Go to the Record screen of your character - this is while you're in the game - click on the Customize button, and I think it's the button at the top of the list, Appearance, and then click on the Custom button beneath the picture. Select the pictures you want and click Done.

When you select the custom pictures, did it appear on the screen? Large one on the top left and small one on the bottom right of the menu.

when i clicked on the picture that same shadow with the ? came up as the pic. so what's wrong? i named the files with a large S and large L and the end and they're both bmp.

Send the pictures to me: KE_Sabre@hotmail.com and I'll see what's wrong, it could be because the picture size is not right.

If you're asking what I think you're asking; then as long as you name the files as you did when you saved the game, then technically yes you should get the pictures when you load the game.
