Imposing Evil Knight Pixel Art Sprite Sheet

"Create a pixel art sprite sheet of an evil knight with a 10-frame animation sequence matching the reference image. The knight should wear blackened, spiked armor with deep red accents and a tattered red cape flowing dramatically. The helmet should have a glowing red visor or menacing skull-like faceplate to emphasize evil intent. Equip the knight with a jagged greatsword (instead of a straight sword) and a reinforced shield with a dark, fiery rune symbol. The animation should include: standing (two angles), walking (two angles), attacking with the greatsword (two angles), defending with the shield (two angles), and falling/knocked down (two angles). Use a pixel art style with a darker palette (black, deep red, gray) and ensure the knight’s movements convey aggression and menace. Adjust the proportions slightly to make the knight appear more imposing while keeping the original sprite size."
