Barong's Blast

Prompt: A detailed, high-resolution 2D video game animation pose sheet for the protagonist, "Barong Man," a rugged Filipino revolutionary. The art style is hyper-detailed, hand-drawn 16-bit pixel art, directly inspired by the "Metal Slug" (SNK) arcade aesthetic, with thick outlines and vibrant, gritty colors on a transparent background. The Hero's Gear: He is wearing a distinctive, wide-brimmed woven salakot hat and an intricately embroidered, rugged barong Tagalog combat tunic (piña texture, partially open with rolled sleeves) over a simple shirt. He wears cargo pants, reinforced boots, and a leather gear harness with empty ammunition pouches. The Action Poses (All without a weapon): This sheet contains four distinct animation cycles, displayed horizontally. Crucially, in ALL poses, his hands and arms are posed as if gripping and supporting an oversized, heavy two-handed rifle, but his hands are empty and slightly open, ready for the item to be layered on. WALKING: A forward-facing walking cycle (8-frames). Barong Man is moving with his body turned slightly to the side. Both hands are held up, empty, in a precise "rifle grip" posture near his chest. RUNNING: An aggressive, forward-leaning sprinting cycle (8-frames). His steps are powerful. Both hands are held in the "invisible rifle" grip, arms steady, mirroring the weapon-carrying posture of Metal Slug characters. SHOOTING (Static): A single, stable standing pose. His body is turned three-quarters, head focused forward. Both empty hands are positioned perfectly—one hand forward, one back at the imaginary trigger—with shoulders tense, pantomiming the recoil of an automatic weapon. SHOOTING WHILE RUNNING: An aggressive forward run-and-gun stance. His legs are mid-stride (from the running cycle), but his torso is turned, holding the "invisible rifle"(meaning no actual gun) posture steady toward the enemy while his legs move.
