Why 180x180?

No idea what you mean by 1:1 scale. However, if the current cut is of good quality, and the area with the face is 215x215, there's little point upscaling a new source to 250x250 because it'll lose quality and it probably won't be an improvement for me, and I simply won't include it in the megapack

In the case of the source you attached, it actually came to 235x235, so upscaling it to 250x won't lose that much quality. And when compared to the current cut, it's definitely an improvement.

Much, much better than your previous work in terms of technique. If you keep going like this, you won't have any complaints from me

The only issue I have is that the original sources aren't very large, and in most cases the face area isn't 250 pixels in height, which means that the cut has to be upscaled, leading to (in most cases slight) loss of quality. The bigger the source image, the better the cut-out, just so you're aware for future reference

If you use remove.bg to pre-cut sources and photopea.com to work on the resulting cuts, you'll get much better results. All of these tools are free too

Not bad, but some of them still have the issue I've pointed out with a gap above the head or below the chin which is larger than necessary (e.g. 91155708, 55011049, 36151571, 36148876, 36043072). 2-3 pixels is enough, having more adds nothing to the cut.

Also, it depends on the source images, but a lot of the cuts don't have any hair details whatsoever. What program(s) and technique(s) are you using? Do have a look at the thread I linked to earlier, and perhaps we can offer some additional help on them.

Finally, cuts look better in-game when they're centered (e.g. 62261479) and straight-on instead of slanting to one side (e.g. 36035173, 55004196, 62233879). It's quite easy to rotate the source before cropping the cut, so do take time to do so whenever necessary.

All that criticism aside, they look a fair bit better than your previous efforts, so do keep working and trying to improve your technique
