I tried to try blending which gave it a neat ghostly aura but the gif is too big to share 
this took WAY too long for me to do, however while producing it, I realized the importance of work flow and how to make the whole animation process more efficient.
-Sprite Sheets are perfect for using copy paste methods, but make sure that the flow matches the layer flow.
-Naming using letters is better then numbers as when you are copy and pasting the numbers start to get a bit hectic. the letters do not change so it’s relatively easy to figure out where you are in the sprite sheet if you walk away for a bit or forget.
There are plenty of things I would do differently now but this section is a perfect paring for the Tile Vania 2D lecture!
