Two things: GRAPHICS 3 is multicolor, so if you use CHAR, the BASIC will transform the characters. It does a hires-to-multi conversion, that's the only way it's possible to do a CHAR 1, or CHAR 2, or CHAR 3 (since those will all be in different colors). So, basically, if you want to use multicolor, you need to draw the set that way (half the resolution).
Second, all the code and POKEs in this thread are regarding character mode only. In GRAPHICS mode (either hires or multi), you need to do something different. There's a POKE for it... something around POKE 7xx, (the address of your set), but honestly I don't remember it. If no-one else comes around with what that POKE is, maybe look at the ROM code for CHAR or just find an existing program that does this and check the code out there.
