In the lull between playthroughs I've been working some more on my Shining Force 2 mod. Just cleaning up the graphics bit by bit is taking a long time although it's nice to work on my pixel art skill set. Here's a comparison of portrait edits thus far. The original ones are in the left column while my edited versions are in the right column.
Mostly this has just been removing eyebrows. It's a style to leave them (and eyes) in with transparency but the Genesis simply can't do transparent blending to make the style look nice. I also changed color 0 to something that's not the same black used for outlining. This doesn't do anything in-game (color 0 is always transparent on the Genesis) but it saves a lot of headache for me.
