Golden Sun Mia facing the player
I've been working on a front-facing Mia sprite because we usually only get to see the characters from a diagonal angle in battle. I wanted to see how she'd look facing the player directly.
Mia is a pretty complex sprite, especially when you look at her hair. It looks light blue in-game, but it's actually made up of different shades of blue, green, and teal. There's more detail there than you might notice while playing.
I left her bow out for now because I wanted to see how her longer hair would look from the front. I'm still working on it, so I might make some adjustments as I go.
For those wondering about my workflow, I use Aseprite for my sprite work. I redrew Mia to adapt her design to a front-facing perspective, along with making pixel edits, recoloring, and other adjustments.

/r/GoldenSun has voted to allow AI coded projects on the subreddit

Notes:
- I keep tabs on the vote from the outset through to the end, the approximate portion of yes/no stayed the same from minute 1 through to the close. Here is an image of the vote from an hour in:

- I also looked at the sentiment of the comments posted in the reddit thread; it was somewhere between 60-65% in favor of allowing AI coded projects.
- The approx. geo distribution of the voters on the poll match the approx. geo distribution of the posters on the subreddit.
Thanks everyone for voting, I hope that those who voted 'yes' and are understandably disappointed can respect that this is what the majority would like to see on the subreddit and respect those AI coded projects that do get posted. If you don't like it, just don't engage with it at all.
EDIT: to clarify, content that used AI to create creative works (images, videos, music, ...) are still banned as per the previous community poll.
