Recently, I remembered  Dreaming Geno doing sprites in the Mother 2 style, which inspired me on doing my own.
Even mo recently, this appeared on m YouTube reccomendations, too.

Yes,  FattyDragonite truly, honestly designed that mascot.

I decided to combine both inspirations: I wanted to be the first in doing fanart of Reg, while I wanted to get going in doing the Mother 2 style.

Once I applied that style, I actually observed certain subtleties: Mother 2 did that 'walking' effect by pushing certain asymmetries on sprites that normally, but not always, had a defined middle line instead of being symmetrical on both sides of the 16 × 24 sprite. Similarly, t head takes at least 11, sometimes 15, of the 24 vertical pixels. Other parts include the outline black actually being a very dark brown and black areas being outlined with green. I implemented this by having both Reg's ears and shoes be that outline brown, though demarked by other colours. I made his feet and legs rather narrow, since that was the way they were in the original design. Getting his paws and arms were difficult. I believe that I managed to make a balance between drawn and implied outlines while managing the details of his neck fur and whiskers. I also managed the tail, though I feel tha the tail is better off shown in side and back views.

I could probably add more detail, bu those would have polluted the clarity of the sprite. Even then, I am surprised at how Reg fits the Mother 2 sprite style.

I plan on doing a full walkabout in the future.
