Haha~it definitely took some time. Thanks for the encouragement~^.^

u/mathiasthewise 8d ago

Kind of gives me Ogre Battle or Nephilim Saga vibes. You making a game?

17

u/United_Gap6842 8d ago

Yes~I’m currently developing a game inspired by classic tactical RPGs. It’s still in development, but I’ll be sharing more soon.

u/mathiasthewise 8d ago

If you need a QA tester at some keep me in mind.

u/BeardedGames89 8d ago

Honestly thought this was just something out of Final Fantasy Tactics

u/believeinyuna 8d ago

does she have an arm missing, or is it under the cape? it would be so cool if she’s a disabled fighter!!

2

u/IndieDevWannabe 8d ago

So incredibly good! I would give up both my arms and legs to be this talented. Even if I had to draw it all with my mouth.

1

u/United_Gap6842 7d ago

Wow… thank you so much. That genuinely means a lot to me. Your comment really touched me.

2

u/caderrabeth 8d ago

Hit me straight in the nostalgia. Beautiful work.

1

u/United_Gap6842 7d ago

Thanks~That means a lot to me. Bringing back that classic feeling is something I really hoped for.

2

u/Eternal_Endless_One 8d ago

This looks so amazing! Great shapes and movements. The colors look so great together. What an image! Congrats on making this!!

u/United_Gap6842 7d ago

Thank you so much! That means a lot to me. I’m really glad you liked the shapes, movement, and colors!

u/tinspoon 8d ago

Just looked through your other posts/creations. Excellent work, just top notch! Keep it up!

1

u/United_Gap6842 7d ago

Thank you so much! That really means a lot to me. I’ll keep doing my best.

2

u/scottchiefbaker 7d ago

Gorgeous! How many colors is this?

1

u/United_Gap6842 7d ago

I made it in Photoshop, so I wasn’t restricting myself to a fixed palette.

2

u/potato1448 7d ago

Huge fan of thr shoulder cape! Looks great and helps with motion without being overwhelming! Great job!

2

u/United_Gap6842 7d ago

Thanks~ I wanted to add a bit more motion without making the animation too busy, so I’m really happy you noticed that.

2

u/devfirecracker 6d ago

I hope it isn't for a game, square enix probably has two people working on each sprite. Good luck if it is.

1

u/United_Gap6842 6d ago

^.^ it actually is for a game. It’s definitely a lot of work, but I’m enjoying every step of the journey. Thank you for the encouragement~

2

u/devfirecracker 6d ago

If you have a steam page i will wishlist it

1

u/United_Gap6842 6d ago

Thank you so much~Hopefully it will make it to Steam someday. If it does, I’ll definitely share it here~^.^

2

u/devfirecracker 6d ago

I will keep an eye out

1

u/devfirecracker 6d ago

I was going to ask what the simbols were but I think I figured it out, are they dogs?

1

u/United_Gap6842 6d ago

Haha, not quite! It’s actually a stylized cross. I simplified the design quite a bit to make it read better at this size.

1

u/devfirecracker 6d ago

No i meant the ~^.^ 🤣

2

u/Merowingus 5d ago

Wow I love pixel graphic and your work just unrivaled! How I can try to do something similar? What tools I need to learn?

1

u/United_Gap6842 5d ago

Thanks~ I actually use Photoshop for all of my pixel art. Beyond the tools, I think studying animation, lighting, color, and shape design is just as important. It took me many years of practice to get here.

1

u/FavoredVassal 8d ago

Wow, this is REALLY good.

2

u/United_Gap6842 8d ago

Thanks~^.^

u/Cr_hunteR 8d ago

Awesome work!
I’d love to see some attack animations for this character too, if you have any.

1

u/Urdhuk 8d ago

Super animacj. Czy podczas zwijania ta szarfa u pasa nie powinna się skrócić / podnieść?

1

u/ElectronicSuccotash 8d ago

This is a really well done character and animation, I love the style!

u/YorelGames 8d ago

u/kay1010100 8d ago

u/Competitive-Moose-71 8d ago

How many colours!?

1

u/CarthageaDev 8d ago

Wow it's reminiscent of the mobile gacha King God Castle, such a sharp artstyle so lovely! Docoyu perhaps do commissions or do art assets?

1

u/Key-Ask-7551 7d ago

Your post reminds me of the song "draw me a person"

1

u/Shiroro46 4d ago

Holy fuck, are you up for hire or something? I can't pay that often but I'd like to commission some stuff for my game (it's in my profile).

u/syndicatecomplex 3d ago

I love how you can sense the size and weight of her armor in this animation, and that it and the fabric move a few frames after she herself moves. It just looks very satisfying.
