How to make High Quality Custom CSPs, CSS icons, CSS names, and Recolors!

Hmm... So I just fix the eyes & move them a bit then I brighten it a bit? How do I fix the "eyes popping out at you" problem? They look a bit too big but if I make them smaller they are to tiny. Weird. What exactly does the Dodge Tool do?

[Brawl Hacks] Making Character Selection Portraits (CSPs)

Nice job. This is really helpful!

Not sure if is the right place, but for some reason, even after replacing CSP files in sc_selcharacter_en.pac, (under char_bust_tex_lz77), they don't show up in the menu, much less on the battlefield.  The characters' portraits I'm attempting to replace are located under Misc_Data[12] and Misc_Data[43], which are Peach and Wolf respectively.

The .png files in question are all 120x160 pixels with transparency layers using Photoshop, and yet, despite following all instructions, none of them ever show up in Brawl.  Is this due to my using Dolphin as opposed to a real Wii console?  Does it I need to delete the matching character costume's old palettes?  (What I mean is, Peach's default outfit is named "MenSelchrFaceB.121", so if I swap that with a new CSP, do I need to delete the old palette)?
