I tried to fake it by tilting just the face, instead of moving the entire torso roughly. Seems like it didn't work as expected, but thanks for the tip, I'll try it the next time I animate any walk/run cycle.

You can achieve good results with anti-alias where it is needed (if fits the style), and gradients.
I was just not sure how to achieve this effect with so few pixels. Looking at some materials studies will certainly help me.

Thanks for that! I didn't know about it. My attention to both animation and static pixel artworks will be balanced, so this way I can learn both consistently, a necessary achievement for developing game assets.
A few characters sprites may spawn while I progress, but expect some attempts at background pixeling soon.
