The mod's art direction, save for specific elements like the background clouds were entirely directed by me and alot of the work done for this mod I made sure would be almost entirely perfect in my eyes, but it is clear that it is still a little rough around the edges. Black being Jarring and out of place was intentional, although I have a very heavy pet peeve with the pitch black aswell, and I will be changing him to match the color of the bars in another update, I also realise the design coming off alot weaker when you can only really just see the body and tie, so It'll be easy for me to fix if I just simply lower him a fair amount without having to entirely redo the graphic.
I don't think it really matters wether or not the DRM is up? You would not feasibly do much with the project that would reasonably impact it in any way.
