Wow, I missed several replies while I was at college today--thank you, everyone, I really appreciate your input! Now to reply one at a time, essentially, so responses don't get jumbled. owo
@zxin: Duly noted about the 2x Res Mod, but from what I've read thus far, it sounds just a liiiiittle cumbersome. I may stick to making the HD sprites for Cave Story+, for those that have it, and seek to learn the smaller, original style as well for the original CS. Thank you for the thought though, I appreciate it. 'w'
@Doors: Actually, that sounds like good advice in terms of attempting to mimic the smaller style--thank you very much, I'll have to try it! 8D On another note, would it be pestering to PM you, and get a bit of input on the HD sprites I've done so far?
