3 Easy Steps Video

Official Template

To reiterate, it’s as simple as this:

• From the toolkit, choose ‘Browse Folder’ to show where the template is located. Once it pops up, drag the template to your favorite art program and fill out your template.
  
• Load the completed template back into the game and finish customizing your character! Choose their name, character type (replacement or new), and magic type.
  
• Test your character out in game
  
• And publish your creation to the Steam Workshop if you wish to share it with the world! (Optional)

You can also reassign the replaced character of any workshop downloads you subscribe to!

While we’re on the subject, make sure to only share ONE view of your creation and never the entire template in order to keep it safely yours. Your filled-out template is your key to the Painter Boss castle; if someone else has your full template, they can technically upload your character to the Workshop and claim it as their own. Create and share with caution!

FAQ

Questions? Excited for more knowledge? Peruse our handy dandy FAQ below for more information about the DLC. If your question isn’t answered here, leave a comment, and we’ll do our best to get back to you!

What assets can I customize for my custom character?

You will be able to customize the art for your character’s head, body, weapon, shield, portrait, beefy form, and Back Off Barbarian art.

How does magic work for my custom character? Can I create new magic?

You will be able to choose one magic moveset from any official playable character for your custom creation! You can not change the animations from the chosen moveset or create your own magic.

Are there any rules or guidelines for what custom content is allowed?

Like all Steam Workshop content, whatever you create is governed by the Steam Subscriber Agreement, in addition to the Steam Rules for User Generated Content. Failure to abide by these rules may result in your Workshop content being removed! That’s right, Herbert will yeet your content straight into the sunset.

I want to make [copyrighted character here], is that allowed?

Copying someone else’s copyrighted work is against Steam’s rules and guidelines (see above). We can’t wait to see your unique creations! (Although… Steamboat Willie is technically in the public domain, so do with that what you will.)

Can someone steal my work and claim it as their own?

Yes – if you upload a complete image of your template somewhere online, someone else can upload it to the Steam Workshop and essentially claim it as their own. This is why we suggest that you only upload a thumbnail or portion of what you have created.

If I don’t own the DLC, but someone I’m playing with does, can I use custom characters?

If you’re playing with someone who owns the DLC, you will be able to choose any characters they’ve imported and enabled from the Steam Workshop!

Can I load custom characters from the Steam Workshop to Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo Switch?

The Painter Boss Paradise DLC is currently only available on Steam, meaning none of the DLC features are on console at this time.

Can I charge money for my creation?

No, you cannot charge others for downloading any custom characters you add to the Steam Workshop.

Are there any new levels and bosses in this DLC?

No – please refer to the “Original” versus “Fresh” graphic near the top of this post to see what features are coming in the DLC!

In Krita? The paint software? Just edit the PNG? There is nothing unique about this other than making sure your software isn't trash AKA just make sure it support transparent PNG.

[StarLune]

How do I get this to work in Krita?

[:)]

@Mr.Muffin when in the workshop, click subscribe on a character you'd like. then in the game open the painter section and manage and add the character to a slot, then once in the character select screen scroll down to see the custom characters.

[Sly]

Can you use procreate to create your character ?

[Mr.Muffin]

How do you download the characters and upload them to the game. When I click download it just brings me to the the workshop

[cronixxxx]

how can i set them as enemys

[Coffee]

You shouldn't force the steam workshop upload to fix the copyright question.

[瑪利歐]

How can I set Herbert as an enemy? I already downloaded Herbert but it is tagged "unique" and I couldn't figure out how to do it.

[Love and Hugs]

Take my points! I loved the guide.
