Stock RPG-Style Character

I had some time and a will, so I made a 16x16 stock character suitable for a top-down game. I was picturing them as an enemy type, but they could be a hero, too.

• Directional idles*, walk, attack or defend, and take-hit** animations.
• Three colors (aside from transparency); includes a default greyscale and 5 colored samples using Aseprite's Bubblegum16 palette.
• Consistent two-frame animation; walk cycle has an optional third frame (a head bounce).

*There are two idles: one a head bounce, the other a leg bounce. Use whichever one you prefer.

**The take-hit animation includes a leg movement to imply the character is being pushed back. If you don't want it, you can swap those legs with the idle sprite's legs.

July 18, 2025 Update: The sheet named Sp_Stock_UPDATED is the most up-to-date, including cleaned-up animation frames. It is greyscale only. The other sheets are considered legacy assets but are still downloadable. Read the devlog for more details.
