This is the sort of thing I was talkin about in that journal I just posted, I probably just should have posted it here.
I drew this up yesterday while out with friends. It's somewhat incomplete, but it was just me gettin some rough ideas out for it.
The general goal here is to just give all of my characters a little more gear or accessories that would compliment them and the type of stuff they do. I'd like them to fit more of an "Interstellar Adventurer/Fantasy Critter" type deal.
So, a few small additions of simple armor bits, magical things, and straps and pouches to hold stuff with. (Even though they pretty much "hammer space" everything anyway.
I'd also work all of the gear I give them, into their powers and movesets for the game and such
I couldn't resist the idea of a cute lil strap over Jeibu's belly. I donno, I just like it. >_<
This concept isn't final, but it might be close.
Ima also make the changes to the sprites I've made so far too (of course). Which means I gotta go back, frame by frame, but additions like this are easy enough.
