Silk Gloves already have their own unique INV sprite. No need to create what already exists. The current ones look fine, but coloring them is easy enough using XML code and ofc the character sprite would just use the same code as the cotton gloves unless you plan on making them look a lot different, but I would think it's more trouble than it's worth to create more spritesheet/s. The only issue I have with the current Silk Gloves sprite is that both gloves are left ones, which is weird, so.... I'm not opposed to the new art. It is better to have a left and right hand as it looks correct, but I'd avoid recreating things. A lot of stuff was redone in the past. Then a lot got redone again. Now we have perfectly spherical gemstones when at one time they used to look like proper cut gemstones. I never understood all that. Some pics were nicer. Some were worse, but it would be a far better use of time to make new things and leave the old alone unless there is an actual problem. Just my 2 cents.
Apologies on my hasty reply. I am now aware of something I should have already known. They ARE the exact same sprite.
