About 4 months passed since I made the last personal thing. It seems that I just take to  less time for stuff like that. I got sick of my anatomy studies and of the usual stuff I am doing throughout the day and because of this a sprite out of my comfort zone feeled perfect to get a clear head. Basically it wasn't planned as animation, I made the basesprite and after that it felt perfect to add a little animation. I added stuff and stuff and stuff and ended then up with this.

The charakter is Saber from Fate Stay Night / Fate Zero series. Fate zero is in my eyes one of the most beautiful animated series from the last years.

I used 2 main references: ref1 ref2

 This was good! Is there a reason you deleted it? :(

 I think she's holding her arms a bit awkwardly. If it's an idle position, why is she wasting all her energy on holding the sword in the air instead of resting it on the ground, or her shoulder?

On another note, why are her hands stroking up and down the hilt of the sword? Is she trying to send a message to her enemies? ._.

nice sprite but the animation looks like an unfinished cycle.

I really like this piece.  Great job on the animation and recognizability (even in the preview).

 I feel like you could take a shortcut with fixing the jumpy feeling of it by adding one more frame of her moving away from the viewer. Or maybe not back, but having her upper body lower, just to give it that circular motion.

Awesome work btw :)

Have to agree Delicious and additionally, I think animated cloth like this benefit from cycle animations. Hm, and the shadow is a bit distracting, it could get smaller and bigger rather then moving up and down on the right side.

However, nice sprite.

 It's good. Jumpy though, seems like there should be a couple more frames to give it a bit more flow and not seem so agressive.
