[WIP] ABS/SideView CBS Battler

[Sasame Kiryu]

So, I was contemplating for a while now to get back into spriting, until I finally got off my rear and started to mess with MS Paint. I did some experimenting before I developed a style I feel is somewhat unique. I feel like I've seen it somewhere before, but I've never seen it moving.

Before I get to that process, however, I want to know from a few of you; If this thing were moving, would it be worth playing a game with characters of a similar style?

I was thinking the style was more suited toward an ABS, but I haven't found a nice ABS for VX that has some form of custom animations, so I'm not so sure. That's why I was also considering making it for a side view CBS. Either way, the sprite would be moving.

I only want some C & C, as anyone else would need when they post a WIP. Please, give me your ideas and opinions, as I am ready to do several hundred animations on this thing. I wouldn't want to go through all of that if no one thought it looked good though.

Thanks for reading, and, if applicable, your commentary.

Wow, this isn't that bad.

I would like to see this in animation, it would look nice, but until I see it in animated form, I really can't say anything, but aside from that, the sprite looks good.

It lacks shading, but I think that's a highlight of the style we're finding so effective. Maybe if you increased the contrast of the shading that's already there so it's more evident, but I don't think any more tones are needed. Maybe show us some other characters drawn in the same style, so we can get a bigger view of what you're going to create.

Also, this isn't a stylistic issue, but her right leg looks like the blade of the sword, or the blade of her sword looks like her right leg. If it is the leg, it looks awkward perfectly straight like that.

Yeah, I was trying to do something with that leg, but it looks awkward any way that I try and shape it =\ I'll definitely keep trying though. I'll cook up more characters as well. I was planning on spriting the three main characters of a project I'm writing up, so I should have their standing animations done by tonight, hopefully.

Thanks for the commentary. It is very much appreciated.

Until later
