Agreed!

You know, I think it might cool to use the pencil art as the _actual_ art.

(I was reading that the creator of Yoshi's Island was encouraged to make
his game look more 'real', since Donkey Kong Country (which was pre-rendered
using 3D ray tracing) had just come out and was so popular.  His response
was to make it look even MORE cartoony and sketched.  I had never played
Yoshi's Island, but looked at a screenshot the other day.)

Since we're dealing with 16bpp or 24bpp on fast-ish machines, I think
we could do PNGs with very cartoony looking graphics. :^)
(Like the large JPEG)


Or should we stick to 'sprites', like the small PNG that was posted?
