Hi, I'm an artist, and I have to say it's been really upsetting to draw characters, and try to color them, knowing the image showing their faces will have to be barely two centimeters. Rendering any image to read as a face, with any detail, at that scale - it's very limiting and very frustrating. I can do it, and do it well, and I I'll admit I absolutely hate doing it.
I want to make and show character portraits, not half a postage stamp the size of a large emoji.
Add to that the pre-order bonus portrait frames often shrinking and/or covering the exposed picture area and the picture itself becomes a somewhat pointless exercise in frustration.

"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."
Way too small, yes. I am someone who *loves* trying to find the perfect character art and it is just an exercise in futility at this point. I wouldn't even mind if it was a separate section (one of the many section options in the mobile version) as long as we could get an image that could actually be shown to the group. Are they perhaps worried about copyright issues?
I feel the same. I've created my Druid in various video games (who have a CC) so I could use screenshots of his face here. Just to have to resize them super small so I can use them. :<

Anyone else feel they are too dang tiny?
