4 Sprite Ideas

Alien Girl

My first idea is for the player to control some kind of female alien based in a space environment. Preferably I'd like the creature to have antennae of some sort that will blow in the opposite direction to way in which she is moving to suggest speed, I also had the idea that instead of walking, this character will hover and bob up and down when stationary. Enemies for her will look like some kind of robots or other aliens.

Blob Boy

My second idea is a simple creature made up of a distorted circle and have 2-4 legs with no arms. This is my most simplistic idea as it only requires a walking animation and maybe blinking. Like the image on the right, I will make the character all one colour, with his mouth and eyes being the defining features, also, similar to the alien I may add 1 or 2 antennae to make him a little more unique and interesting. This character will exist in some sort of 'gloomy,' colourful world with blob-like enemies, just in a darker colour.


Hooded Boy (Ninja)

My third idea is to have a hooded boy as the protagonist, the image I have chosen isn't very accurate, as I don't want a typical ninja look, but rather just a male in some kind of cloak with his hood up, so his hair is covered and possibly wearing a belt or button to hold the clothing together. Also I am not planning on giving him a weapon as he will not use it in game so it'll be a waste of animation time. Most of the maps for this character will be fairly dark and he'll have evil animals as enemies, e.g. snakes and spiders.





Farmer/rural girl

For my final idea, I have decided to chose a rural-looking girl wearing typical "farm yard"clothing, such as dungarees and a checkered, button-up shirt. I either want this character to have curly, orange hair, that'll be much easier to draw and animate or blonde/brown pigtails that will look better when blown out behind her, much like the alien's antennae. Her world will consist of fields and scarecrows for enemies.
