This is for a new game I am working on called "City of Darkness".
Not being fresh to spriting I have already ran through some troubles on how to get the right flow for animation.
Im sure there are plenty of other things you could all help me with so please no holding back with your comments.

The sprite style is similar to the early Metal Gear games on the MSX, I've tried to edit the soldier to look less like snake.
Still I worry that if this still isnt enough I might have to try a different style.






Please feel free to respond

Is this what you meant by spreading his stance Ryona:

I went for the second option.
I hope I have achieved a better look unfortunately I am not skilled yet at seeing which one is more suitable.
I think getting rid of the black borders was the right thing to do.
Id like to know of ways I could make them look less stiff but still keep that PS 4 type feel about them.

Thanks for the advice BG
