Ezra's Story Npc Tweaks

Description
(Note: this is my first mod, sorry if stuff is broken or something looks off)

Cutebound is overall a good mod, but something that always bothered me (other than the Avians getting replaced with Harpies) is how all of the character portraits go full anime mode for no real reason. This mod seeks to fix that by overriding them with tweaked versions of the original portraits.

2.0 Update: On-top of the content added above, all applicable NPC sprites have been changed to match their portraits (including all of Nox's boss sprites).

Notable changes from the originals:

- Esther looks older and her glasses aren't as unreasonably huge

- Nuru looks less weird

- Koichi doesn't look depressed anymore (literally only like 3 pixels added but sdlhajdfkhasklfh)

- Nox finally practiced self care

- Tonauac's eyes are no longer beady

- Lana isn't as deadpan

- Baron looks overall more interesting


If you dislike the changes made to Tonauac, check out this version of the mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3271583116


These sprite changes are heavily inspired by Cutebound, and while it's not required, I heavily recommend downloading it: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=761242493

Nuru's NPC sprite design takes inspiration from these two mods, take a look if you want some consistency (note: these two are mutually exclusive with eachother and will overide/be overidden with Cutebound due to both of them changing the head sprites): https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1586956672 https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=734168716

Captain Noble's sprites are unchanged, check out this mod if you're interested in having them updated too: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1776027675

EDIT: Nevermind I just saw the no Tonuac version of the mod, thank you so much!!

Did that to give him a bit of a smile, just looks a little off due to the neck definition line being the same color I think.

Wait I might be wrong, but I dunno. Eitherway it looked interesting :p.

One thing though, for Koichi, I noticed that you added three pixels to an already formed frown. It looked strange to me cause his lips move downward and it looks like you sprited an extra lip, lol.

Thanks! Glad to see atleast one person likes it lol.

I think the Tonauac eye change, as someone who hasn't used cutebound, looks wholesome! I do think it fits his personality, he's kind and just a bit clueless, but I think removing the deadpan bird eyes gives him a bit more!
Love the spritework! Going into my server modlist.

Maybe lol, they've been updated since you originally commented though so it might be that
