I used that link and it helped me import my custom portrait.

There's no need to make fun of other users.

I have the same doubt

That link explains it very clearly. Heres the important part, though bear in mind if you are playing multiplayer we won't see your custom portrait, it will just be a big white square instead.

Place the jpeg file (e.g. my_pic.jpg) in the portraits subdirectory of where Neverwinter Nights is installed (typically C:\NeverwinterNights\NWN\portraits\).
Start Neverwinter Nights, then start (or load) a game.
Enter the console command ConvertPortrait followed by the name of the image without the extension (e.g. ConvertPortrait my_pic).
Find the .tga files in the portraits subdirectory, zip them up into a single archive file, and share it with the community.

While this procedure does produce files of the appropriate sizes, it is often not the best method for producing portraits. Many of the better portraits involve cropping the image for the smaller sizes, instead of simply scaling the full image down. Cropping allows for more detailed portraits at the larger sizes, while not overloading the smaller sizes with too much detail. For example, some portraits show the full body in the huge size, head and shoulders in the medium size, and just the face in the tiny size.

Hmm, for Enhanced Edition would be really good if they implementing auto-downloading other players' portraits in MP, how do you think?
