Okay, so I'm working on a character mod, and their base design has gloves with visible cuffs - sometimes when he emotes, these cuffs are in the wrong place, as I didn't have a reference to where they should be when I edited his hand sprites.
But if I had the sprites of a hand skin that has cuffs as well, such as the hand covers, unprotective gloves, buckled gloves or driving gloves, I'd be able to use those as a reference. I understand that the image files for skins are kept under tight wraps for good reason, so I can't just get them out myself - but is there a way to get my hands on these, in a way that won't upset the devs?
For the record, I do NOT intend to trace these. Tracing and referencing are not the same.
(Please don't make fun of me because it's Shadow the Hedgehog. I know. I've heard it all before.)
