    A lot of you know me for my awesome CSPs. I have moved on to importing, but I don't want to leave Portrait making without helping others.

    I hope you all enjoy Smiley

    Supplies Needed:
    Basic knowledge of BrawlBox http://www.mediafire.com/?slrig3kevcpux
    Basic Knowledge of Gimp http://www.filehippo.com/download_the_gimp/
    CSS Templates:


    ^^Name Template is black^^


    CSPs
    New Brawl Box:
    NOTE: the sound is off on this one
    [Brawl Hacks] Making Character Selection Portraits (CSPs)

    Old Brawl Box:
    I am going to make Trunks over Ike by BeyondYou CSS stuff in this tutorial
    1.) Open model in BrawlBox, and open all tabs and FitMotionEtc.pac for that character

    2.)Model look funny? Uncheck polygons until the area is fixed (usually the face or eyes of a character)

    3.) Create a Custom pose using the FitMotionEtc.pac or make your own pose  Smiley
    4.) Change the background color to green

    5.) On the keyboard, press CTRL+PRT SCR
    6.) Open Gimp, and press CTRL+V
    7.) Your BrawlBox screen should appear.
    8.) Then make sure you crop the picture (first, put the proportions 128x160, check the box that says "Fixed", then resize the crop box)

    9.) Now time to get rid of the green. Use the Select By Color Tool.
    10.) Click on the green areas, then right-click, Layer>Transparency>Add Alpha Channel.

    11.) Press "Delete" on the keyboard, then unselect your object.
    12.) Now its time to fix those eyes. Ike (as well as a few other characters) has messed up eye whites. So i needed to edit that using the brush and blend tool.
    13.) Export the eye iris (found in BrawlBox, under textures)
    14.) in Gimp, go to File>Open as Layers>Select the eye iris

    15.) Re-size and edit the eye to make it fit the eye socket appropiately
    16.) After fixing the eye, click Layer>Merge Layer

    17.) Repeat steps 12-16 for other eye if needed
    18.) Now re-size the image. Make sure it is 128x160 px

    19.) Click Image>Fit Canvas to Layers

    20.) Save as a .png and enjoy  Kirby Dance


    CSS Icons
    1.) Open template you want in Gimp

    2.) Open picture or CSP you prefer to use (File>Open as Layers)

    3.) Draw a white outline around the picture. The thickness is up to you, i prefer to make the brush size 0.15.

    4.) File>Save as a .png. If a box pops up, check the box "Merge Visible Layers" then click "Export"
    5.) Enjoy  Kirby Dance

    CSS Names
    1.) Open Template

    2.) Using Font tool, type name of character
    3.) Change to preferred font (I use LeviBrush) and change color white. Resize if necessary.

    4.) Save and Enjoy  Kirby Dance



    CSP Recolors
    1.) Open CSP you wish to edit

    2.) Select the brush tool, and change the mode to "Color"

    3.) Color the regions you wish to recolor

    NOTE: If you select black or white, it will turn colors grey. To fix this, you must play around with the brush mode "Lighten Only" or "Darken Only" and change the opacity of the brush. I still have yet to find a better way to recolor things black or white using Gimp.
    4.) Enjoy  Kirby Dance

    I've always wondered the proper way to do this.  Well, I was slowly figuring it out myself but this tutorial is awesome.  And it's now even better now that we have Brawlbox 0.64 which has proper good lighting.
