I'll address your points individually for the sake of organization: - Purple: Ah, so you noticed that hm? I was hoping that it would not be too obvious for the sake of time preservation but you are quite right in noting that the image is a bit stretched out. As I stated before, I had to resize the image several times to get it to align properly in the ROM and sadly enough, that was the result. I honestly hadn't noticed it at first but now that you point it out...I'll do my best to amend it but I wouldn't except top tier quality. -Green: I am not the greatest artist in the world and as such, many smaller details do indeed elude my notice. As it were, I shall trust your judgement with regards to the hair color and adjust it. -Red: Noted, and will be fixed. -Blue: Ha. The way you phrased that was quite humourous. Nonetheless, I concede your point on the matter and shall look into repairing it. -Yellow: Are you suggesting that I lighten it then? And yes, I did note that my minimug was a bit on the small side. I'm not really sure how that happened though. I was pretty sure that I had the dimensions correct when I first completed it...With regards to hair coloring, I feel like shifting it to the lightest shade will sacrifice a bit of its depth, if that's the right word. I don't want it to seem like a enormous blob of color. I suppose my own apologies are in order for the overly critical way in which I responded. Criticism is generally meant to help one improve and for that I should be grateful. However, when criticism arrives and I'm not expecting it, I often have a difficult time differentiating between it and insults for the sake of insults. Couple that with my frustrated mood, and yes I was indeed needlessly defensive. In that, I offer my apologies as well. Just as well, my thanks for clearing up the whole strikethrough issue. I was not aware of the jesting nature behind such things and shall keep it in mind for future encounters.

Well I'm glad to see that my topic managed to aid others aside from myself. I managed to figure it out on my own shortly after posting here last (It took a bit of resizing and slight shifts in the portrait). My thanks to all whom offered their assistance and for those who provided videos to watch, though I had already viewed those tutorials dozens of times over before coming here. The gesture was greatly appreciated. @Jealousy: I'm afraid that your meaning is lost upon me. This is the way I always speak and is my natural tone of voice. My apologies if that vexes you in some way. Just as well, like I has stated prior to this, I had viewed those tutorials before. @Sgtsmilies: I did not post that image for feedback, but rather to make more clear the source of my confusion and error. I'll assume that you are honestly attempting to critique the portrait as opposed to blatantly insulting me. I do not care for images where all the colors are dark and as my first portrait, I think it turned out fairly well. I personally see no fault with the red coloring. Just as well, I'm rather fond of the way the hair turned out and frankly originality was never a factor and as such, cliche or not, I'll not alter the picture for so minor a reason. I am not so one who goes for originality just for the sake of being original and little else. I am not entirely sure what you mean by the too thin section however. Would you mind elaborating further upon that? And lastly, the outlining the hair was actually a fairly good point and I have indeed mended that in the latest incarnation. All in all however, I'm glad that this topic is seeing some use after all. I had imagined that it would die shortly after my initial post.

I'm hoping that the image you provided grants me what I seek. Here is what I've got though: What you'll find is the custom portrait I seek to enter into the game, what it looks like when I put it in the Feditor, and the resulting mess in the ROM Edit: It usually looks a bit more lined up in the Feditor but I'm too frustrated to align them right now. Either way, it still comes out looking like that in the ROM

I post this here as something of a last ditch effort to locate the proper dimensions one should utilize when trying to input a custom portrait into the Feditor. Thus far, my search across the web has yielded no resultsand my attempts at guessing the proper dimensions have always yielded crooked and warped images in the Rom despite how perfect they look in the Feditor. I've tried moving and resizing the image several times to align it properly but nothing I do seems to stop the picture from distorting when I go to test it in game. If anyone can provide this road weary soul with a solution to this daunting obstacle, it would be greatly appreciated. A simple download link or some such containing the proper portrait box dimensions should suffice but any assistance will be welcome. Should it become necessary, I can provide screenshots of the issue in action if it will better assist you in understanding my issue.
