I've made a custom character mod for myself and it's not as easy as drag and drop. This game has a surprisingly extensive spritesheet with a lot of animations.

If you're comfortable with sprite editing and pixel animation, then go to Steam\steamapps\common\Noita\mods folder on your computer and look at the default mod folder called "starting_loadouts"

You should see a folder called "files" -- take a look in there and pick any of the folders inside. In each one there is a png file called "player.png", this is the base spritesheet you'd be editing. If editing all that looks doable, make a copy and get started with your editing.

Then I'd recommend going to modworkshop and downloading a few already made player character mods for reference. Like one of these:
https://modworkshop.net/mod/25885
https://modworkshop.net/mod/26541
That'll get you started on how to lay out the folder structure and coding needed for your custom player character.

Side note:
At this time, using a custom character will disable high scores for the game. Even though technically you are only altering graphics and not gameplay, all mods right now disable score saving. :)

I can help teach you how to make a cosmetics mod, though it'd take a while considering the size of the characters animation. DM me on discord
