The very first rule on the submission page is that edits aren't allowed. This is true even if the majority of the work is your own. There are other sites where edits are accepted, but PJ's thing is original work.
I edited the body of one of the sprites but i mostly made the head from the ground up using klonoa and some 90s anime stuff as reference.
im happy in how it turned out but i wish i could have made this better...
When you say you used Sonic Mania sprites as a "basis", do you mean as a general style reference, or did you copy parts of them, or did you edit them to create this?
im sorry
i actually didnt remember that..
i will delete the upload
this wont happen again
