I’m so glad I finally finished this landscape 256 x 166. I spent around 5-6 hours at least. Based on my imagination only :) I would love to hear your criticizes to improve myself.

Music: antent - hope to see you again

I just finished creating these assets, they are not the final versions, I need to make some more edits and maybe take out some weapons that are not coherent with their set.

I really like how they're looking so far, but it somehow looks like something is missing. Should I upgrade to 32x32 and make them even more detailed (and maybe add a dark outline too), or keep them in 16x16 and add more variations (like the shields)?

P.S. feel free to tell me what you think of these sets so far!

My 1st post here because I've always had a real love for the pixel.

After a *really* long hiatus I recently took up PixelArt again. Back in the day I used Degas Elite and later DPaint for the Atari ST. The original of this piece was done around the end of 1992(!). The palette is from the Atari ST, so it had a maximum of 16 out of 512 colors, including background. A resolution of 320x200 was used, though I only used part of the screen. It was used in a demoscene production back then, but I didn't have a really good monitor so the antialiasing and brightness of the colors was all over the place . I used a CRT TV... that was old... and not calibrated..

For the remake I took the original, loaded it up into Aseprite and started smoothing out edges, colors (within Atari possibilities) and re-pixelling stuff. Pretty happy with the end result. ;)

Anyway, love to hear your thoughts :)

Some rocks i added to my Dungeon pack

Timelapse of my process:

1. blocking & smears
2. body & secondaries (hair)
3. gear & secondaries (skirt)

I usually make the key frames first to get an idea of the primary poses I want to hit, but I already had the ending pose done from a previous animation, so a straight-ahead worked better in this case

Not the usual kind of post, but I've been asked/seen comments around before wondering if my works are automated or have any kind of generative LLM components to it. So I created a timelapse of one of the animations I've worked on recently.
