Does anybody know: were they actually intended to be just eye-candy for those who want to pick a pre-made character or was it something that got cut for lack of time or somesuch ?
And to elaborate on that somewhat - a question for you guys: what do you think - would there be a place for a portrait on the Character sheet ?
On one hand I used to find it so sad that you could kind of pick a portrait at the start of the game but then not see it ever again. Also, a custom portrait would allow hardcore role-players for some (albeit minuscule, but still) customization possibilities that the limited FO graphics do not support.
On the other hand all the various Vault Boy graphics kind of take the scene when it comes to eye-candy during the actual game

The FO Tactics portraits you can see here could be modified for starters, although stylistically they differ greatly from the FO1 portraits.
Also - FO2 went in a radically different way with the premade character portraits - discarding the green retro computer terminal look and just going with the 3D heads - which IMO is a stylistic mis-step, because the Character creation screen has not gone through a change (implying that the PC does not have a PipBoy when they start out as a tribal õ_õ)
I prefer the FO1 approach to this, although if there'd be a mod like this I wouldn't mind using photos like in FO Tactics to make the creation of these babies more easy (wouldn't have to paint them - duh!)

For variety - a lot of them could be made.
