Hello everyone! I am redoing an animation I created from 2019. I named him Hideyoshi, who was a boss mob in my game concept. He is based off the https://www.artstation.com/artwork/P2AEB - Knight Hood by Janice Chu on Art Station as her own original concept.
2019 Concept: I took this as a reference and incorporated elements of inspiration from megaman battlenetwork, scifi and a ninja. 
2021 Revisit: this morning I randomly came across the old animation and wanted to quickly redo it. It was my first and last pixel animation. I was never happy with the head or feet so I made these changes while adding more focus on mecha and Samurai. I also felt daring to do my first character portrait (inspiration comes from Final Fantasy and Advanced Wars). I have some other animations of Hideyoshi from 2019 including attacks, skill, hit animations that I intend to redo but I figure this was a good starting point. 
All critiques and comments are very much appreciate and welcome. Please feel free to be harsh- Id love to grow my pixel art. |

Also good question! With the samurai theme I saw these as an interesting way to attach many Katanas attached to his back. I plan to change them to show the blades. In the attack animation, these katanas are thrusted forward quickly like a projectile. They magically return and reappear on his back after the ability is used. Hopefully I have time to finish the ability to post it. For now heres a minor edit to better show the swords (I realize I shouldnt call them Katanas as theyre short swords and not as long as the ones shown here)
