Managed to find some time to work on Grunge tonight! Tough Girl Expressions are done. Here are Tara's. 

Additionally... the Nerds are here! All that's left for Group pics are the teachers, drama kids, and the punks. I still have a TON of expressions left to do-- Nerds, teachers, drama kids, punks, as well as general NPCs. They're going to have fewer expressions than the high school characters and main characters... maybe one or two at most, so I can get through them quickly. 

Oh, also, I hated Seri's character image. I did my best with pixel art, but it was... it was garbage, y'all. Garbage. So I redid her and used a more realistic hair colors tool I found online. Thank you to Zinx10. Without your mods, Seri would look... god. I originally drew her hair in a way that she looks like she literally pulled lint out of a dryer vent and called it a wig. 

SLIGHT spoilers below I guess, but here's a comparison of before and after! 

I also got some work done on the music/soundtrack for Grunge. I recently purchased an RPG Light Visual Novel sound pack, which has a ton of sound effects and music I plan to use. I'm still researching other rock/grunge tracks I can use in the game as well! 

After that I'll be focusing my attention on stills and battler images, and then FINALLY, onto revamping the battle system. I know that some of you gave me feedback that the battles were not challenging, were boring, etc. I was so focused on main story that I haven't spent as much time developing that. I'm looking forward to making this game fun and exciting in a lot of ways. 

Anyways, enjoy the Nerds.
