It is just the same perspective styles as the old one, as it happened
those who were getting images and creating images were producing flat
cartoony images. As the set matured, cartoony sets formed the majority
of images =).

I thought that the

      clsc set was the clasic set and should not be modified,
     
     
Hmmm, this is an unforseen problem =). No any set is modifiable, the
clsc was simply refering to its style.. perhaps a better name 'could' be
come up with, but after we spent a few days thinking about it we choose
this, and since it is all coded..... =).

which is why I

This is what most people do, there are very few artists out there who
are willing to work on games (for free), who can just draw something =).

I am trying to strongarm a fellow into doing

      more toonish stuff though which is why I brought this up.

      you are in it will use the base picture/anim riight?
     
     
Even if there are currently graphics for it, show them to me and I will
add them if we agree it is better, otherwise we will usually just make
another monster or find a better use for it. I can prtty much guarentee
your artwork isn't going to go to waste.
