Luminous & Soporific Valerian's Sprites – Shattered Grail
Sprite | Portrait
When Valerian the God Tamer summons a God to his aid, his wings grow large and become whole, and he takes on some of their aspects.
These are his Hungry God (Luminous) and Sleeping God (Soporific) forms.
These sprites don't back or left facing alts, but each new God he tames gets a new alt with a palette swap and some unique detailing. I thought it would be fun to combine some of these into shared uploads, both to make it more dynamic to look at but also to cut down on some clutter in the gallery.
Luminous Valerian's sprite uses 16 (+1 transparency) unique colors. Soporific Valerian's sprite has 19 (+1 transparency). Both sprites are approximateing 140x180 pixels.

Yeah, I'm really happy with how it looks. The sprite is scaled up 400%, so each "pixel" is actually a 4x4 block of 16 pixels, but the transition between the two colors is dithered between the actual pixels in the image. It allows the phasing to look relatively smooth while still fitting into a .gif file that can only contain a total of 256 unique colors.
I only just barely squeezed this all into a gif that I could upload to FA! The file size ended up just shy of 10MB.
