Portuguese and Spanish are similar, quite similar in fact. I'm Spanish, but my grandmother is Portuguese. I haven't even learnt Portuguese, but when I've been in Portugal, after some days I begin to undrerstand most conversations. Two years ago I met some Brasilian, and we finished being good friends. We spoke in a sort of Spanish-Portuguese mix, Portuñol we called it, and it was really fun.

Reading Portuguese is really easy for a Spanish, end I guess reading Spanish is easy for a Portuguese too. But writting is another thing, I couldn't write a phrase in good Portuguese, too similar yet too different.

I found the site pretty entertaining. Overall, I liked Nightcrawler and Dagger the best, with Colossus a close third.

FWIW, I found the concept of Jennifer Love-Hewitt as Kitty almost plausible. Heck, if Rebeccas Romijn-Stamos can play Mystique (and boy did she!!), then I'll buy Jen as Kitty. Oh, Julia Roberts as Phoenix was mighty amusing...I guess it's the auburn hair that brought someone to place her in that fiery role.

(Slightly Off-topic)

From an outside view, the two share many base words, but with no knowledge of grammar or sentence structure, the two do look remarkably similar just based on this. It's all in knowing what to look for.

Correct me if I am wrong, but Portugese actually looks like it stayed closer to Latin than Spanish is. (On the other hand, if you never studied Latin, you will likely have NO clue what I'm asking.)

I have found that Portuguese is like a combination of Italian and Spanish - and I have found as demonstrated above, that the Brazilians (understandably) get a little bit peeved when people speak Spanish to them....

When Wizards mag ran their competition a year or so ago, there were some great ones. I wonder if they still have their gallery...

Can you post some of the links from your 'research'? If any are of a adult nature, you can state so by the link or just leave them out.

Well, I started posting some of them at :
http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?threadid=35707

But I admit, I was focused when I started that thread on finding reasonable looking women in reasonable looking medievalesque armor.

I've found a few more sites since then, and I can add them in here later (when I'm on my other machine where I book marked them.)

Shortcut, check out http://www.seattleknights.com/.
I really thought their cast photos were superb.
(Please do not steal their pictures even if you know how--they have gone to some effort to assert their copyright to those images, and I repsect that.)

The motherload of photo reference for this sort of this seems to be a Google search on “Baldur’s gate portraits” You get stuff like the following.

Remember, I said I saw everything out there from the really silly to the completely obscene and I’m not making any judgments where about which are which. Surf at your own risk.

And yes, I know, these are all pretty much headshots, not a lot of clothing detail on them. At the moment, I’m working on faces, so these were what I needed. I’ll get back to the issue of clothes shortly.
