DDP's Sprite Workshop

Pegasus Boots sprinting as well, perhaps (with and without sword)?

Oh, and by the way the sprites look great; they evoke the Megaman-ish essence without looking like generic edits, so kudos for that.

One thing I'd change, though, are the item icons; maybe reduce the amount of unique palettes used in those icons? (Also, the colors for the Magic Powder bag seem a touch too dark.)

Hey, thanks for the feedback! I've lightened up the powder bag a bit. I originally wanted it darker so that it could have a unique palette, but I guess it was at the expense of clarity. I think the palettes for the items are just fine, though. The Mega Man games didn't do this, but I think it would be reasonable to say a 3-color item overlayed on a 4-color (non-transparent) box would be possible on the NES.

Yeah, I'll be adding the the boot dash right after I finish the stabbing and midair sword techniques.

Progress has been going smoothly. Didn't do a lot for Link today, but yesterday I did quite a bit. I went back and added arms on the shieldless poses, as well as pushing, damaged, charging, slashing and two versions of the iconic DA-NA-NA-NAAA! Now I think I have all of the generic poses done.

Also, judging from the size of this sheet so far, it seems that it will be a lot bigger than I originally expected. Will probably have to spoiler this next time I update it. And that's with only the bare minimum of LttP sprites...How should I mend this? Should I expand the sheet horizontally from here, or just keep expanding vertically? Also, how does the swinging pose look? I'll be reusing this for lots of things like rods, canes, hammers, nets, etc. I'm not sure on the style of motion blur and it might look better if the sword finishes it's swing at a lower angle. It's important that I get it perfect!
