Making progress on the animation, still not quite there with the top down angled look but it's close!

I decided that the animation needed a rework, so I focused on that for a while and plan to overlay the character if this works. How does it look?

Animation progress

Getting a lot better at the pixel art stuff and feeling more confident every hour I work on it that I'll get there eventually! Couple examples from just 1 extra night working on it (absolutely used some references for proportions and lighting and stuff)
