#and it would be alot more beginner-friendly and easy for those less artistically inclined to add characters when the baseline style is much-

[greetingsfromuranus]

how does the more detailed sprite look compared to the old one? does the extra rendering look nice or would it just make the character more cluttered?

i feel like the more rendered one looks more professional, but the simpler one i feel is a bit more stylized & cute, would be easier to work with, and can create a more distinct/unique look. what do you guys think?

[ignore the color changes between them, mainly focused on the shading and all that] [also, i added them both on a light and dark background because i know that different context can change how the shapes are interpreted]
