Progress is being made. TheGamerDracul has been doing an amazing job reworking the sprites to reflect the artwork of DarianBelmont.

I received a wonderful comment about the backgrounds but I want you to see what I see. I get creative in Gimp and can only use 4 shades of green. I can assign 4 colors per 8x8 pixel block.
