see, you'd think so, but now that i look at it on my phone instead of my computer, it's really not a shading issue. the yellow on the body is a different shade of yellow (darker and warm toned on the totem), and the lighter green for the leaves is also a warmer tone. that sort of jade green on the legs and torso is completely fine tho. i even colorpicked the sprites, it really isn't just shading.
i'm not trying to be rude to the artists or the person i'm replying to, this just striked me as odd.
I was chatting with Cele yesterday when she was streaming on the Discord server and she says these things are decided years in advance, and totem Leavanny was one of those things decided a few years ago. I'm assuming that because of that, too, the difference in sprites results from it.
Spriters improve a lot over time, so even if the Leavanny sprite isn't their original sprite, the totem Leavanny sprite is. I'm assuming they may replace the Leavanny sprite eventually.
