Recently, I decided it was time to start focusing on creating my first completely original game, so I chose to start with making an action platformer. After a short amount of planning and work towards the game, I came across one problem: I never actually made any characters from the side before(unless you count that unfinished toadsworth I made a long time ago) and I don't fully understand what I'm doing.
Well, at the very least this is what I have so far today

I can kind of make a character facing the front, but when I make them face the side or add a weapon, I sort of mess things up a bit.
EDIT: I fixed a few of the mistakes in the sprite (still quite a lot left to fix DX)
