I really love it! These have a very pretty aesthetic, so much so that even the blades appear “soft” if that makes sense. If they still made SNES games today, this is what I imagine some of their art would look like.
The “anti aliasing” style you have in the shading is clearly coming from a practiced hand, and really excellently done. Its a style I’ll admit to being envious of, though I’ve never actually tried to make any of my own sprites in this style. Im also interested to know more about your game! Im working on one myself. Do you use Game Maker too by any chance ? Its always good to have another person to talk GMS with, so let me know!
