Of course it is... I'm unfortunately on a trip starting tomorrow, so you aren't gonna hear from me for about a week. That was pretty badly timed. Sorry about that. Well, I'll get back to you after I return and hopefully send you a piece!
(I didn't want to post it here but I doubt you would have caught it on the talk page considering recent times... haha.)

Yeah, I couldn't agree more with the timing. I was just starting to get things done and then that happens. Well, don't worry about it, I'll manage. See you in about a week or so then!

Minor update. Been getting a few miscellaneous stuff done lately. The computer's back up and running and looks like it'll stay that way for now.
I have two small things to show. One, I gave Smash a new battle stance.
The previous one was so old, it was the first set of sprites I made for Smash when I redesigned his hair. It was old and gritty and I could do much better nowadays. I tried touching it up a bit over time, but it was still very "eh" to me. I could've remade it entirely, but I figured I might as well go with a newer, less complicated stance. Here's an animated version, with clothes.
And two, I changed the temporary save point from green to yellow.
Don't worry, the green one still exists. It's now a Dungeon save point.

Wow, I wish my spiriting skills were half as good as yours. Your animations are very clean and flowing. Mine are slightly blocky, although I haven't done any in a while. Maybe it's time I started making more Phys animations.

Thanks. (And welcome back!) It takes a lot of work and attention-to-detail to get it just right. Pulled an all-nighter on it.
EDIT: Also, about those Kartilla mines...I found a couple of enemies that I felt really fit here.
Spoiler:
Grounder and Mad Mole. What enemy could be more fitting for a place like this? Watch out for the Mad Mole's "Shroomthrow". It can confuse you.

Smash The Echidna in regards to Tab's old charset appearing in a cutscene wrote:
Old Tab there was pretty...uhh, yeah. Think you could get her charset done sometime soon? I've been really having to grasp here in the cutscenes, since unless I want her to suddenly revert to a Gizmo recolor, I can't have her walk.
Seriously, Kapus. I know this seems random to bring up now, but can you please finish Tab's charset? Or at the very least make the sprites so that I can finish it? I've been going back and forth between working on characters and fixing up the story, and I honestly can't take anything seriously with that choppy Gizmo recolor running around. Tab is literally the first character to actually join your party; she should've been done ages ago. I can't finish fixing these scenes without her being finished.
With that off my chest, lemme just say that Splice only has four animations (not counting any extras) left to finish; and only one of them would actually take a while to finish. I could have three of them done by the end of the week, given enough working time.
EDIT: I greatly overestimated the time it'd take to finish them. I'm already 6/15th done with the last animation; the other three were done in one sitting. So yeah, I could potentially have not just 3 of them done, but Splice as a whole finished by the end of the week.
EDIT 2: The only thing I haven't done is make every one of his daggers compatible with his alternate class. But I could work on that as I go along, since I still have to make all the different weapons for everyone anyway. I can now start making that Character Complete video.
Also...(Spoiler)
Spoiler:
There's probably only two people here who would remember this. Back on Sonic World, I agreed to let someone's character make a cameo appearance as an optional boss. SuperLightning's "Zatic the Hedgehog" has been sitting in the database for a long time, waiting to be used. I don't even know where SL is these days, nor do I know what inspired me to go back and update him, however I made his battle a little bit more interesting by giving him a second phase that triggers after a certain amount of time has passed. In doing so I created a new sprite, based off of SL's last sprite he gave to me before Sonic World died, (and with a base used by truebladeedge on deviantart.)
Here it is.
Old------------------New
Defeating him will give you two special items; one being his sword. Where can you find him? That's a secret~

Hmm... Is there a quality decrease or did you add effects to the song?

Actually there's a quality decrease due to my movie maker which exports HD videos breaking. This was made with Camtasia Studio 5, which is both outdated and I'm terribly unfamiliar with.

Subject: Character Complete! Splice Himself! Fri Jun 06, 2014 12:43 pm
Please turn on Annotations before watching! Yes, it's finally time, for the main man himself to shine. This took an absurdly long time to finish. And after all this, I once again have to apologize for the sudden drop in quality. My movie makers broke, so I ended up having to use an older version on my laptop to put this together, (since I'm not gonna use Camtasia Studio 5 for anything remotely complicated.) That and more than halfway through I noticed that I was missing some footage. It wasn't really anything the video hadn't already covered though, but that's why Dynamite Dagger is only shown once and the main battle switches from the badniks over to the thugs near the end.
Despite all that, I originally expected to get this out sometime next week, so that's fortunate. Now, more than ever, do I feel like I deserve a break. But I don't wanna stop now; Summer vacation is only just beginning! There's still a lotta stuff I can and want to do.
Might as well toss in a couple of credits here at the end. That Crawla Commando is from SRB2 (the blue badnik in the front that Splice attacks first.) Some of the fire effects, namely the ones in Heat Wave, I ripped those from the mugen character "Yuri Lowell" (who's from Tales of Vesperia.) I dunno where the original source of those effects came from, but just throwing that out there just in case.
