yup, i get that. I saw a mega man sprite somewhere using the mm8 one as a base and it looked a lot better than the original. Or at least, for the style going for it. I don't think they were going for really bright colors back then like the sprite i saw. It might look brighter and more cartoony, but i don't want that atm. So, i want to have a gritty look, i suppose. = ) Maybe i should abandon that outlook though.

yeah, but if i chose the lighter red as the shadow it would be too light, if i darkened the darkest any further it'd look black, and if i used the darkest where the second darkest is it would be too dark all around and defeat the purpose of having a shadowy red.
BUT, this is basically a test. I'm not sure if i'll actually use this shadowing; it doesn't have the same feel as the other sprites in super smash flash 2. (though they're all mish mashed anyway, but it still would be too dark) aaand yeah, still not finished, i'm very slow in general (I think too much) and i have no days off work for a while, so i'm not wanting to work on it when i get home. x-x
BTW, Rhyme, i'm sorry for being a turd earlier, i was overwhelmed..i sent a mail but i dunno if that got to you.
