I debated a little bit between posting this here, or in the general discussion area. Being that a positive response will most likely come from a dev, I opted here (sorry if I'm mistaken).

In short, I'm looking for my character portrait from before the time our current avatars existed. I saw about 2 months ago, something happened that let players retrieve them (for the last time?), but I was never good at being in the know nor do I think my account was active at the time.

This character has a legacy, one of which I'm very fond of. It's for this reason I'm looking for my old portrait. If anyone has any resources that would help me to retrieve it, or if a dev can help in this matter, I can't express enough how much this would mean to me. Thank you all for your time.

Edit: The character representing me here is the same character (name) I'm looking for. Please let me know if any of you out there are able to get it or find it.

I can't believe I spent about 2 hours looking for it, made this post, and then found it! This could be considered a work around I suppose for anyone else looking for their old portrait so here you go!

You can go to evewho.com and then in the search box in the top right, you can type in your character name. It will more than likely bring up your newer character portrait. But right below the picture is a link to view your old portrait. I don't know if this will work for everyone, but it worked for me. I'm so glad to have this piece of history with me now.
