Some people might know this, while others may not. But in Rpg Maker XP, it's possible to use face sets like in RPG Maker VX without the use of scripts.
The faces I'm going to be using come from here.
For Having the picture appear on the left of the message, like this...
Example:

then here's what you would put in the Event Command list.
Quote:
@> Show Picture: (#), (name), Upper Left (75, 200), 100%,100%), 255, Normal
(Text)
Erase Picture: (#)
If you want the Face the be on the right such as...
Example:

Then you would use the same Commands as the Above, except where it says 75, 200, you would have 450, 200
But If you're like me, You'll think that the pictures look out of place, if you add a background to it, just shave a few pixels off of the Y axis (second number, which is 200)
(also, ignore the sprites in the bottom left corner >_> )
