Locusts did some sprites

Damn, your sprites are goood.

Thanks!

Based on feedback in the Discord I'm going to do forward and rear facing sprites. I've also made some small tweaks to the existing sprites, so I will post an updated sprite set once all done.

For this do you mean sprites that face N/S/E/W facing? Like how humans look? That's what I thought you meant when I first read it, but I think I misunderstood. But now it occurs to me how strange it is that playable critters only face 2 directions. Any chance of coming up with something that can face 4 ways?

This is what I was asked to do because the sprites I made for frogs were already pointing horizontally. Most critter sprites are at an angle facing the "camera" (see hamsters for an example), creating front/back sprites involves more work and is generally a little harder because side sprites use the more recognisable silhouette of an animal.

Speaking of a lot more work, I have finished all frog sprites. This turned into a pretty big undertaking. All frogs have three frames of animation when moving W/E, two facing N, and two facing S, and a death sprite. This is over 8 species of frog, for a grand total of 64 sprites, just for one critter type. It might be the most animated critter in the game at this point?

Because of how many sprites there are, I've uploaded them into a zip instead of imgur. Please ignore the previous gallery I linked as these are the most recent versions.
