Hello Pixelation! I am at the beginning stages of working on a project for a fantasy game or animation. So far, I have designed 128 character faces. I would like to work with other artists to design outfits and animate these characters, so I am in the process of pursuing that.
Please view the video link above, and provide feedback, comments, criticisms, etc. I tried to use a limited palette so I could focus most on design of the character features. I've made pixel art in the past before, but this will be my first attempt at making a game or something with it. Any advice is appreciated, thank you!

I really like the angle for this project and I LOVE your medieval music.

Are you going to feature this music with these characters?

Hi Rydin, thanks for the reply. I've narrowed the idea for this project to either making a fantasy/medieval game (in which case yes I would be using the Merchant Song and other fantasy music I have composed) or a space arcade game where the characters collab to conquer planets (and the music would probably be made with synthesizers).
Right now, I'm leaning towards the fantasy/medieval. I would like to hire other pixel artists for:
- character outfits and accessories
- animating horses (running, galloping, trotting, etc.)
- castles, environments and backgrounds
- special effects
- character actions (running, walking, fighting, etc.)
To hire, I need to start a Kickstarter campaign, but I want to make sure I have enough support first so the campaign will be successful.

Here is some progress I made on the project. I have a goFundMe hoping to gain support for this game. Thank you!

This is my cover art (so far) for the game. I haven't taken it into Photoshop yet, so I might add stars and comets or something.

I saw your post on tigsource.com: so it's going to be a space adventure game? have you designed any of the aliens yet?

Not yet, the game is in the early stages. I want to have different aliens for different planets, so you have to strategize how to defeat them because they are all different.

Special effects test. When a character consumes a water cube they are refreshed and gain 1000 points of energy.

Hope development is going well! I liked the faces you made for your characters.

Previously I designed 128 original Black American character faces (Original Post). Here, I tried to flesh out 14 of those characters by designing them further. I placed them on a background I found online as a test, but I'll probably design a more simplistic background using the palette I have for the characters.

Above is a test animation (first part of first verse to the merchant song). Comments, critiques, feedback appreciated. Thanks.

I'm working on a more simplistic environment, which I believe matches my style better. This one is rough, but I kinda like it because the carts almost look like they are pastel paintings. It leaves a lot to the imagination, which I like.
The animation is not synced to the song here, and there is not audio, but I have expanded the moves of the merchant and added another supporting character to play the piccolo.

If you have any ideas or feedback, constructive criticism or critiques, please share. Thank you!
This is the style I will be going with going forward.
