I was working on a cute little STG a while ago. The important parts of the engine were pretty much finished, but I gave up because of some lag issues I couldn't sort out. Guess that's what I get for working with XNA. Lesson learned, I'll move on to SDL/OpenGL.
This was one of the bosses. I drew the head, bangs, body, etc. seperately so I could render them in layers and make them move/tilt slightly. The head movement and eyes follow the cursur.
I also tried to copy that shader effect from the neptunia android app that makes it look like the character is breathing.
