Replacing in-game portraits

[Star King]

Hi, guys! I was wondering - is there any way to replace in-game portraits with portraits of your own? In particular, I want to replace the (awful) Embodiment of Scarlet Devil portraits with IaMP/SWR style portraits. With the re-texture pack making everything so crisp and clean, ZUN's portraits just feel out of place to me. Thanks in advance.

I seriously don't see what's wrong with any of ZUN's drawings. I am not a fanboy, just saying. I can tell the difference between decent art, good art, and bad art. This is decent. How are ZUN's portraits BAD, necessarily? I actually think some of them are good.

I've never used them, but I'm fairly certain checking out Drake's Project Thread would yield some potential tools for image editing in the games~

It's just my opinion. ZUN's drawings get better in the later games, anyways - UFO's are really good IMO. It's just that some of the EoSD ones really bother me, like the Meiling drawing and her creepy stare. Plus, I LOVE the drawings in the fighting games.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

I'm sorry, it's just that I never really understood why everyone hates on ZUN's drawings.

They look bad in comparison to most of the other animu-styled art we see nowadays. I don't think they mean to demean his efforts or anything; but no matter how you look at it, his art is incredibly flawed in the older games.

I am just unable to hate art. I do not know WHY, I just can't hate something along the lines of art unless it's so bad a stick drawing would be better.

Then why defend ZUN's drawings if you know you are personally unable to judge art?
