I know, but it is simply easier to condense them together as the "same" sprites, just make a few tweaks to Metal 3.0 and you have shard, or just give Shard 2 hands, and you get Metal Sonic 3.0
actually,metal sonic 3.0 and Shard are not the same characters!
i would love if you could critique this. id:2165214 it's my first attempt at a planet with shading.
