@hey36253625 You're welcome. I think the ponytail on Battler is a nice idea. It's fun trying to adapt their designs.
@hey36253625 The ponytail is especially odd-looking. It sticks up awkwardly, and the gradient is a lot less subtle than in other versions.
@hey36253625 Yeah, a lot of the updated art removed pupilless eyes from the magical characters.
@arcticgalaxies @hey36253625 Maria's are certainly cute, though some of the expressions are a bit wonky. That's not exclusive to her though. In general, I feel like they got better the further into the story got. Chiru sprites like these seem pretty good compared to some of the Episode 1-4 ones.
@hey36253625 She is supposed to be similar to a doll in appearance after all.
On the other hand, the view of the lower half gives the impression of a different type of doll.
