@Erikin84 has worked alongside Tyadran in Discord Chat in order to help add some much needed improvements to the sprite set, and Max is looking better than ever!
And given the fact that Erikin84 is far more qualified at adding that extra layer of pixel art polish to sprite sets, he has also graciously taken the helm as resource author, so he's your man if you have any future feedback for the set.
Thanks entirely to @Erikin84, the set is now available in a reduced size format and is a much better option. The original 'Big Max' set will remain, but I still highly encourage using Erikin84's improved set.
