I'm a bit torn between the two versions. Which one looks better, the red Letter A or the white Letter A? The red Letter A is in the last image.
Also, if you guys have any recommendations for post-processing or editing tricks that could make the artwork look cleaner, let me know!
I'm using Krita.
All character animations were pre-rendered from 3D models and converted into 2D sprites. For the 3-hit combo sequence, I created attack sprites in 12 directions at 30-degree intervals, allowing mouse aiming and clicking to feel as responsive as possible. It might be overkill, but I think it was worth it, though it does get somewhat overshadowed by the sheer amount of VFX happening on screen during an actual run :/
Combat during an actual run starts at 1:12 in the video.
