This character (and also any sword users) is easily going to be the hardest to do status sprites for since they have a progressive stance system (that rewards constant damage output with more damage - keeping up your momentum while moving, basically. For sword users it does things like extra defense, extra attack, or a decent chance at countering enemy attacks depending on the stance).
They're gonna be doing weird poses constantly. So, they make perfect practice for 'tricky' sprite poses. This is my first attempt at spriting one and I'm super happy with how it came out, so I have confidence for any other tricky/pose-is-mostly-from-scratch battler sprites in the future. References help.

MISSION STATUS: SICK
Note: probably not actually the sprite for Geared Up, but rather for a stance that I don't have an icon for yet.
Next up
interesting...
guess who went on wellbutrin and is having a much easier time doing game-related work

Greetings, everyone. Today is a very special day, 18/02/26 the 5th anniversary of the 1.5 update(the last) for Lisa: The Pointless Scholar Of The Wilbur Sin. Happy 5 years birthday to this fantastical mod and that it shall last for the next five years.
POV: You, a humble resident of Sports Town, are asked for directions
unlikely I will ever finish this, but still you can take a look at some WIP stuff!
Icons for sword combat stances. Tail Guard, Ox Stance, Plow Stance and Fool's Guard.
Out of context these sprites on the master sheet make it look like someone just barged in and tried to push their pyramid scheme on them
A proof of concept
come and eat your spaghetti
