Can't remember if I mentioned this before, but this mod is on hiatus. Basically, I've just been doing other things, weather they be unrelated to SRB2 or not. The most recent progress I did make related to this mod, though, I think you'll enjoy. It probably won't be happening for a while, but after remembering that the menu sprites in Sonic Pocket Adventure was basically SA1 era Uekawa art in motion, I mustered up the courage to attempt a resprite, which in turn motivated Blur to do some clean up. You can check out the original sprites from SPA
here, and as for the ones Blur and I came up with... this is as far as we got that I can show off at the moment.

Multiple references were taken into account for these, with front and back being loosely based off of the SA1 model sheet Uekawa drew, and the I looked at Shadow for reference on Super Sonic, which is why he looks the way he does from the diagonal front view. Also, chances are, this means that the other Dreamcast characters are cancelled, and the plans for them will be repurposed for other projects.
