Hey, all. Been feeling pretty low these days, so I've been trying to cheer myself up with more sprites in more styles just for the heck of it.

So here we have Ryo in a very old-school palette style. While not really "true" NES style, given there are six colors to him, some games have done similar things yet they kept the belivable retro look. One example of this is Shovel Knight, which was a big inspiration to this particular sprite. This is basically the general gist of Shovel Knight's slight chibi-ish proportions, but giving him more of Baz's upper body by giving him very big hands and wide shoulders. While overall, I think it'd be cool to see Ryo in more of Baz's size just in general, something like this is easier to animate and feels more like a player character, given he IS notably strong looking, but he doesn't take up so much of the screen, you can't see much else/have room for large boss monsters.

Not sure if I'll use this for anything. I'm kinda hoping I will, but I have so many things I'm trying to do at once, it's making me lose focus and not get anything done. If I DO happen to do something, it'd be something like a simple 2D platforming game. Again, like Shovel Knight, but not as hard.
