Only a few come to mind, but I'm sure there are others. I figure that anyone who uses a custom portrait is pretty much aware that it is a custom portrait (not one that came with the game, but one that was downloaded, either individually or as part of a package). Requesting someone's portrait via a list, though, isn't a bad idea.

Zombie did a good job explaining how to upload the files, but I suppose one question people might have is "which files do I upload exactly?".
1) Go to your Portraits folder. Mine is: C:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\portraits
2) Find the portrait file that your character uses:
a] Download a program that can view .tga files, such as
AhaView.
b] While trying to find your portrait, you'll probably notice that there are 5 copies of the same picture. That's because Neverwinter uses different sizes of the same picture in different instances, (you'll notice the portrait in the party member list is smaller than the one in the upper right corner next to your health bar, which is smaller than the one that is shown when you open your Character Sheet, etc.). So each file has 5 different sizes: H-Huge, L-Large, and so on.
3) Once you've found your character's portrait, you'll need to share (with us) all 5 files mentioned above. So, if your portrait is called "ma_Ro99", you'll need to upload "ma_Ro99H.tga", "ma_Ro99L.tga", "ma_Ro99m.tga", "ma_Ro99s.tga", and "ma_Ro99t.tga".
a]It'd probably be best to share them as a .zip file, as Morgan and I did. Rather than typing out instructions, ('cause I'm lazy), go
here.
b]Seriously, though, if you need further explanation, just let me know (PM me or some such).
4) Go to Bigupload.com, (I decided not to hyperlink it just to be mean), and follows their instructions.
5) Post a reply here and share the link with us!
