire page with a giant face of the character and call it a day.

I've seen this art before, and I don't mind it as art in itself, but as far as depicting the character it's supposed to, it's actually really shitty. Only Coran, Minsc, and Kivan look remotely like they should, although Minsc still looks like a modern 20's-somehing gay-ass fuckboy, and Kivan looks like a constipated discount Legolas, all the intensity of his original portrait and character lost.
And how is that different to the Imoen situation?
In any case, I fail to see why making Xzar a Bhaalspawn was necessary.

Yes, this is the biggest issue. Most of those characters look like they're the star of their own animu musical MMO. Whether you prefer BG1 or BG2's styles, either game's portraits had a lot more character for what was, essentially, a bunch of weirdo assholes you run into along the way.
Also, just on a technical note, is it me or is there something off about many of those characters' mouths? The art is very competent otherwise, not bashing the author, but I just get this weird impression like the corners of the mouth have been nicked with a razor in some cases, it's rather unsettling.
Anyway, this is all very much off-topic, since BG3 doesn't have proper portraits. Oh, sure, they'll drop fat stacks on lazy radio actors phoning in a full voiceover for most players to mash Skip through, but can't spare a few pennies on a starving artist to shit out a couple of dozen

Yeah, well, Imoen’s all grown up and legal now so there’s that. And, you know, nice rack.

It isn't really. A further reminder that there are no deep thoughts or grand plans behind the Forgotten Realms, just random ideas piled on top of each other.
