I'm sure however you end up making Tiny Tum in the game be a sprite it will come out as wonderful as these did!

Welp, made surprising progress on Tiny Tum. Shrank down the Truck sprite and then made all new lines. What I found odd is that Tum was introduced when eye colors were still around, yet he didn't have any himself. So I applied Ink's.

While we can't be sure, some sleuthing shows that the final strip in that arc shows two raccoon cubs and one has yellow eyes. If we then make the assumption that Tum must be the one who still has no irises, we can take another leap of faith with this strip and assume the raccoons are Ink and her cubs (yellow irises match, as does level of devotion to the Opener cult). Since one of the cubs has matching yellow eyes, then following all of our previous assumptions, we can assume the other cub is Tum. Course he's got these steely grey irises, so whatever you think is best I spose ^^

Well that throws a bit of a wrench, doesn’t it? Simple fix at this point, and it seems like the other raccoon only has a slightly different mask. I could finish this sheet with that cub.

And finally finished this sheet. I'll be doing the OCs that are set to appear in this chapter next.

Worked on more. Here's Blu-e, the planned villain of Chapter One. He's mostly a recolor of Falstaff, but he has a somewhat different facial mask pattern.

I get that. In fact, for a time I pushed to have him be a party member for a short time in the post game.

More like a "last resort" for him.

The post game will bring in the silver fox, Reinhardt, as a returning threat, yet he's only signaling the true threat against his will. Written that Blu-e and Reinhardt are almost like brothers, so Blu-e would go to the heroes for help, as there's no one else he could turn to.

Speaking of Reinhardt, here's his sprites.

Took long enough of a break, didn't I? Started on Noah, an original character made for the game, who will appear to aid Peanut's team in the second chapter. Wanted to hear thoughts.

As a refresher, here's Noah's art. His original recolor concept has his back turned to the viewer, so not the best of references.
Baskerville on the far right already has his sprites done.

I was surprised by how well this turned out! Already tested in the engine, looks pretty good. Still several bosses to work on, such as Lacert the cobra, Nevermore the raven, Teoxihuitl, Photos the dolphin, the final boss, Nue and Olde, and the human, Alicia. And then there's their "minions." It's going to be interesting.

Did Lacert the Cobra. Went completely blind, and just ended up handwaving the back-walking sprites. Well, going to work on Efran, the brutal rabbit chieftain, next. Should be comparatively easier, as I do have a Zach sprite I can use.

Managed to get Efran done. His torn ears are kind of tricky to work in. Also had to move him to a different sheet, as the rabbit sprites are bigger than the rest of the cast due to the ears.
