A few years ago *cough*eleven*cough* I made a small post about free character portraits available on the net. As was pointed out to me all of the links on that post are dead by now. And to be fair, 11 years ago it was harder to find stuff than nowadays. Now there are online generators and friggin’ AI art generation applications that were just not there 11 years ago. Back then it felt like there was a sudden dearth of resources after the d20 boom went bust and all those publishers went out of business.
But anyway, I decided to work over that post again and repost it with corrected links:
Wizards of the Coast PC Portraits Archives
A few hundred pictures from the old Dragon magazine. Some good, some bad, very mixed batch. This goes to the wayback machine archive of it because after a long period of hiding them away on their website Wizards finally got rid of the old edition stuff a few years ago.
108 Portraits from Nevermet Press (also on drivethru)
Pretty good ones. I definitely like those. The page says 60 portraits, but it was a kickstarter that went up to 108 in the end, all of them released as Creative Commons
Might be too small for a lot of uses, but definitely free because sourced from old paintings
An addition to the former, with 30 portraits from Diego Velazquez
Well, same as before, but a more unified look
