Hey Hello! Fighting game sprites fall flat if they lack a readable silhouette, especially when dealing with the exaggerated, big-head proportions of arcade-style caricatures. I specialize in character concept art and 2D game asset creation, focusing on expressive, cut-out cartoon styles with bold outlines rather than rigid pixel art. I fully grasp your technical pipeline, from strict canvas constraints to clean RGBA alpha transparency requirements. To ace this test, I will first sketch your character with comically large features and an instantly recognizable silhouette that pops on a fighting screen. Next, I’ll clean up the linework into bold, clean vectors, animating a fluid 3-frame walk cycle and a snappy high-kick frame while keeping the character perfectly centered with a locked ground-contact point. Finally, I’ll export the sprites natively within your exact 128x192 px canvas as clean, transparent RGBA PNGs completely free of checkerboard or background bleeding. Do you have a specific public figure in mind for this test caricature, or should I create a unique fictional character? Lets discuss this over a chat.
