Guys, I don't get it, I've been making custom portraits for a few weeks for various characters and haven't had many problems with it.

I'm using Photoshop, and BrawlBox, and I know what to replace in my common5, I have many successful portrait swaps... its just...


Every time I try to change Kirby's portraits it never ever goes well?

Can someone help me figure out why? I've included two non-working portraits for some custom textures below:



I made this custom portrait for:

Alien Kirby
By DasDonkeyTeam

Notes:

I didn't do any detail to the feet. Made in Photoshop, but yes, this doesn't work!!!! Before loading the character select screen the game freezes and holds a low beep until I hard reset.

This doesn't work either.



I made this custom portrait for:

8-Ball Kirby
By Picano

Here's another failed portrait that won't work. It's a stock image that I cropped, and used Photoshop to downscale it and give it transparency. Just like the Kirby portrait; I indexed the png, and did color reduction to match that of the original kirby portraits. Both are under 240 colors, 128 x 160, and png with transparency.

... So what gives?

[High-Res Portraits]

Oxa's Working Portraits!

  I make my portraits using Google + Photoshop and uploaded them into my common5 using BrawlBox.

Below is a list of my working portraits!

High-Res Portraits

---

Shadow the Hedgehog for MiscData[46], Sonic:



This didn't take long because the stock image of Shadow that I used was fairly easy to work with.

The longest part was working transparency values between the spines and the tail.

Knight Mario for MiscData[0], Mario:



This took slightly longer than Shadow's portrait because I used a screenshot.

Standard Portraits

---

Wall*E for MiscData[34], Rob:



I'm still messing around with this one, but it works as is. I'll get it looking smooth like I do everything else, I have to get rid of the white outline.

MiscData[5], Kirby, 055 Green

Right now I'm working on a decent portrait for Alien Kirby, but I've had no luck getting it to work.

I'm replacing the Default Green Kirby Portrait (02)with the one I made:



224 colors, indexed, 128 x 160. What gives? This portrait isn't working!!! Someone help?

I made a Portrait for you, but I have some questions regarding the texture? Aren't Lloyd's pants a greyish blue, and he has white buttons on his top, as well as a white stripe on his collar, and brown suspenders with a red overall...

I keep seeing textures with his pants being pitch black and with no white buttons or markings.

I'm not clear on what your texture looks like, but I noticed the pants.

Anyways, this portrait works in Brawl. ^^ Wish you best of luck with this project!



I always thought his pants were kind of blue-like, like this.
