Leo/Kefka/Banon/Merchant/Ghost riding animations

Has anyone given these a shot? I'm not much of a spriter, but I was able to make one for Leo using scraps of his other poses (I'll post it later; it's on my desktop and I'm not at home right now).

What do you all have in regards to the others? I'm looking for ideas to work off of, not to directly copy.

Once I get a better feel for the various kinds of sprites and animations, I'm going to try to work on a Kain sprite using his original FF4j/FF2us colors and patterns, and I feel like taking the time to "complete the incomplete" sprite sheets that are already present in FFVI will help me out in that regard.
