After many hours of tweaking, frustration, tweaking again, coffee drinking, tweaking, frustration 2, tweaking, breaking apart mentally and tweaking I finally learned how to make those combat arena lights look appropriate:
and here is a "comparison image" for playing with lights (on combat-arena):
(last picture with ???? is wrong, those lights come from <ShadeColor> of course)

You mean hero portrait pictures? I have made some scetches but the problem is, I'd seriously like to know how to make two different hero versions (those 3d visuals in combat arena) for one faction. Because the hero that's on the battlefield now is male, and I'd need to add female model for female heroes. Anyone knows how to do this?
To be more precise:
How can I add certain hero combat arena model to a specific hero?
If I have for example female character that uses id Deleb (who's a female Demonlord), how can I link a certain hero-model to Deleb?

Simple - every single hero in the game is capable of having their own unique model. All the default heroes just link to one generic model, specified in their xdb.
So for Deleb, you would go to data.pak\MapObjects\Inferno\Deleb.(AdvMapHeroShared).xdb, and link to whatever model you want using:
<HeroCharacterArena>
<HeroCharacterArenaMelee>
<HeroCharacterAdventure>
This can be done more quickly in the Editor using the Shared interface. It's also wise to link up the Model and AnimSet properties as well.

Thank you, sir! 
EDIT:
I can't get it to work... what am I missing?
Got it! it was a simple folder structure error.
===============================================
Here's a first Oblivion hero:
a female Beastmaster Cissaya
Bio and Combat-model will be presented in this post later.

Great updates dude!  I like the new town and battlefield.
What model do you want to use for female hero? (I have few ideas)
BTW, can't wait for new trailer.

I was thinking tweaked Isabel.
But argh! that portrait doesn't fit with H5 graphics / other existing portraits... colors don't match even I've played with contrast and lightness / Color corrector properties (Photoshop). It's just too undetailed and non-professional. I'm afraid I can't "heroesVfy" it anymore. I'll just have to tweak existing portraits so the basic HeroesV portrait-theme wont suffer

@ Sojlex
I know how to do that, but thanks for the link anyways the thing is that my graphical talents don't match the hero portraits so I can't draw new portraits myself. I have to use existing ones.
But here's how heroes of Oblivion are presented in this mod:
- All heroes will have the same adventure map model (genderless; no faces are shown or any feminine body shapes can be detected... ok, I mean NO visible boobs  ) which is tweaked/recolored knight. You have already seen it in some screenshots here.
- All/some heroes will have unique combat arena visuals. The most important thing about this is to separate male and female heroes. I have already made a unique male hero that you have seen in screenies here as well (bearded beastmaster). I have also added a female hero (Cissaya, using unique hero model, based on Isabel) raging in battlefield, waiting for visual tweaking.
- I have redone Hero trails and the symbol under the horse, but they need little bit tweaking as well.
- Portraits are waiting to be modified.

Thanks for offer, Gnu, I seriously consider if he's interested
I also made small changes to existing Haven hero (can't remember her name right now), so this is what Cissaya will look like if I use existing portraits. Yeah, I know, it's very much like original. But shes not that bad... I made her hair bit more reddish and gave some purple eye-shadow. She also has blue (of course) armor, and her horsie has purple-silver armor.
(not the final version, I have tweaked it already cape color from red to blue, horses ears and muzzle changed to black, stange grey cape removed behind horse, and sword + hilt removed from hero)

She looks great now! But maybe the portrait is too close to Freyda, but it's not in your powers to seperate it as I understand. Keep up the final version.

Yeah, that's a shame. I just can't copy the original style enough to make my own portraits that could fit H5. It's hard to think about them as unique heros since their portraits are copied and slightly recolorized or something. But I hope it doesn't bug you too much.

Well, it's the question of taste. Some people like everything in one style, other don't care. For example Kronos used pictures which don't match H5 style.

True.
But to save time (I'm not a quick drawer) I use those existing porties. But if someone wants to do uniques for Oblivion, go ahead, I have nothing against it
