Sprite Development Update! (Patreon)

I actually have something to show! We no longer have to have the horrible joke that the sprites are never getting done!
Now I'm 100% not doing these. Those that are already familiar with the style will know who the artist is without me saying, but for those that don't, it's a wonderful artist that goes by Ghostlink. They've been providing some of the highest quality fan art in our community for a while, and what really drew me towards them as a potential sprite artist was how they were able to capture the characters as true to form as possible. Body shapes, statures, even the content of the art they provided.
Now I don't know specifics of when these will all be done. At the moment we're still going through sketching and revisions, things are still being cleaned up of course, but currently I'm very impressed and pleased with their work. Hopefully you like them too! I'm giving them for the most part unrestricted artistic freedom in how to pose the sprites so they feel the most alive too, so expect maybe an extra pose or two on top of emotions.
I'm expecting that not everyone will like the new sprites, and while unfortunate, and while I'm open to hearing critique on how they're looking, ultimately I'm going to decide what I think looks best for my boys and how they should've been depicted. Sorry it's taken this long to get them done guys, I just really didn't like the prospect of doing Hoss's mane.
...I mean redoing the sprites multiple times. Yeah, let's go with that.
