Heading!
Here is a full shot of the picture I did of Crawl guys playing Crawl… not sure why they’re playing it on SNES… because SNES is cool?

Key Poses
Initial doodle where I rough out the key poses- mostly just the anticipation and the end-position poses for each attack. The main thing for flowing combos is having the “end position” of each attack work as a good “anticipation position” to telegraph the next attack.

I thought it might be fun to mention some of the stuff I’ve found useful for pixel/animation work in Photoshop.
Aliased tools
First thing is obviously to turn off all the anti aliasing.
Switch the Paintbrush for the Pencil, put the Eraser into pencil mode, and untick “anti aliasing” check boxes for the Lasso and Paintbucket. I like to go into the settings and turn off pixel grid if it’s on- that thing makes it impossible to see!

Throwing Knives Combo
And another one- this was especially fun, dual-wielding is always cool!

Spear Combo
This one is a little shorter so he can throw it for a ranged attack without having to do too many strikes first.

You can all rest easy, I’ve found more lump footage!
Feast your eyes on this little number (a perfect silhouette 10 seconds in):
You get another glimpse at around the 20 second mark, sadly only briefly in silhouette.
Where did he get it? What’s it all about? Why is he so happy he’s got it?

Spacious face mysteriously disappears!
Well well well suddenly the See No Evil Hear No Evil video is gone from YouTube…?
How convenient for you Mr. Spacey if that is your real name that all evidence of your bizarre facial scenario suddenly disappears!
“Removed due to copyright infringement”… clearly we’re getting a too close to the truth.
S.F is pulling some strings- how deep does the rabbit hole go??!

Club Tweak
I tried a spin attack finale… seems to fit better!

Club Combo
What to say- it’s a guy swinging about a club!
A little more similar to the sword ones than i would have liked, but i can tweak/redo if i have a better idea of how to make it feel more “clubby” in the latter attacks… feels like the jump and slamdown at the end is a bit too athletic, but having trouble coming up with another good “finale” for it.
