Hey there. Programming comes a lot more natural to me than good pixel art. This is Arian, who's eager to take part in an adventure RPG but first needs some critiques (and possibly a name change.) Originally drawn in a pixel editor I wrote, then switched to Corel Photopaint.
(EDIT: removed)
I did use a reference I found online somewhere, but it's quite different. The issue I see so far is the arm swings back pretty quick on one frame. Also I'm thinking about removing the outline because the game graphics don't have outlines.
