I know. I think instead of just doing large versions of my platform sprites (obviously didn't work) I should try using ones from an actual fighting game. It was supposed to turn out looking like a mix of Sonic and Knuckles' idle stances.

[EDIT]
I'm gonna take a break from spriting for a while anyway; I need to practice coding again, otherwise I'll never get my game development library done. Once I've gotten it functional enough, I'll make some simple games as a tech demo.
