I'd love to see this template publicly released, they're so adorable. I'd definitely give a shot at pixeling with them.
The sprite with the feather in his hat reminds me of Jack Sparrow. It's a good thing.
He was inspired by Jack Sparrow's design. Although I originally came up with him after the first movie was released in 2003 and have been more or less planning the game ever since then. Unfortunately I fear that the release of the new movie will make people think that my game is a fangame or something. His personality's a bit different though (for example, he's a good guy with strong morals despite being a pirate- think robin Hood), although his appearance is certainly recognizable.
My game has ten playable characters, led by the captain (the guy with the feather-Gavin) and it's a crew of pirates. You sail around the sea, going to different ports, pillaging and looting, sacking other ships, and ultimately trying to find buried treasure. I plan to have a chart map system similar to Wind Waker.
And yeah- you guys have convinced me to release the templates when I finish with them (so far I have the forward walk cycles for the three of them- male, female and child). Although I'll be keeping the sprites themselves to myself until my game is released in full.
