Updated Main Cast Sprites

So, the longer I work on We Will Not See Heaven, the better I'm getting at drawing. From making a truly stupid number of CGs, to side characters, I've come quite a ways since starting the project last year. Meaning that the main character sprites are no longer up to my standards. So... redesigns!

Well, not really redesigns, per say. Rather, streamlining and standardizing the art styles, making their poses more dynamic and inline with the rest of the world. The old sprites, shown on the left there, are both overly detailed in places, and stiff in others. The heads/faces in particular lack a bit of... humanity, I guess, in the old sprites, at least in my opinion. Look at Simone! He's gotten so excited and cute!

Perhaps part of my thought process here is now that I've written many many chapters with these characters, I understand them better and what sort of vibes they should give off. Simone is very hype! Tyzian is larger-than-life! Mel is a bit aloof and distant!

There's some part of me worried that people will prefer the older sprites... but having played through what's coded thus far again with the new sprites, I think the game is in a much nicer, more dynamic, and polished state than it was before. Let me know what you think! Back to work wheeeee!
