So me and ~~Daniel9x7~~ Koa-Devil decided to do a collab project on a new character. He'll be taking care of the sprites, whilst I'll mostly be doing the coding. Just a few samples of whats been done so far:

Idle:

Turning:

Stand to Crouch:

You limit yourself so badly when you try to avoid variables. When you get over your fear of the "complexity" of variables, you will find yourself in a better place: A beautiful world where coding is actually fun.

Si monumentum requires, circumspice

I'm not a huge fan of the shading style. It looks weird that the scythe has reflections but nothing else has any shading.

Just... Ask the question

I´m pretty sure it has 2 shades for the scythe to look like metal. Without it, it would look weird.

Well, what I tried to do with Elly came from how I've seen Scythes before on cartoons, being this guy the case:

While I do agree it doesn't look as metal without the shade, I'm not really sure about this completely, thoughts?

The 666th Inning

I'd just make the shade just one line instead of giving it a jagged look to it.
And in the idle animation Elly's right foot (viewer's right) is bigger than the left.

After so many years I decided to come back at this x_x.

How these sprites work is that after being drawn in Flash, they are processed to thicken out the outer lines to eliminate the outer antialias. Whilist I could turn antialias off, the sprites often come very jagged and need tons of fixing to look properly, plus even with 256 colors the sprites retain their vibrant colors and all. My goal in this project is to make good looking sprites at the cost of paletting. I'll be doing more sprites after references, I'll probably have to borrow some elements of Komachi's animations, but I'll try to make them look as unique as I can.

What I need is a good stance that can follow to her attacks, probably Komachi's will help, but if you got another idea that can work, it will be welcome, as she will need her scythe, which I'll add later on the first proper sprites.

Well either way, this is a demo sprite, I'll change things till having the proper final sprite that'll be basis for the other ones.

Guilty Gear's Testament could be a good stance to use as well.

haven't got a clue

Thanatos from Eternal Champions could be a good base for a stance.

Recommending Komachi's stance for a base but I have to agree with Error here, she's looking a little pale and disgruntled.

Well dunno, I've been hooked on using these kind of dark and contrasting colors for my sprites for a while, but I'll see about giving them a bit orange to the skin at least.

BTW, I'd rather reccomend you to show me gifs of the stances, for easier reference.
