Can't possibly express more how much this would be loved. I know a few other people that would love it too. Notably @molifox, @wwedx2007, and bunch of other people here that would also love it.
It's possible you may even be able to hit people up for roster help. If they felt there was a graphics mod that their rosters could contribute to, I'm sure they'd be into at least helping a bit if they have the time.
Keep going, looking forward to this!
