I hope it's all done 3D to be honest, while I adore the portraits you can have and such, I always want to make my character look like it. It's just more fun when the "portrait" is rather how your character looks, rather than your character always trying to look like your portrait. If you understand what I mean.
Especially hard when your portrait is full body, then there's even more to match. Maybe the face is fine but you're a warrior, and the picture is holding a staff...etc etc.
