    In pretty much every forum on this site I see members with custom profile pictures to the characters in-game. How do you do this? Is there some template someone found in the sprites or something? Can someone fill me in?

    Thank's for the help!

    No really, now I can ditch this rushed scribble that barely resembles a face.

    I know a lot of members have had them made by sprite artists in the Starbound related Art section.

    I'm not sure if any are still taking requests, but if you're terrible (like I am) at that sort of thing they should be able to help out.

    As far as I can tell, the game uses 3x3 pixels?

    imperishable Pangalactic Porcupine

    nope, it uses 1x1 pixels and then resizes them ingame probably. Based of the template we got and the screenshots

    You can edit it, just helps as a guideline. I made a lightskinned flat chested version for the touhou chars. -w-

    It's so fun to draw up these sprites! I think my character looks the most awesomest of them all! :D

    you should have your avatar's bandana keeping going down in the neck portion cause right now it just look like a long ginger's beard lol

    I've been examining the SpaceHobo screenshot. It seems to be an increase on the order of 1-to-4 pixels (IE, a 1x1 pixel is now a 4x4 block).

    do they come any bigger?

    will probably try to make one myself at some point, but it will most likely fail horribly ^,^
