pixel art is a bitch. I started with a base that I am going to design characters on. The base is heavily inspired by Earthbound, mainly because the controls and graphics are going to be executed similarly, its not a ton of pixels (16x24) and I like it so fuck you. Here's an album with all eight-direction idle sprites: http://imgur.com/a/okm8W#0
Here are some blown up versions of the walk animations:
Though, I am thinking of axing the full portrait left and right view sprites and instead just using the down-left and down-right sprites for full horizontal movement. So, if the player had just been moving up or up-left/up-right, then went left or right, the game would display the down-left or down-right sprites respectively. Same thing if they moved from the down directions to left or right. This would cut down on the amount of work per character I would have to do, and like I said, pixel art is a bitch.

So I went ahead and did that, and cleaned up the animations a bit:

And here is what is probably going to be the main character sprite in action:
Original size
At the actual size (2:1 pixel ratio) I will probably use in-game.
And a 4:1 zoom for detail (note some color glitches):

Changed up some things, went with a slightly darker and less saturated palette (for the most part, still a work in progress. Note the 2x and 4x versions have some color glitching going on because I just lazy zoomed them.

Re: I've been spriting
Pretty doap dude. Definitely better in the darker version.
I don't know why, but at the moment i find the asscheeks inclusion on the b/w sprite to be hilarious.
