Thank you, it makes me happy that you liked the challenge!
If you want to, you can post the texture edit, in case people want to use it. I don't have a problem with people posting the texture pages, even if it's only small edits.
When it comes to item shadows, that is a great idea, and I will add it in the next update. Also, in the next update, the cowgirls will no longer be moved by belts, because several people have had issues with it.
