As you can see i tried going for a near outline-less figure when I originally made Giovanni's sprite which has its pros and cons, however as time has gone on, I no longer like the lack of outlines, and feel it robs from the look I want to go for plus the original Giovanni was very inexpressive, eyes rarely moving, most expression was shown through rotating the mouth, which while simple, doesn't seem to convey the emotion as well as actually changing the facial expression. Summary of what I've changed: Limbs are now more fluid and natural, rather than just rectangles. Eyes now move this is actually partially due to a mistake that I ended up liking in my previous project, and decided to fully implement. (although, eyes that move should've been obvious.) Updated outlines, The nose is the only outline that hasn't been changed. The hat was reshaped slightly, and the color was updated. added hair. To Do: Redo blinking/idle animation, its a little rough, and has a few errors i didn't notice until it was too late. Add walking, running, and other actions. Possible eye updates.
I've Updated Giovanni based on my last project, updating the outlines, making him more expressive and just better looking overall. I'll probably update this further in the future, but as of now, I don't have much time to work on this.
