• Hey everyone happy Christmas Eve we're aware of what's happened with the source code so to keep this simple absolutely don't post it on the site or use it to make mods with (it's not particularly preferable toward this end anyway) and tread lightly in general until we see how this settles, thanks to all and have a great holiday season -DT

Absolutely, but tomorrow, I'm tired.
Yeah I figured you were going off original for the feet, the issue is that those feet really only work with that resolution, even the official double res sprites look a little dumb.

Also I would shade the eyelids if I were you, it looks weird going from shadowed eyes to unshadowed eyelids, assuming they are not completely flat.

I didn't realize it until you said so, but you're right. When I go back to fix the feet, I'll fix his eyelids in the blink animation.

I'm not sure whether I should just darken the whole area a shade or two or actually attempt rounded shading. I'll try both and see what looks better.

Edit: They appear to be mostly flat, so I am not sure whether shading is necessary.

Good, though I'd be careful about adding lighted spots on a character, it's always a bit risky. Sure, it's a part of shading, but sometimes it looks good to just darken certain parts.

You should watch out for pillow shading, I'm seeing it esp. with the first picture.

Well that's a pretty useful resource. I'll be sure to read it carefully.

Yo, where does your Display Pic come from? It's adorable and I'd like to see the full version if I can.

You wouldn't be the first to use that as an Avatar. I don't remember who, but someone else did use it before.
