You thought I lost interest and gave up on this project, didn't you? Well, I just had to attend to the Secret Santa, a big commission, and the VG Resource Advent Calendar before I resumed full production on this beast of a project!

Besides adding a lot more outlines I intend to color, I also reverted the old outlines back to colored ones. I know it sounds a little bit like backtracking, but there's a good reason and a small (but critical) change applied. Virt told me that using black outlines (like how it is in the official artwork as opposed to that actual game sprites) is not very appealing and my original way is far more interesting. Of course, he also mentioned that some of the original outlines (particularly the ones in the face) are way too saturated. I tried decreasing the saturation for the outlines, but I only managed to make it look good for for a handful of colors. I hope you don't mind that I left the rest the same, Virt.
Any changes you guys would suggest so far?
