So I Googled some anime faces and edited it to fit the 128x128 texture size and cropped it out of an anime character's face for my 128x128 head texture item, but the eyes always show at the side? what gives? What size should it be to fully show at the front, or should I edit the facial features to be smaller?

You can follow this image's layout and find where you can edit/resize the eyes n' whatnot to fit perfectly on the 128x128 head texture.

Thanks a bunch!

test the mapping with The Gimp software.
