A simple four frame guard with a shadow. The frames are ready/attack/hurt/growl. The ready/growl frames are meant to work as a simple idle animation. In the game engine I was using, the creatures float slightly above their shadows. This is one of about seventy monsters in the Loyalty Lies set... if they are not all uploaded yet then check back in a few days ;)

Around ten years ago now, I tried to use a game engine to make an RPG by myself. I spent hundreds of hours on it, but I never did finish it.  I haven't lost interest, but my skillset has changed. I don't really do pixel work anymore, I do flash and 3d instead. Considering that, it seems silly not to share these and see if anyone else can figure out what to use them for. If you want to find other stuff I made for the same project, look for "Loyalty Lies" ;)

(If you are curious about the sizing and colours I chose, they were made to work with the Well of Souls game engine. To put them up here, I made them transparent PNGs instead... but do what you need to make them work for your game.)
