These are a few sprites for a forecoming laser squad / x-com style game I want to work on..
I have done them in a Final Fantasy style as I both like the 16 x 16 size and this style of people.
The sprites here are for a player marine and I didn't want to put helmets on them as I feel that de-personalises them. The marines are going to be more individuals than standard soliders, being more of an elite variety, hence the slightly wild hair and headband (also a nod to x-com there).
I'm not much of an artist so I used a FF I sprite as a base I'm afraid. It's the only way I will be able to make decent graphics for my game.
I still think there are issues with these so if you have any constructive criticism or edits I will try to learn from your posts.. Thank you!
