Hey,
I am working on a tavern for a "game" and have designed a city guard. I have added the concept below.
And here is my pixel interpretation of the guard. I have drawn the tavern background as a standard image and then all elements which will be animated are going to be done in pixel art. As is also obvious I have done the shading as a simple checker board so that the background is not obscured.
Any help in improving this would be awesome.
Thanks
