"Fire Emblem" is a 30 years old Tactical RPG saga. The different episodes of this series have, therefore, been released on various platforms, but many consider the Gameboy Advance to be the best of them.
So, this week's challenge aims to answer the question :
“What would have happened if the last Fire Emblem had been released on the GBA ?”
To answer it, you will have to create 2 sprites of 1 of the characters, from the last opus, “Fire Emblem: Engage”, in the style of GBA Fire Emblem Games.
You can pick any character (not flying) and must stay true to its character design.
The two sprites should be a "Map Sprite" and an "In Battle Sprite", with size limits of 32x32 and 64x64 pixels respectively.
Note that units on the ground with different poses and armor sizes will not occupy the same space.
Useful links including list of characters and sprite examples.
Canvas Size - 100 x 100 (includes one 32x32 sprite and one 64x64 sprite)
Colors - Max 16 (15 + transparency)
Transparency - Required.
Animation - No.

This week we are making 4 items for a game, where the protagonist has a very specific diet. You need to make four 32x32px item spritess which make a coherent set, and consist:
1) An item that heals 10% of health.
2) An item that heals 50% of health.
3) An item that fully restores all players health.
4) A poisonous item. Something that can empoison, hurt, kill, or disgust the player, and take some or all of their health. An oposite of the diet. Something that specific character cannot eat, or don't want to eat.
The chosen diet have to be specified in the description, but it can be something real or fictional. It can be a raw meat diet, lacto-uovo vegetarian, frutarian, keto, paleo, but you can also imagine a diet of a small rodent that cosnists only insects, or human body parts diet for a monster, or blood for a vampire, or energy for some cosmic being. You can even go into such fantasy as breatharian diet :) Just keep the set of analogue items in 3 levels of strength and 1 anti-food.
Example - the player is a vampire so the items are: a drop of blood, a vial of blood, a barrel of blood, a flask of holy water.
Canvas Size - Max 100 x 100 (includes four 32x32 sprites)
Colors - Max 9 (8 + transparency)
Transparency - Required.
Animation - Optional.

A northern hemisphere centered challenge, but hopefully everyone will find it interesting in some way.
