¶ - Redraw The Default Scratch Sprites... With Scratch. XD
Ever want to just slightly modify the shape of the Scratch cat? Well, all you have to do is click the little button that has a picture of the mouse pointer next to the curvy line, and then just simply…
Oh…

You see, the vector default sprites are not drawn with Scratch - instead, something like adobe illustrator or inkscape. The problem is mainly with the curves to the objects: For where Scratch uses eight points to draw a circle, the editor that was used to draw the sprites only used four. The picture above is a representation of what happens if you drag each point a few pixels and then put it back almost exactly where it was before. It just doesn't work.
HERE IS A MOCKUP OF WHAT I CAN DO: http://scratch.mit.edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/projects/31195586/
So, what I'm suggesting is that (I could probably do a reasonably-sized portion of the graphics (see my test account for an example of my Scratch vector art skills), but if one of the ST wanted to take the time to do it then that would be very helpful) all of the Scratch vector sprites get redrawn in Scratch so that everything doesn't go sideways when any given Scratcher wants to edit the shape.

Support, even though I don't use the Scratch cat that often.

It applies to almost every default vector graphic.

Support in spite of the paragraph thingy that has no clear purpose supporting the point.

Support except I don't think I've ever used any of the default costumes. xD

I usually don't, but since so many users do, I thought I'd suggest it.

Support. Also, if people try editing the Scratch cat and find it doesn't go as planned, they may be discouraged from using the Vector editor at all because they think it's too hard.

Thanks for the support.

Yeah, that's the main reason that I suggested this.
