Okay, since the art assets and technology is going to have to be developed anyway, any chance of also getting a standalone character designer application that can be used to design character portraits that can be put onto character sheets (or make pawns out of, etc.) out of this?

Too early to say for sure, but it's possible. (Though I'd personally think it's more likely that that functionality would *not* be a standalone app.)

Seems to me that it'd be just as easy to use the game to create your character how you want it and then take a screenshot of it (that's what I was planning on doing). And since the basic game will be free to play, there's no reason to spend extra code work on a separate app since everyone will have access to it anyway.

Resurrecting this.

What are the technical/legal limitations of having characters display pictures from certain URLs or uploading them to GW's servers as their character portrait?

Are there copyright issues involved? Too heavy on the GM side?

What's wrong with using imgur, tinypic, etc? Why do you need this to be on the GW servers?

Copyright issues and porn make uploads/links of outside images a tarpit for moderation.

I said "display pictures from certain URLs or uploading them to GW's servers".

Certain URLs would include imgur, tinypic, etc.

I don't think they will ever allow outside artwork for Copyright/porn/offensive etc reasons.
Your character portrait will likely be made based on what was used to make your character and quickly render one for the portrait, Like in DA:origins
