▍ ❝   STYLE GUIDE.
It is important to follow this to a T, with little to no exceptions that stray from this guide. Specifically when it comes the style, coloring choices and the background styles for HEREAFTER and the main mod section. The style guide has been made specifically to be followed, and if you want to stray from it, you must have director and co-director approval. Please do not overcomplicate sprite work, or take any creative liberties without approval or mod team discussion!▍ ❝   COLORS, LINES AND STYLE.
There is a set for colors for both the real world and HEREAFTER sections. It is encouraged to NOT need to use other colors than the ones picked, and if you do please make sure it aligns with the provided color palettes.
The line work for the mod art is important! It conveys different emotions, perspectives, etc. Please make sure it isn't thin and to use varying line weights, as well as to use the respective brushes for each type of art it belongs to (brush for spriting should not be used for the flashbacks or promo artwork, etc etc).
The style used throughout the mod is to follow Andy's as previously discussed. Please make sure to consult Andy if you're not sure how something would be drawn in his style.
NOTE: only ONE character is immune to this style guide and that is FLAnimal, as he is living concept art!

NOTE: THIS IS NOT SUBJECT TO CHANGE.His whole story's thing is that he is the embodied representation of premature death. He represents death itself that was untimely and unseen. he is both the soul and corpse of any bf in any story that has seen their fate sealed before it was supposed to. the bf he faces in his song is actually one of these boyfriends, and he chooses to guide and consume his soul to his version of afterlife, HEREAFTER.
apparitions or visions/flashbacks of any bf that's died in a horrible manner can be seen through his face.
FriEND is supposed to meet the souls of BFs at death's door, guiding them and becoming one, so they can rest in their own level of Heaven. he is often mysterious and the last "face" any of them will ever see, but he has no evil or malicious intent. he is just trying to guide them through the grief, pain and sorrow they just experienced. He's as mysterious as he is caring and gentle.

OBI before his death was a guy who had everything, friends, a boyfriend who loves him, but he fears none of it its true, actually he believes it is in fact not true, and they don't really care for him as much as he does. Once he decided to take a drive through the woods he goes through a car crash, losing his life without being able to seek for help. As he's now dead he is able to see the aftermath of the events and notices how everyone he loves is worried sick and sees every single thing they did for him while he was still alive. With this, bf notices how wrong he was about his life, him believing he had nothing when he had everything, realizing too late.
