More Characters can we make a difference?

I would honestly really like the Kraden idea emphasised in the trailer, so, I started on some sprites for him. I'm to the point of all I need to do is remove the background behind him, and I even got a few more screens in of other characters to(Isaac's parents, Saturos and Menardi, townsfolk...) but I'm asking this because I'll put more effort into this if it can help expand the game, but if not, I'll just do it for Venus Lighthouse. If it can help, then I would encourage everyone to do what they can to get those animations for characters that they would like to see in the game(Pier, Sheba, Alex, etc...). I don't mean for this to pressure you into doing more work then you have to Max, but, if its all you need, and its something we can help with, I'm sure as a community we would love to know and help as much as possible.
Here's what I have so far:

Edit: here are some updated(and cleaned) sprites, I've added in Alex and that awesome dude in the first town in GS2(which I found, finally).

PS. All the rows of a character with a red circle behind them means its a confirmed animation loop. The rest I need to check.

Heh, now think about how the spriters felt when they were told what they needed to do for Golden Sun ^__^;;;

I was thinking of working on getting the peirs sprites, but to be perfectly honest, i don't have the time or patience to play through an entire rom to get them, or to learn how to get them :P (I think i know how, but I don't want to waste time only to find out that i'm doing it wrong).
And let's not forget that they may not actually have all directions >_<

like I said before, since he isn't a major character then he only has 6 directions, up-left, down-left, left, and their opposites, unlike the rest who have 8.

Thanks for helping us out with this one, saves us a lot of time.
Most of those characters will now make an appearance in our next version.
Thanks again!

just a little thing I have as a preferance. you know,
^
>
V
instead of what you did of
V
>
^
just because its easier on the eyes and it plain old looks better.
Oh, also, I got the islander done too if you feel like animating him. I could still animate everyone, I'm just focusing on sprite ripping right now, so you helping out is getting it done a lot faster.

I checked with Max, and piers and sheba are definately confirmed. The other 3 are practically garunteed in, unless Max gets lazy :P
