These characters were created for the Liberated Pixel Cup. The female one has a dress inspired by an Irish Dance dress + ghillies. The male one is just a collared shirt, tie/bowtie and vest.
They have all the base sprite animations completed, but I'm not a great artist, so they may feel a bit stiff.

The girl looks great, I'd love to use her as a player character, however I'm stuck with GIMP 2.6 and cannot read these XCF files -- would you be able to post her tilesheets as png?
andrewj: Perhaps this will help you: http://www.unixmen.com/gimp-2-8-is-out-ppa-ubuntu/
pennomi: It' have been nice if you followed Luke Mehl's layout. Notice he does cast then slash. It'd also be nice to add a few color variations and save it as a zip file and compress the layers. Good work, thanks for uploading!
Added more animations to the Irish Dress, thanks to makrohn!
