[IL] Final Fantasy Dawn of Souls Style (Gen Kobayashi) / ファイナルファンタジーI・IIアドバンス作風 (小林 元)

Attempts to recreate Gen Kobayashi’s artwork for the Final Fantasy 1+2 remake on the GBA, released in the west with the subtitle Dawn of Souls. I thought the style was neat (at least for FF1's simple, "vintage fantasy" designs. FF2's more "overdesigned" stuff doesn't look nearly as nice in it) and it seemed a decent candidate to try making.

Tags: F_F_D_O_S, Optional: chibi (for humans. It's optional for monsters.) Aspect Ratio: SquareSoft (portrait tends to stretch characters and give them longer legs, thus ruining the chibi) The "chibi" tag is bugged in Illustrious and Pony to spawn copies of characters. Not sure how to fix it.

Trained off 36 transparent background images from Final Fantasy wiki’s FF1 and FF2 concept art pages, plus a pair of promo images of Chaos and Emperor cropped to face to avoid text and reused graphics. Flip augmentation used. Chose to do this primarily to test data needed for a style with limited scope (in this case, only character/monster images on a simple background). Works well, though wrangling with chibi's multiple views problem is a hassle (in fact, it's so much I'm not going to try the FFV chibi art I was considering doing as a followup unless someone can suggest how to avoid it
