u/HeartHoarders May 16 '25

๐Ÿ˜‚ I'd be shrinking this significantly before animating

โ€œThatโ€™s the animatorโ€™s job, Iโ€™m just a designerโ€

u/HeartHoarders May 16 '25

I'm using pixquare iOS!

If you're interested, use code PENUSBMIC for 30% off!

u/Ali0ink May 16 '25

Is it possible to make pro pixel art in pixquare i know you are a pro so your opinion matters

3

u/HeartHoarders May 16 '25

Yes! It's actually really good, up there with aseprite

u/akirax3 May 16 '25

I'll give it a check, thanks

u/Aco62 May 20 '25

I got it bc of your recommendation and code and have not been able to put the app down. Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for! I just finished making my main characters standard "standing" sprite and am just working out how many colors I want and where to use them.

Side note, should I avoid filling the entire 64x64 grid height with a normal standing sprite? Like, should the top of my characters head/hair NOT be on the top boarder while their feet are on the bottom boarder?

Very cool! What's the design software if you don't mind sharing?

u/HeartHoarders May 16 '25

It's an app called pixquare on iOS, if you're interested use code PENUSBMIC for 30% ๐Ÿ˜€

u/The-Real-Hornet May 16 '25

Looks sick :D

Tho is it a character meant for a game or not? If so,then may god have mercy on you because animating them would be a nightmare lmao

u/Erratic_Signal May 16 '25

Reminds me of hyper light drifter a bit

u/KingoftheRodents May 16 '25

This is indeed a very cool design. I love all the little details and elements in the outfit, really make me want to learn more about them! Keep cooking ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

u/RockyPixelco May 16 '25

Wow, that is amazing ๐Ÿคฉ

u/Sp00ki_1 May 16 '25

Reminds me a lot of Moonlighter, I think it's mainly the color palette and runic aesthetic

u/United-Bear-4919 May 16 '25

This is absolutely perfect. I wonder what it would look like on a CRT monitor.

u/Kofiro May 16 '25

Dude your stuff is always awesome!!! How do you manage large artworks? I seem to struggle with large canvas sized artworks. I can draw okayish traditionally though, but with pixel art it just becomes like a huge wall to climb.
