A slight delay

When art has to be reformatted it's never good.

We've been dealing with some great pieces of character art, that, at the last I should have edited for size a long time ago.  Take, for instance, Gavin, the werewolf demigod character:




If you'll notice, he's a giant amount of pixels wide.  Almost 600 pixels wide.  The whole iPhone screen is about 640 pixels wide.

Clearly there's an issue.

So, I currently have our artist reformatting, and slightly redesigning the character.   The new base Gavin sketch looks like this:




There's certain things I like about this a lot more, there's a lot more action in this pose, but also it takes away from some of the moodiness of the character.  However, it's the proper pixel ratio, which is something you have to deal with on a hand-sized touch screen.
