Character

I knew what I wanted out of the character already and so I quickly settled on a design. I wanted a cartoon cat that was fat and easily replicated, something based on an oval and very simple. I sketched a couple of ideas and found one that worked relatively easily. Here's a scan of my design as part of a walk cycle.

I've never done pixel art before but I downloaded graphics gale and I'm having some success with it. Right now I'm using this tutorial. It's time to sleep. No need to keep an actual 48 hour game jam schedule if I'm giving myself a week, right?
