Above sprites are Metroid quests sprites from eternal crystals slightly modified for better walking movement but need some work, trying to keep to original kain and Cecil but not too good at it lol any help or advice appreciated.

Here’s kain with more original animation and single leg side view like ff4

There's this custom sprite of Kain someone made working off of Record Keeper's Kain sprites.

There's also the RK sprites themselves, they aren't full in terms of FF6 sprite sheets, but could give you a leg-up.

Found this under Decil on sprite database https://i.imgur.com/VeyA7pI.jpg 
Think this is record keeper cecil with some normal cecil animation as well

---

Tried adding the expanded part of the record keeper kain sprite but it’s too big

---

Here’s kain with original colours and new back/front sprite at bottom.
Anybody know how to resize the front/back sprites or does it need to be made?

Here’s kain with modified arms for victory pose and magic pose, trying to get straight arms for standing pose can’t get it right though. Have him kains legs from ff4 as well lol looks a bit weird n needs coloured.https://i.imgur.com/rnZI7d8.jpg

Here’s my last attempt at kain with straight arms pose, think it looks good, hopefully a spriter sees this and tells me how it is.

Changed arms on standing pose, raised arms and magic cast pose, also walking poses

Just compare to Metroid quests sprite as this was one I used

Just asking, what was wrong with the old sprite sheets from the database? Well, not so much "wrong", but what didn't fit your taste?

I wanted to give him a good walking animation because he walks with arms up on metroid quests kain sprite but his Cecil only had one hand up and  had a semi normal walking animation, but I also wanted to keep the look of the ff4 kain sprite. Hope this makes sense.

Kain does walk with his arms up, never noticed that... A suggestion, the facing left head down sprite has his arms down. That's about half your walking sprite right there and wouldn't be impossible to adjust a bit to make the rest look competent.
As for Cecil, I see... I'd try merging some arms/legs from Edgar, for a base, then make them fit the palette.

All that being said, I'm not enough of a sprite artist to really offer any good suggestions, maybe just something to chew on.

Good luck.
