I know what you mean. I looked at them yesterday, and it's quite a daunting challenge. I know it will take a lot of creativity/artistic license in most cases. I had the idea that this would be for the best, but I haven't given it a whole lot of thought to be honest 
But don't worry about getting the files to me/us (as long as they are safe.) I am aiming for the year 2020 to finish. So we have a lot of time! And believe me, it's going to take all of that time.
If you don't mind using this thread/topic to continue to discuss this (it's a little off-topic) then please render some of the SVG's (your favorites) and attach/post them, so everyone can see.
ASAP I want to give you a project to use, if possible, so you can see your work in SOM and in the game. And continue to refine it that way. I will develop some special tools for generating "textures" from your SVG files. Maybe once the textures get small (this is called Mipmapping) they can use the originals, or maybe not, we will see. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mipmap
P.S. My idea is to not make the characters look like cartoons, or realistic, but to have them appear more like sculptures, or abstract artworks. They are representations of an idea, but they are not a thing in themself. It is not the form itself that is important, but the feeling/thoughts it evokes. Kind of like puppets.
