I started making sprites back in college for various projects. For the most part they were poorly modified Final Fantasy 6 sprites. The style has evolved somewhat over the years but they are still pretty simple. I enjoy them anyway. Mostly.
These are some of the ones I like. Some of them are from actual projects but most of them are just characters I enjoy.
