Custom status face not working

[Touhou Cringelord]

So I drew a custom face for a doom wad I am working on and it isn't working. Nothing appears on the status bar when it's supposed to show up. I tried resizing the image to the original pixel size but it looks like cancer. Please send help.

Have you placed the status face lumps at the right place?

It's better if you can provide more context of what port are you trying to import your custom graphics, and/or share your file, to make people have a good look on why your status face is broken.

This is the status face in my wad. I wanted to only draw one, for now, to see if it would work.

Uhm... Is the face picture zoomed? Otherwise needs to be shrunk a little, iirc pictures too large of 32x40 pixels doesn't work for status bar faces for vanilla doom standard. I don't know about other ports like zdoom or similar stuff.

It might be worth making a thread in the Editing Questions subforum asking if you can have status bar faces larger than the original.. I have a strong feeling GZDoom supports this feature, but sadly I don't know how to use it. In fact, I'm certain it's possible as I've seen other mods with "HD" status bar replacements.
