So yeah some of the lore I developed is that Existence is a spirit inhabiting a stone body because of the swirly rune that allows posession. Well now it's time to upgrade to a body of steel. Most of my progress on the next sprite of me has been unshared, so here's a progress update. It's a bit janky, but the animation, as of now, is divided into seperate sprites, and as the movements are proportional to a frame variable slider, I can pause at each frame and create a costume, overlapping everything as best I can. The robot bits are, as of now, not yet detailed, which is why I have not immediately begun vector conversion. I'm kinda stumped on how to start, so please give advice in the comments. Thanks, Existence.
