| po_azer_h.png |
Similar to po_azerman_h | Leave out | This seems to be a less edited version and not in portraits.2da | ||
| po_bear_kodi_h |
| Maybe add | Kodiak Bear presumably Could add back into the game mainly as an alternative Brown Bear portrait, perhaps for the animal companion version? Wasn't ever used oddly. This might be useful to actually make the Grizzly Bear (which is internally nw_bearkodiak, or Bear_Kodiak / c_bearkodi) so not sure why it wasn't used for this. Looks as good as the other bear portraits. | ||

| po_dmsucubuscat_bkren_h | Same as po_dmsucubuskrenshar_h | Leave outDuplicate, possibly for what was a potential "B" model variant. | |||
| po_dogcat_02lion_h |
| Leave out | Presumably just an unused dog. The main portrait is po_dog_h which could be considered more accurate. | ||
| po_fire_01_h |
| Leave out | Presumably the original Fire Elemental portrait. | ||
| po_flesh_h |
| Maybe add | This one is a very different "Flesh Golem" portrait; no yellow here! It actually looks - apart from the metal on the head - slightly more accurate to the original model. The Flesh Golem has some unused textures as well (c_fleshgolem1.tga - same as c_golfresh.tga, and c_fleshgolem2.tga which is unique) which might hint at the model being reworked or simplified? | ||

Similar to po_ headraline_h |
| Leave out | Very different from the final design of the stone golem (po_golstone_h), presumably an early one where they had a proper face and hands. | |
| po_zombie_h |
| Leave out | Might be a interesting one if the zombies actually looked like this, but must have been an early design or cut - note interestingly the elf ears. |

Portraits Based off HD Models
CatPerson Fimbul K has done a portrait based off the HD models (with an added hat):
This looks pretty good, need to see about trying this out with some techniques. To look similar to Bioware's;
- Background colours + stuff going on, borders around the model perhaps
- Lighting: Sort an in-game studio with a rough greenscreen
- Painting technique; ask CatPerson for some help here
