I do standing poses better than floating/flying . I'm trying to go for a classic Game Boy platformer style of character sprites. Maybe not traditional platformers like Super Mario Land 2, Kirby's Dream Land and Castlevania Adventure, but the games like Kid Dracula, Megaman Xtreme, Ranma 1/2, Shantae, and Star Ocean: Blue Sphere.
And I'm not saying I want the same sizes and resolution, because I do not enjoy limiting myself with this stuff . But I mostly want the colors, style and atmosphere.
