Enchlore's new adventures

Hey there! It's been a long long time, hasn't it?

I had a sprite thread but I kinda disappeared from the forum and it sank to the bottom of the forum, so I thought it would be better to make a new thread since what I'm doing now is pretty disconnected to what I was doing before.

So, the reason I disappeared is simply that I lost interest in spriting and video games in general because I was off music-ing. But recently I got an itch to be productive again, so I started a new and less ambition project. Specifically, a Super Mario Bros. X episode because that's simple enough for me.

I want to take advantage of the upcoming new version, since it allows for smaller file size for graphics as it revamps the graphic systems. So I intend to change every graphic because that's fun to me.

I started out trying to transform the default Super Mario Bros. 3 Mario into a more modern looking version:


Does it look too weird? I'm trying to stay within the same size of the original sprite, and I plan on changing the palette later (I'm using the SMB3 palette as a placeholder), as that would be slightly troublesome because I'm colorblind.
