Unique sprites for each job class

The amazing sprite artist finalbossblues released a side-view battler pack in the Time Fantasy style.

Using this art pack as the base, I grafted my characters existing faces onto other costumes. Each character now has a unique Adventurer outfit. There’s also a shared outfit for each branch of the job tree: Magic-users, Healers, Fighters, and Thieves. That’s 8 different outfits across 4 different characters, and it adds a ton of unique flavour to the game.

Even with a pre-existing base, it’s a time consuming process to create each sprite set.

I decided to give each outfit a pop of red as its primary colour, to keep continuity across the playable characters.
