Movement wise that walk probably wouldn't feel very fun at in game, it's very slow and floaty at the moment.
I would try and make two major frames, and try and make the motion much more snappy between the two and aim for a feeling of weight.
Working on the run cycle now, it's quite different. Walk cycle is for: when he is getting up to speed, computer controlled walkTo movements or walking up inclines.
Hello, I love Pixel Art and see some great stuff here. Over the winter during breaks from coursework I made a few pixel pieces, mostly walks and loops. hoping to maybe do something in a pixel style once I learn more about Unity.:)
Hello, What software do you wizards use to animate your pixel art? I was using flash,but my trial expired. Using Ps cs5 now,but the animation tools on that are a bit limited. Just wondering is there's something cheap or free to use , really new to the pixel art thing. Thanks in advance.

THIS THREAD IS AWESOME.
Personally? Aseprite. The interface is a bit.....hard on the eyes.... and some people can't bear it, but I find it perfectly tolerable and the program is really slick.

I use Pixen. It crashes a lot but has always on preview and does autobackup. Aseprite is good too, also can recommend GRAFX2.
Photoshop seems a little unintuitive after using these apps, but you might be ok with it's quirky logic if starting out afresh.
Made these in Asesprite, apparently Pixen is only for macs so unfortunately I didn't get to try that one out,but asesprite is good. The only thing that was kinda lame was the layers..not able to add a frame to an individual layer, with out adding a frame to all the other layers. still pretty awesome tool tho. thanks again!
Just learned about this thread. Holy #$@ some awesome work in here. I posted these in the 2d WAYWO thread. Got bitten by the pixel art bug. Been having a blast so far. Need to try animating some time.
hawken yes well and no ha. It's actually made up of 3 systems, the rain falling, the raining hitting the ground, and the rain drips. then i go thru and place it all by hand, matching up rain drips to rain impact particles.
JayCool looks cool!
my crits would be add some overlaping anim to the flag. add some distance by fogging out the background and adding some slower moving snow in the background. ice on the post (you could go crazy here by adding some nice reflections of the flag waving in the ice.) and maybe even try setting it up as a scene with some cool parallax. last thing i would love to see gusts of wind and snow blowing the snow of the peaks of your your snow mounds.
My friends and I have been working on this new triangular pixel drawing app called TRIXEL.
Basically, you get a hexagon composed of 726 triangles that you paint various colors. Good for pseudo 3d, surreal, Escheresque doodles. Or Minecraft art. Whichever.
We'd love any and all feedback, so if you have some spare time, check it out, trixelate something, and let me know how it went.
So Happy Star Wars day or May the Fourth Be With You or whatever's your Star Wars greeting of choice.

We'd really appreciate any and all feedback, so, if ya have some spare time, come on over, trixelate something, and let me know how it goes: http://trixel.io
Moreover, we've started releasing weekly challenges to our users. This week's challenge, in observation of Star Wars Day, is, uh, well, Star Wars.
Here's the "official" description. Hope to see you there!
CHALLENGE: In observation of a grand holiday all week long, create a Star Wars themed trixelation.
No real guidelines here, but special consideration will be given to those Trixelians who can create a recognizable character in as few trixels as possible
PRIZES:
Stickers of your winning trixelation
10 pictures of bananas with "George Lucas" written on (etched into?) them. Oh boy oh boy oh boy!!
Sorry to bump the thread only for a question. Does anyone have any good resources or tips for designing tile sets with an extremely limited colour palette (3 colours)
I am new to the whole pixel art style and I want a challenge, so tired of being stuck in a rut.

Advertising this tool again, It isn't mine but its fantastic and cheap or free.
Here is a test tileset I whipped up. I don't plan on expanding it or using it for anything.
Dude. That's Fantastic. If you're looking for crits, my two would be that the smoke cloud after the main explosion is.. a bit too perfectly spherical - You're missing out on a chance to warp and deform it into more mushroom-y shapes. It's also not floating upwards as fast as I'd expect. The other is that the sparks coming out the sides look almost exactly symmetrical. Could possibly look better if they all came out one way, or had a more random distribution.
Anyhow, other than those, it looks awesome, sir!
I've been working in a 2 man team for the last 7 or 8 days on this little jetpack puzzle almost-a-platformer thing. Still very much WIP, building and testing gameplay stuff. Next up will be a full art pass of this level (link to video of me making it through).
The project I am working on is a turned based strategy game called Wills and Wonders. Here is some animated sprites from my game, let me know what you guys think.
The Troll, Cyclops, and Giant, facing the right direction; basic attack and using the smash ability.
The Warg transforming into the Hellhound and howling, then into the Cerberus to give you a dramatic stare.
This is a grave spawning a Revenant.
Here are a couple scenes mimicking gameplay aspects.

Has quite an appealing look to it
This is cool! Makes me want to try something similar myself. Getting mini system shock vibes out of that!

Lots of great art here ! The Slain project seems awesome!
Started pixel art a week ago and I'd love to get some critiques on this little piece !

Here's a trippy example of what you can do. Hope you enjoy!
Awesome stuff man, I'd play that so fast.
Here are some PixelFanArt that I did recently
here is a skeleton spawner.!
I'm really digging the last one
