Then I'll do so, tonight.
Note that I'm not going to wire them in - I'm just going to put the 
images into CVS.

TDH.  Apparently, pickslide made what is now "orc-warlord4.png" as a 
portrait for "Tanar," which it still can be used as, but I saw no 
reason not to use it for many other orcs as well.

I'm still not sure what's gonna happen to all those portraits that neo 
drew.  I have all of them, and might get around to coloring them, 
eventually, but right now they're just mouldering on my hard drive.  
Certainly, if neo picks up on them and finishes the set, I'll get going 
on coloring all of them, and we'll have a nice, happy set for SotBE, as 
had been intended.  But, will he?

Who knows.

Pickslide has basically been "appointed" as the portrait artist for 
that campaign. My suggestion, to you, ott, since I doubt anyone else 
cares enough or has time to do this, is to wire in the orcish portraits 
that pickslide drew, using "orc-warlord4.png" exclusively for Tanar, 
and the other three for any others, and then to wire in the portraits 
of the "brothers sorcerous".  All of this is pickslide's work, and will 
all match well with itself.
