I thought of a funny idea. How about Link and Epona as a Sophia skin?!!! Epona can be a 8bit version of the sprites found in Minish Cap.
Dark Sophia is a great collection of most dark skins but this one is my favorite. Toad and peach sprites haven't yett added. Don't worry, It is known as finished. It has colors from Dark Samus. Later an SNES and maybe a Gameboy will also be added. You can also make these versions by yourselves and I will check if it has colors from dark Samus otherwise it will not be great.
I'm all for palette swaps, only if they make sense to have. Dark Samus, Dark Link, and Dark Pit make sense to have because they are REAL characters. Dark SOPHIA isn't a real character. However, if you redesign the sprites an 8bit version of SOPHIA IV could be made. She comes the Sega Genesis game, Blaster Master 2, and is also blue!
This is Sophia III from Blaster Master 2 NES has some recolores sprites, a new missle sprite from glad0s game called Super Blaster Master and a new swimming sprite with cells. Not to be confused with the Sega Genesis. This one has jumplee frogs as toad and peach. Green is Peach and Blue is Toad.
There was NEVER a Blaster Master 2 released on the NES, only the Sega Genesis. And this is what she looks like:
Looks great! You should make this a Mario or Luigi skin and use other Mario Costumes from SM Maker: https://www.spriters-resource.com/wii_u/supermariomaker/sheet/69695/ https://www.spriters-resource.com/wii_u/supermariomaker/sheet/69701/ Or Link skins from Hyrule Warriors: https://www.spriters-resource.com/wii_u/hyrulewarriors/sheet/68248/
Sonic boll is alive and kicking, you should be making skins for that tbh. It's not like it's making it in smbc, the game's dead.
Ok now it's on hold. But, it currently has Mario, sonic, tails, and knuckles, and you can go up to world 2-4. You can put whatever skins you want in there. Apparently, he's not continuing working on it until later in 2017. Edit: oh, and the planned characters are bowser, peach, Luigi, and metal sonic.
