I was bored at work so started to sketch some sprites for a vertical shooter. Here are the ones I have started.

Eye Glig

Marnt

Hither Dragon

Hey,

That looks fun. I like the idea of using a dragon for the main character. So many of these types of games are planes, you know? And this is one of my favorite genres of casual game.

The sprites look pretty interesting. Of course, I know you're talking about adding polish and animation. Neat all around.

Peace,

I think the dragon's neck might need to be slimmed a tiny tiny bit where the horns and neck area meets.
I like the jellyfish dudes, with the right animations they could look pretty sweet with their tentacles swaying back and forth.

Where are they fighting?
I think you could twist it into an ocean shooter... but then again, most space shooters look like they're in an ocean anyways XD

It is gonna be a fantasy shooter actually. If I ever finish it I may go half RPG half shooter.

Here is an animated Marnt.

Hey,

The animation looks great however I would put a little more swing into the left and right tentacles so that they appear to be blowing in the wind. I think the endings of them need to snap around.

Just my humble opinions,
