What would be cool is if portraits could be integrated into the vault. For each entry in the vault, a little subsection for portraits that people can upload theirs to. For a while there finding a portrait go with a hack I downloaded used to be tricky :O
That was really helpful! Thanks! I had no idea how easy or fun it would be to create my own poses.
I'll share my cheat for eyes; Some characters you can just put their eyes together and replace whatever part of their eyes brawl box does render (usually just the eye whites) and get good looking (albeit somewhat limited in the direction they can look at) eyes. Mario is out of the question of course, but Link works spectacularly well for this. Because I'm lazy and the eyes I've done by hand always seem off when it comes to characters looking at angles, heh.
These look great. The four swords poses are real nice too.
Would you like to make CSP's for some of my hacks?
I could try, I suppose. What do you want?
Some new poses.
And SJS's Zelda/Sheik deal inspired me.
How does he mass produce this stuff.
I'm gonna start consolidating the portraits I make into public photobucket albums. It seems like a smart way to go about doing that.
Starting with the Mario collection;
Also I make Link poses that are way too wide!
I did a little rotation to salvage the Link pose, but Fierce Deity doesn't look quite right rotated. I'll create a good pose for him someday.
Today I did Paula and Poo. Ness' default portrait in Brawl is already his official art, so I'll have to think about it longer before I can create a pose for him.
Raichu
The Samus Collection! This is one I've been needing for a while. Even though all my Samus poses were different, they were still kind of samey. And it's probably obvious how I feel about samey portraits!
Today I worked on a new Fierce Deity Pose. It's not based on anything, but at least Link is bigger.
My Yoshi are all pretty bad and need to be redone, but I'm very bad at Yoshi. His eyes are tough and I can't really cheat them very easily. I'm not sure if I have it in me to do a whole new Yoshi collection, but there's Green at least.
This one's more of a gag portrait: "The reference"
Donkey Kong isn't really my cup of tea, but I gave it a whirl.
Luigi!
Just the one Fox.
I wish I could render fire as it would look in game readily but oh well. Diddy.
Ah, sweet. I wanted something like that for Zelda/Sheik but was for some reason too lazy to do it myself. I really gotta get my SD card back out and get to putting in all these new portraits in. I haven't touched Brawl modding at all since I started playing Skyward Sword.
Also, for R.O.B. only, you can request more than six hacks.
Seriously, this guy's got next to nothing. I'm about to just download every R.O.B. texture from BrawlVault, StackSmash, and LST.
Then I might make a decent texture hack over him.
ROB is unloved. That's another character I'm probably going to have to get up and make my own poses if I want enough unique poses for all of his colours >_> Also everything I want has already been requested.
It's an Ice Climber extravaganza. Nana and Popo not switching places on the portraits where appropriate was one of my bigger Brawl pet peeves. It's hard to pose the two of them together and make them fit.
