Well, I'm making a character sheet filled with sprites. The character is a relaxed guy that is calm and has his head in the clouds.
In the project, we are to make a character sheet with a certain color palette. Each animation should try and stay withing 4 frames, 6 at max.

In this animation I want him to have a battle stance, something to show that he is ready to defend/attack. With it, I want to give him a running animation.

This here is another attempt to try and show the character having his relaxed nature, yet he is active, as if ready to dodge an upcoming attack, though with this one, I want him to walk instead of running.
