Actually, that's what I was trying to explain with my poor 3 words of
English... ;)

I was sure you would disagree :p Using portraits would limit for example
the ability to change the color of skins - as in portraits skins colours
are much more detailed and simply can't be coded with 255 near colors.
About hairs and clothes, that shouldn't be a problem anyway, so globally
I'm not against keeping the portraits.
