Default Re: Redrawing the Character Portraits?

Hey, that looks really good.

You're absolutely right about the character portrait crops -- I hadn't even thought about that being an issue.

I'll keep that in mind, and see if I can come up w/ any easy way to let players override those.

As for the gif's and 5-color team coloring things, yeah, we recognize those are atypical limitation, but we made those decisions for what we thought were good decisions at the time. And even still, I don't think they were horrible decisions given the constraints of LOL, but we're going to do things differently in the future. Specifically, our plan is to use much smaller images (no more 400x600 or anything close), and do 2-layer images (w/ alpha). The 'bottom' later will be the character, and the 'top' layer will be a grayscale crop of just the team-colored areas, which would be dynamically colored at runtime.

I apologize for not thinking about the effects of the cropping rectangles on the finished product, but you really have made a super cool piece of art!
