Is it possible to separate the legs and upper body of a character? Basically have a character be made of two objects : the legs as a base, and the body "following" them around. That way, we can have the legs animated while the player is moving around and have the upper body do different things (idle, attack...) at the same time without having to create a new sprite for each possible combination.

Pic is a bunch of WIP template poses. If anyone has any suggestions what the actual character design should be like, go ahead and do tell

(Also, using the legs-body technique, would it be possible to create multiple "skins" to customize your character? We'd just have to swap the upper body, that way we can have way more people contribute to the project by making their own body sprites)
