Custom Sprites for hacking project

It just seems to me that the Lufia 2 menu style is EXACTLY what you're looking for, and it's rather unique so it'll probably stand out. Sadly, I'm only a frankenspriter, so I doubt I could do them personally, but I just wanted to throw the idea out there.

They actually look pretty good and I would love something similar. Yeah anything that is outside a normal 16x24 walking pose would be good. But there isn't many people on this site who could do these, only a few I think. Worst case scenario, I'll tweak existing 16x24 poses (casting pose, badass pose) from the original FFVI spritesheets. There is a lot of time left to think about that...
