If you’ve been following the Nuvie changelog, you’ll hopefully have taken note of these recent line items:

* Added support for custom avatar tiles.
* Added Daniel’s custom avatar tileset for male portrait 10.

So that’s kind of a big deal. Prior to this, even in Nuvie, the Avatar would be represented by the default tiles for the character:

This guy.

Now, different tiles can be used to represent the Avatar based on the portrait for him, or her, selected by the user during the character creation process. Currently, it would seem that there’s only one alternate set of tiles available:

Which I think map to this portrait:

Still, this paves the way for further such additions in the future, which is very cool indeed.

And that is not all! Oh, no, that is not all! There were a few other tidbits to be found in the changelog:

Add Gwenno’s musician playing frames by HiPhish.

* Add Leodon’s musician playing frames by HiPhish.
* Add outline fixes for Gwenno, Leodon, Leonna, and Jaana by HiPhish.

I think that this brings to completion HiPhish’s efforts to create custom tiles for each of the companions.
