Apologies once again for the extended absence. Things should hopefully be going smoother from here on out because I am now working with 1oxnes (who made some very nice SVE seasonal portraits) to finish the rest of the characters. It's a big help and also I'd feel bad for slacking off too much so it's good for motivation too.
Unrelated sidenote, of all the characters in the mod I think Gus and Willy are the ones people are freaked out by the most due to their hollow, soulless, and empty gazes that are devoid of hope. When I was drawing them my main inspiration for the eyes was actually Toriyama character designs like the Dragon Quest Slime, Mr. Popo, and Zen-Oh, so I didn't really think much about how it would be perceived. I've seen some interpret Gus in particular as having a dead stare due to having to deal with the endless nightmare that it must be to operate the saloon. As far as I'm concerned, that's the backstory I'm gonna go with now as well.
Play Gu(t)s theme.
Amazing job as always! But be sure to don't overdo it, take your time, we'll be waiting patiently.
