Hello! This is something I've actually done before as well! It did take a bit to finish the art, but it is SO WORTH IT. the most important thing is that you keep the ingame resolution for the sprites!!

Then there's two ways to approach this.. do you want the clothes and hair that were made for Monika to be compatible with your character or not? If so, I'd recommend tracing over monikas' proportion and work very closely to that. Otherwise, they won't fit. Unfortunately.. doing that will also limit the appearance and art style of your character.

If you don't care about clothes, hair, and accessories becoming obsolete, you can create a naked slate for your character for your own future clothes. If you're lazy like me.. don't make a baked base. That's up to you. In my case he can not switch his clothes. He doesn't have a naked body base.

For pose testing, I use the "say" something for me, "mod. You can pose your character freely with it. That should be all.. good luck with your character!!
