Looking for a portrait (or two.)

I wonder if anyone would be willing to help me out with this? I need two portraits for male characters:

  • an elf with very pale skin and black hair, shady assassin type, smug and evil-ish (but not snarling-demoniac-spikes-on-spikes evil)
  • a human, black (as in, person of African descent), honourable ranger type, strong and kind.

Both reasonably alluring, as those are my romance options.
And there’s simply nothing like that out there. Nada. Zilch. Fun side fact: if you search google images for “male elf” it still shows you pictures of chicks.
(Or at least vaguely-female-inspired, anatomically impossible things with huge tits and waists narrower than necks.)

Skimmed the portraits project entries. Dropping off some links for you to consider:

You could also try taking a look around free image sites like https://pixabay.com/. Or, consider evaluating existing portraits’ potential for whether they would fit if their colourscheme was altered, or they were otherwise slightly edited (preferably not in case of artwork where it isn’t certain that the original author would be fine with that, though).

That’s some amazing effort, thank you! Looking through them right now.

I tried searching the vault, too, but somehow I mostly found… very weird things.
Maybe my PC is trying to tell me something.
