Aaaand an edited, better quality one- forgot to upscale
Had a lot of fun here making her cravatt fly into her face. Looks a bit wonky atm but should be good in play! The frames in the apex of the jump are gonna be stretched for longer so it looks like she holds the pose for longer

Somehow I managed to finish Bernadetta's jump animation after only 2 days! I normally don't have the time to sit down and pump something like this out so fast, but I'm proud I could this time!!
Now only to figure out the firing in air, firing left, and firing down in the air animations!!

Finally just wrapped up Bernadetta's ref, as well as some shading methods/notes for myself, so I can keep consistent when drawing out some talk sprites n whatnot

ALSO, finally managed to motivate myself to make the jump animation, so, we're deep in that now

One of the animations I think is in a good spot! When working on Bernadetta's animations, I try really hard to do two things:
make her outfit move with her
and make her as expressive as possible- really helps get across her inexperienced/silly personality

Some concept art for shooting. The general idea is that you can fire to attack, but also to move! Been very fun to figure out how to express Bernadetta's characters into her animations

In the same vein, I was considering a minigame/feature where instead of conventional item use systems, Bernadetta will have 'cravings', which make certain foods more effective, maybe with some bonuses!
And maybe I could use it for environmental storytelling too!

Introducing Bernadetta!
A self proclaimed giant hunter, Bernadetta is braving the mighty beanstalk to avenge her home!
This is an image I hope to use in dialogue sequences. Was hoping to scale it down to look like old DS game sprites, but I have yet to find a good way to do it lol
