OOOOH BOY, WHERE DO I BEGIN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(..if these animation gifs even work.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sorry, I get excited when it comes to animation. Although the animation up there is a work in progress, I’ll be done with the actual completed animation soon. I have the basics down so all I need is the actual pixel art over this. This is actually the first time I did a quick animation with a scythe. I can do weapons, but not scythes. So, I had to borrow some references from other games; the main one being Ruby Rose from BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle (or BBTAG for short), a guest character who came from a show online called “RWBY”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BBTAG is a fighting game that uses sprites as well, I’ve played this game solely for the cast of characters that featured there. Ruby happens to be my main character that I use, she was perfect to get some animation references to help out. All I needed to figure out was the posing for my character, if it aligns with their personality, how my character moves during the animation, other stuff that is important to me. I’ll wrap my attack animation soon. But I did however create other animations!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
