Eh, a bit more ambitious of praise than I feel I can live up to, but thanks, Kenny.

Totally. I keep wanting to say it's the in-game anti-aliasing that does it, though I'm only tangentially aware of 3D rendering terminology and I'm sure I'm not precisely correct on it. Either way, yeah, it's something to get a feel for. I found that a lot of the sprites where I softened harsh details and made them look much better up close actually looked worse than before in-game.
