Today I made a sprite I call the Shadow-man. He’s looks sad and maybe evil; but I believe that he is lost and lonely. He reminds me a bit of No-Face from Sprited Away. Bits of him are falling away, and the only parts of him with color are his eyes. I’d love to see a character like this in a game. And see him change progressively over time. Maybe he starts out as a small little blob of a shadow, and slowly takes form of a humanoid. Maybe when certain emotions such as fear or anger take over, his body reacts by taking a shape in the expresses the same emotion. He has sharp edges and joins into a massive hulking form when angry. Or perhaps be grows many arms and legs that claw at the ground to move him as quickly away as possible when scared. But when he feels more positive emotions such as love or excitement, he starts to look more human-like and color starts to come to his body.
