Apologies to anyone anticipating Magus, but I decided to redo Robo first.  I've also updated Marle, Crono and Lucca slightly (biggest change is to Marle's eye; to whoever is importing the portraits, only Marle has a modified palette from my previous versions).



Feel free to suggest improvements to Robo.

Regarding Magus, do we prefer a somewhat tragic expression, or fierce?

I love the new Robo.

That's a tough call on Magus, I think I would prefer fierce though I think. I feel like the general population would prefer that and just get angry of a "sad looking" magus.

Fantastic Robo. Took awhile to grow on me (I really liked the first Robo port) but it did. I'll reinsert all these in one swoop when you've got them done to your liking Darkken.

A fierce profile of Magus might be interesting. In Prophet's Guile we used CuteLucca's "Dark Matter" portrait for example:

Fierce it is.  Thanks for the suggestion Faust.  I avoided the profile though as it would have stood out from the perspective of the other portraits.

Kick-aaaaass! I'll wait for everyone else's input before inserting these, but you continue to outdo yourself Darkken.

Fantastic work! This Magus is more expressive and much better than Toriyama's.

The only thing that could be improved, IMHO, is that his ears (and Marle's) are a bit small compared to Crono's, or actually it's Crono's ears that are a bit big compared to the others, since his portrait is closer to the original Toriyama portrait. But this is a really minor detail and I definitely appreciate your work :) Don't worry about fixing this if it would take away from King Zeal and the other sprites.

Thanks for the comments everyone, glad you like them.

'99: Good catch on the ears; it's a quick fix so I made Crono's ears smaller. Just refresh the page and the portrait will show the updates.

I'll switch focus to King Zeal soon.

Any final alterations need to be made to these before insertion work begins? Speak Monday or forever hold your peace. They're going in Tuesday night hopefully.

Akira Toriyama ain't got nothin' on Darkken.

Standalone portrait patch complete. Wonder at their surreal beauty!
