Touche, my good man. Alright, I've got four requests (you don't have to do them all, of course):
1) Cutscene art. Basically, recreate the post-Metal Sonic scene to scale in hand-drawn art. Here's the third frame of it here:

If you can't get to that point or otherwise, let me know and I'll send over the whole thing. It also helps to have references for Ashe and Julius, just in case.
2) Character sprites: This fellow, who goes by the name of Junepi. Nothing much, just some standing, running, kicking, in the air and on the ground, pretty much it.
3) Background art: An underground laboratory, with a mix of the styles of Classic Mega Man, Mega Man Zero and Mega Man ZX. Tiles and backgrounds would be lovely.
4) Sprite editing: Remember back in Super Castlevania 4 when Simon could whip in eight directions? That was awesome. Why can't Julius do that? Basically, edit the multi-directional whipping from Simon's sheet to make him look like Julius. Ignore the bottom half of the sheet, they're for stairs.
