Working on BONES for BONE SPELLS seemed like the thing to do for October, so I did.



Got a basic bone, then leg bone, pelvis, spinal disc, coccyx, rib, humerus, ribcage, collarbone, forearm, shin, funky skull + reverse, hand, cattle skull, wishbone, then after mocking up the BONESTORM skill I realized they are REALLY BIG so I made some small wishbones, leg bones, ribcage and skull. I also tried to figure out how to sprite CLOTH (without success) and made a SPECTRE for a possible DOOM spell. Also a grabby hand for fun.


I really liked that funky skull I sprited, so I am going to use him to FIRIN' A LASER, like in this mockup.


BONE STORM is gonna be some sort of explosion of BONES from THE VOID, like this mockup.


And, I also made a COLOUR BLAST spell - very simple and quick, and should be familiar to anyone who has played Final Fantasy VI.


As an update, I am still just plugging away on additional battle animations, because it is something I can pick up and do in short bursts. And because the original game HAD NO LIMITS ON THE RIPS I USED, I had a FUCKTON of BATTLE ANIMS. So I have a lot more gaps in my needs than I anticipated back in 2018. But I'm having fun teaching myself to sprite, so that's a plus.

November will be more battle anims - I am working on the little item animations that play when you open a chest or search a barrel. Should be quick! Next up after that are TAROT CARDS.
