The portraits used in the HD pack are from the official artwork. If in-game portraits already existed in HD outside of the game, we probably would've used those instead.
As for the steps, if you mean to redraw them, I think there is at least one thread stickied at the top of the forum that should be able to help a little. As a warning, if you are new to retexturing, the portraits are probably something I would consider extremely difficult to redraw well.
