Pirate Skeleton (with SV Battler)
🕑 Added 2024-08-16 15:59:00 +0000 UTCHello! I have a new character sprite to share today.
This guy might seem familiar...
Waaaaay back in 2015, I released a set of freebies based on character designs from the RPGMaker game Master of the Wind. It was one of my very first add-on releases for the Time Fantasy series.
A patron recently contacted me about commissioning a battler sprite for the skeleton character on that sheet-- the original design based on Bones from MotW. I liked the idea, especially because I know that there's always patron requests for more side-view battlers and especially ones that break the typical template and could be used for enemies or unique non-human heroes.
Of course-- because the original sprite was so directly based on an existing character, I made a few changes before going ahead with the full animation. In the process, I also completely redrew the skull face (turns out that I've improved a lot at pixel art over the past ten years 😆) -- so the result is a brand new character in the Time Fantasy style:
Because he has such a piratey appearance-- I've referenced the SV battler for the original patreon-requested Time Fantasy pirate captain sprite. This new skeleton battler uses the same curved cutlass as his primary weapon, and his ranged weapon is a blunderbuss instead of the more common bow.
It was fun to revisit a Time Fantasy classic after spending so much time recently working in the newer styles.
I hope that you can make a lot of use from this character!
