So a friend and I recently finished making CSP's to let you know which costume your using in 20XX.
My friend had the brilliant idea of upscaling them since we took the pictures in high res and using them as custom textures. Here's the result,
After seeing how good it looked in comparison to the icons (these)
I took it upon myself to try and upscale these as well. I created a "proof-of-concept" with falco here
This was a quick mock-up but I think its definitely an improvement.
Since then, I've made a few more using the official art, I've found online / from their CSP texture. Here's a few previews of what I've got thus far.

This was basically accomplished by making a blank template
Vectoring it (badly) so it upscales nicely,
Vectoring the original text on each icon (couldn't find the exact font)
and mixing the two together and place the official character art / CSP texture in it.

I am aware the images I'm currently using are not the highest quality + not all of the original CSS icon poses are available with the full body. We really don't have access to the original renders used here (thanks HAL) and all the promotional art for these characters max out at around 200p.
the only place I've seen some of the renders needed are in official strategy guides
These guides seem to be the best source of these original, high quality renders.
If anyone has any of these guides / would like to assist in making these icons with me, please let me know.
