I am curious if there are any other artists who want to try and make images that have interchangeable elements that can be refined. It might be possible to share PDF's. I like to work in higher resolutions so I can scale images down to improve quality so that I can sort of make whatever size adjustements I want without quality loss, and that is also why I am not using vectors or anti aliasing. I am also working to try and match the original art style (or at least the best looking parts of it) at a lower overall cost, and that has been primarily though traditional single layer blending for an element, than using clever masking to make the outlines, and I should be able to then rescale elements and have them mesh up reasonably well. Obviously this is very much a side project WIP, and so not all of the elements have finished product blending. The least noticable is definitely the 9 elements that make up the lower body, whereas the upper body elements are not blended at all, as it has to be iterated on many times to get it right, and properly smooth looking despite having hard edges between elements (hard edges mask better, learned this the hard way). Also, I made a super quick prototype to show element swapping. You can see the hard masking for uncompleted elements, but I just wanted to demonstrate a proof of concept.
