Project Mirage [The Project M-inspired recolor thread] (UPDATED: 27/02/2014)

[ZpÑ41]

First, I start off with BrawlBox (latest version) and set up my character in any position that I feel that would suit their personality or create a custom pose. Make all of the bones invisible (everything on screen in the model viewer will be caught in the picture), deselect final smash eyes and any extra polygons. The go to the top drop down menu and go to "Options > Take Screenshot > With Transparent Background". For characters like Mario and Luigi who have a transparent cap shadow, it's best to select "With Background" then erase the background with maybe something like Gamemaker. Now to resizing it. I open it up in GIMP 2.0 and highlight the entire picture "Cut" it,  Scale the invisible checkered background to "128x160" then "Paste" the picture. If done correctly the picture is a bit smaller but still not enough to fit the visible frame. The character should be outlined so right-click it and choose scale. Try to keep the main picture in the center of the "128x160" frame as in brawl the Characters name will block the lower-lower part and "Press start" will cover around 10% of the top. You may want to go to "Filter > Sharpen" to clear the picture as it gets blurrier the small it has been scaled. Play around with some of the filters to get a feel for customizing the dull picture and viola. You're done!

Quick question, are you planning to add the full logo, just the "M" or neither off the above?

I'm new to brawlbox. can somebody give me a more detailed how to?

[Purpa(Rage83)]

Is Kirby taken? Because I could easily make a Mirage color for him.
Also, that DK looks good, ShadowLuigi.

Technically, I've already taken Doc, but you're welcome to work on your own version. I plan to upload my revised version (implementing  Generally Epic's pointers) as soon as I can.
