not so fast, here the ultimate solution comes from 1 decade photoshop user  

go to EDIT/PREFERENCES/GENERAL/Image Interpolation:  nearest neighbor

now rotate anything to your heart content, the palette would stay the same

I was just thinking..
It would be cool to see more bonus characters that involve enemies from 2d side-scrollers.

For example, if there was a bonus character much like the Strength Training one by Pots, except it would include strictly 2d side-scrolling game enemies. Such as Skeletons, bats, and axe-armors for a Castlevania themed one, or Metools, robotic-bats, etc, for a Mega Man X themed one.

The reason I suggest this as opposed to just a sprite edit of the Strength Training is because it would be more fun to see enemies that can shoot, fly, or do something besides just punch. The concept would basically be the same though.

It just came to mind, since there are so many chibi 2d side-scrolling characters for Mugen, I thought it would be fun.

Abyss 3 Filtered with Alien BlowUp 2 + Smart Sharpen 2 in game play.

I got my orb finished . Thanks for the offer though.
Abyss is now complete. I'm just waiting for my palette person.
In the mean time I may implement the glowing for form 2 and also AI.

These are the current configurations I have in config.txt
[mcode];trigger1 = (Var(50) := 0) + 1   ; Play as Abyss (1st Form)
;trigger1 = (Var(50) := 1) + 1      ; Play as Abyss (2nd Form)
;trigger1 = (Var(50) := 2) + 1      ; Play as Abyss (3rd Form)
trigger1 = (FVar(24) := 1) + 1   ; Abyss (3rd Form) - Scale X
trigger1 = (FVar(25) := 1) + 1   ; Abyss (3rd Form) - Scale Y
;trigger1 = (FVar(15) := 1) + 1   ; Abyss (2nd Form) - Fog
;trigger1 = (FVar(16) := 1) + 1   ; Abyss (3rd Form) - Fog
trigger1 = (FVar(17) := 1) + 1   ; Abyss (1st Form) - Resurrection
trigger1 = (FVar(18) := 1) + 1   ; Abyss (2nd Form) - Resurrection
trigger1 = (FVar(30) := 145) + 1   ; Abyss (1st Form) - Defense
trigger1 = (FVar(31) := 100) + 1   ; Abyss (2nd Form) - Defense
trigger1 = (FVar(32) := 150) + 1   ; Abyss (3rd Form) - Defense
trigger1 = (FVar(35) := 1) + 1   ; Timer Freeze[/mcode]

what's the point of drawing on a transparent paper, and get it scanned, since the back of your scanner lid is white anyway?

I use normal paper, and sometime cream colored paper, and desaturate the scanned sketch in photoshop, scan at high density 600dpi would be enough, and resize it into smaller size later in photoshop (or whatever program later) if needed, but always scan at high dpi

I probably won't make the first release Hi-Res for all forms.

Yeah, make a release with none in high-res, some people don't like how filters end up. I'll be waiting to see how the last form with HR filter looks like in motion.

Update report:
- Add the sphere. I need to photoshop a sphere. Shouldn't be too hard.

yes plz do
make Devil Sprites for me and I'll code them or if you want to code do it yourself
