Spriter's Resource has been an ANGEL (heh) for getting great in-style sprite reference, even so, I'm going insane trying to wrap my head around this. I'm really not used to pixel art, and trying to keep things in low res for smaller sized characters while maintaining "clarity" is deceptively difficult! It really makes you appreciate the genre even further. Also here are my notes from Google Slides loool.

I haven't really looked at the 3 and 4 sprites all that much yet either so they might've changed the style a little more by then but oh well. I don't mind going a little off. That being said, there's this doc from FmDraws but I would like something that goes more in depth on battle sprite specifically. I would prefer a non-video, but anything would help at this rate.
