Small bonus fact - while most characters I’ve draw before I try and do completely different poses, ninji is meant to be a direct remake of this sprite I made back 5 or 6ish months ago
Definitely a massive improvement to me

Also to give credit where it is due, I used Cresta (@ Crestamorph) as a bit of a reference point when spriting Buster Beetle.
If they see this post and aren't happy with me using their model as reference point they I'm happy to redo the sprite if they so wish

Of course if Super Mariomon also goes with Torpedo Ted for a split evolution for Bullet Bill.. throw it onto the pile of really funny coincidences lmao
