Just something small I did in between work.

I very much enjoyed Shovel Knight, but wondered if I could fix up the game's sprites using roughly the same restrictions. All the characters are a few pixels bigger for readabillity, but use the same colors and poses, and some design elements have been altered to so they match the character illustrations released alongside the game.

Dark Knight has been given an extra color, simply because he has one fewer than all the other sprites, and definitely needed some added readabillity. 

King Knight, Plague Knight and Spectre Knight has also had one of their colors exchanged for another (taken from the other sprites) to make better use of them. Plague Knight especially had a barely visible green along with his yellow, and Spectre Knight's original gray made an odd blend whit his main magenta color.

The idea was to still make the sprites feel like they fit the style, but in the end I suppose it was mainly for fun.

My god Snake. Had to login just to favourite this and rate it full stars like every other piece of pixel you've created. Keep it up! You never cease to amaze me good sir, I am a fan.

These are so high quality. However, we must not forget that Shovel Knights sprites were the way they were because they feature large amounts of animation per character. This would've blown the budget completely out haha. Keep up the great work SP. You are one of my inspirations when it comes to pixel art and art in general.

I didn't play Shovel Knight but now I'm sad knowing that in-game sprites won't look like that. T_T

Though, I enjou good sprites very much and these are beyond good. Awesome job on colors and details especially. Each of them is amazing. :]

Wow this is awesome! Didn't the game use the NES palette, or a variation of it? These are just gorgeous.

as always your sprites are incredible, definitely prefer them to the real thing. No disrespect to yacht club games of course (i get that they were shooting for a more NES-reminiscent look)
