Super Star Ultra Project - Phase 2

[Omegakyogre]

Since I will probably get bothered more about the circlets again I attempted to make my own. The left is mine, the middle is the prototype and the right is fire kirby's.

THAT's more like it: Custom work. Now, some pointers.
- You shouldn't use black on the inside of the sprite, and because it's going to overlap with Kirby, don't use black anywhere the circlet is going to be over him. This will require some time and planning to get right, and it doesn't have to be perfect (on some canon circlet sprites, there's not a full black outline even in places where the circlet doesn't overlap with Kirby), but you don't want to be more than a pixel or two off here or it'll look weird and out-of-style.
- The shading's a bit off, you want to make sure your light source is coming from up above the sprite, and thus shadows would be lower. Also, use those slightly darker shades to put more details on the circlet; try to give the observer the illusion of the swirl on the circle on either side of the diamond (it may not work, so you might just have to use a circular indentation to take its place), and experiment making the middle gem diamond-shaped as seen in the Kirby's Air Ride Tornado Kirby reference picture Geo posted up above.

If anyone should do Gooey, i'd nominate Kyogre. He's boss at that sorta thing.

I did contemplate grabbing Gooey, I'm just not sure how smart it would be to split myself between the Smash Project Gooey and this Gooey. Who knows, it might be easier, as a pose made in one sheet could possibly be used in the other sheet, just edited to fit either style.
It's up to PH to fix Gooey so we don't have to worry about it either way.

EDIT: Oh, I got so caught up typing, I forgot what I came here for. Acro should be finalized now, I smoothed out his Idle animation (I won't post it, the GIF I get ruins the quality and apparently there's no program on the face of the planet that can create GIFs without the god-awful color loss that I get other than Photoshop, which is on my other machine), and I added a flinch / death frame (I knew I was missing something!), so it should be finished and ready for submission unless anyone has any qualms about it. Speaking of which, where's DrShnaps? I haven't seen him in a while, and the front page kinda needs to be updated.
