E-Man's Sprite R & D

[E-Man]

It's been a while since I updated this thread. I spent some time stewing over what Iocus said and this is what I came up with.



Beisdes changing the color of the lower body (Is this what you had in mind, Iocus?), I also made a bigger shadow. I'm I little concerned that I made it a hair bit too big, but what do you think?

Anyway, after Iocus also told me to make the eyes cross-eyed, I went ahead and did that (looks better than I thought it would). While I was doing that, though, I also recalled what he said about making the eyebrows thicker and tried that. What I ended up with looks like a hybrid of a Mario & Luigi sprite and a Paper Mario one. I liked how it turned out, but considering that it now looks like it's merging with the outline, I went ahead and resolved that by trying to make the outline lighter. I was originally going to just increase the brightness of the color, but after looking at the mouth, I made the outline the same color as that to knock out a color. Then, I noticed how the new outline for the head is almost the same color as the outline for the body, which lead me to just make the body outline the same cold as the one for the head and zap another color off the palette.

As for the expressions below, they are there to provide an example of what I was intending for the giving the Goomba facial expressions. They need to be updated to reflect the new style change I'm making, but it shows pretty well why I'm not interested in making the Goomba permanently angry, right?

Also, Iocus, thank you for your thoughts on Anti-Aliasis. I don't mean to sound impolite, but I already knew about some of the things you covered and actually stated them earlier in the topic. I didn't mention them again because I thought I would sound annoying by being a broken record about it.
