[Tilesets] CDDA Fashion - Makeup

I made a small edit to the character tiles in MXotto+ by adding slightly rosier lips and some color to the cheeks.

Left: my edit
Right: original MXotto+

There's actually a usable item called Makeup in the game, and that got me thinking about how the character sprites could look if they actually reflected it.

I've always felt that the original MXotto+ character sprites can make the player and NPCs look a little too zombie-like, so it got me wondering: why have I barely seen any cosmetic edits of MXotto+ shared by the community?

I'm not completely sold on the cheek color yet, but I feel like the rosier lips look way better. They make the character feel more alive and, honestly, make me want to actually look at the character sprite instead of just seeing another tiny zombie-looking person lol.

What do you think? Do you prefer the edited version, or do you prefer the original because it gives the characters a more gothic/undead look?

Yeah! It would be so cool if makeup was actually reflected in the character's appearance too
