I think I was stupid, back in 6th grade no hold on. The main reason why I seperated the black outline with the main color was so I could tint the color, using the Brightness effect. But, since the clone limit was hit, I couldn't add the highlights. In hindsight, I should've made a outline a single sprite to be overlaid on top of the colored sprites, to give room for the highlights. But I gave up before I could do that, so.. lost cause, I guess.
Creating the idea was half-inspired by MegaHog, and just the general idea of: "what if the two guys that can commit identity theft.. steal eachothers' work, too?"
