Favourite part of the project

The thing I enjoyed working on the most was drawing all the animations for our character, who we've unofficially dubbed "lil guy". Trying to make the character expressive as well as making the movements feel/look right was a welcomed challenge, given the small dimensions I was working with for the character sprite, and also the limitation of only being able to use a single colour. 

It was fun to apply some problem solving and experimentation to work out how to, for example, indicate that one of the character's legs was in front of the other during the walk and run cycles, or how to indicate the character was anticipating a jump or a sprint. I also loved coming up with all of the lil guy's facial expressions, whether it be him winking, wincing when he accidentally bonks his head, or even just the little blink that he does ever so often when he idles. So all in all, bringing the lil guy to life — definitely my favourite of the project I've worked on so far.
