Hack description

Simple sprite hack to change Simon's sprites to the ones from CV Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate. Other sprites like the whip upgrade and big heart were changed to look more like Mirror of Fate as well

Doesn't really improve the experience. The "new" spritework isn't very good. The color choice for Simon has poor contrast and his animations are very inconsistent (moving or inscrutable decorations). The new whip and heart sprites are very simple in nature, which wouldn't be a problem if they still looked like something more than two shapes. A full hack that you're submitting to Romhacking.net or any other site should be more than a mediocre sprite change.

Don't let this discourage you from hacking or spritework. I've looked at your portfolio, and you very obviously want to get your spritework out there. Try joining a pixel-art based community like TVGR. Focus your efforts, and work on improving one thing instead of making many things.
