Whew. This was a hard one.
I feel like there should be a slight head bob on that as well.
The whole sprite is super dynamic and fluid but I keep focusing directly on the head because it's so static by comparison.
It's not a big deal but it's a bit jarring.
Agreed. But it really does look great so far. It could also benefit from a "shifty eyes" animation, looking for enemies.
Wow! Like Cyberguy though, I think you should add a head bob in the run animation.
WIP. Somehow got the idea to make a GBC styled mockup.
UPDATE:
Oh boy.
