Character Sprites: William and Vera Updated

I got around to updating both William and Vera's walking sprites so they were more accurate to how they should look, within the best I could do given design limitations. These are in a 'before and after' format.

Originally, I made William off pre-set assets, giving him a robe that could also serve as a uniform for the magic school he goes to. However, the rim colors, and certain other details didn't match how he looked in the reference sheet and such. Here, I was able to replace the uniform color with what is close to the reference sheet as I can. I couldn't replicate the intricate patterns that well, given how little space I have. Now is a matter of whether or not to copy the uniform onto the NPCs that also use them, or if his is more custom.

Vera's outfit was originally a pre-set, but then heavily modified to resemble what was already a modified outfit from Rebirth. What I couldn't get right was the hat, but then recently I remember that I had a standalone hat piece from the battle sprites that I could try working here. This one may require some tuning later, but at least it looks closer to what it should be, and the colors match with the rest of the outfit. Also, you might not see it right away, but I did add a couple pixels to represent her ring that she wears constantly. At some point, I'll see if I can add a set of sprites with her staff, since she would like having that out at times.

Wrap-Up

Once I finish getting whatever enemies I have their respective battle animations, I will get to doing some coding to address some of the issues that were brought up, and improve things overall.
