Blue Phoenix's sprites

[Silverthorn]

Is spriting still a thing? No idea, but here we go... tl;dr: Inuyasha et al. at the bottom.

Picture this, it is a gloomy November of 2018, been watching Inuyasha for a while (with a speed of ~1 episode/day), and felt like doing some sprites. Somewhen between blocking in colors and shading, I talked with @king_freeza (aka. prince_freeza as he was called at that time) who encouraged me to size them up to add more detail (considering how much I like detailing stuff as opposed to getting the basics right, he hit a sweet spot ).

Turns out that the extra-time required to work at 4x the original res was complete overkill and I put the file somewhere in my pictures-folder to let it rest -- which is just an euphemistic way of abandoning things.

Lately, I've been working on polishing up sketches/paintings I made throughout 2018 (a couple of the finished ones are here, subject updates within the next couple weeks) which brings me back to these sprites. Sized them down, shaded, and called it a day. Now I can safely archive them somewhere other than my computer and forget about them completely



For a reason unknown to me, I decided to add a (very minor) character of the series who only appeared for a brief time. Gives a relatively clear indication which episode I was at at that time lol.
