Danielle Corona 2D Sprite 2022

After several weeks of trial and error and manipulating the joints, I finally finished a pretty decent 2D puppet for Dana! I'm so happy with how these came out, and they're a major improvement from the sprites I made a couple years ago. Dana's puppets include several facial emotes, hand emotes, and the original files are easy to edit so I can make all sorts of alternate colors and outfits. It's not visible here, but I had to make a second form of Dana's hair for when she faces the left due to it's asymmetrical design. I had to take inspiration from Paper Mario for the skirt of Dana's dress, which is split into four pieces for animation. Speaking of animation, now I just need to think about what sort of program I should use. I've done research and I'm considering using Spine 2D, but the price tag is making me hesitant. I'll jump the gun when I get there.
