The companions being "bulky" is intended. Their sprites mostly not representing any class is also intended, because I don't want to bind people into having the companions play with specific combat style.
The sprites of the companions are quite basic intentionally, because I don't really want to spend too much time shading a companion when designing them.

You can fix the "bulky companions" issue, by speaking with them, going on talk about other things, and ask them to be of your size.

(should of said these on the main page srry)

not even "doing classes" because who really needs that i just mean some sprite making and shading strategy's and maybe some tools I think I bungled up that last comment. having a varied palette of similar colors inside of singular sprites and trying to add texture to it with those would really help with what people are saying . trying to "compact" it a little bit would be good they feel a bit "bulky" atm like when you look at it there's only a few small details to look at and if it's a big part of my screen it would be nice if it was smaller. like I dig that they are big (and i don't mean that they are too large and they should be shrunk at all) and I LOVE the functionality of it all but like there are some tweaks i would recommend so it 1.plays well with other mods and 2.looks more polished because at a technical level this wipes the floor with any and all things that this tries to do it's really cool.

have you tried looking into doing some classes, it also might be that the sprites are kinda bulky and seem to be a bit "empty" what i mean by that is that inside of the lines there is no different colors which gives the feel of being flat and such there are probably a host of automated tools that would really help with making them but other then that you my good sir have made a revolutionary mod here

Yeah, I'm used to have people calling my spritework bad haha.

terraguardians and this mod are slightly too underrated in my opinion. you spent a lot of time making it, even despite sprites here are bad.

Haha, o mesmo pode ser dito da sua mensagem. Ainda estou tentando processar ela.
