Also if you follow me you must know by now how much of a hard on i have for comparing old and new art and seeing my improvement so i figured i'd compile every MAIN version of the main boys' sprites.
and heres a screenshot of the rig for reference. I sprited him in 8 layers to be able to animate him like this, and also heres the sketch just for fun :)
The only thing im NOT a huge fan of is how static his cape is during animation, I may have to hand animate it tbh.
I'm back home and able to work on stuff for Canon again so im updating Gwen's overworld sprites to match her battle sprite more and overall just make it look a bit nicer.
