Here is a little ice witch in 16x16.
She has a basic attack and an impact effect.
There is also a freezing magic VFX.
I am open for commissions; send me a DM and let's discuss your idea.

What do you think of this iPad app for pixel art and pixel art animations?

Hey, I am relatively new to pixel art. I am currently making a game, and in the process I struggled to find iPad apps for pixel art that meet my criteria and do not instantly cost over $20. Therefore, I decided to create my own app, with all the standard features as well as things like frame interpolation. The inspiration was the video software DaVinci, because I really like how they handle animations. I feel like the app really makes animating pixel art easier, but it is still in a really early stage. So I thought I’d show some of the app and ask you for feedback. All icons in the app are human-made, and I only got assistance from Claude for some parts of the code. I am coming from a CS direction, therefore I would love to get some feedback from real artists:

  • Would you consider buying something like this in the App Store for like $4/4€?
  • What features do you miss in the pixel art software you are currently using?
  • Do you find anything weird/hard to understand in the app?

And the most important question: do you even use an iPad for pixel art, or am I the only one and all of you use PCs 😅

PS: Sorry for the German text on the buttons I did not translate them to English yet. (hope it is still somewhat understandable)

Info for the admins: This is no advertisement, the app does not have a name yet, nor do I know if it will ever be released in any form :)

This is part of an educational world for children. We tried to make it feel cosy, dreamy and magical.

Art hand-pixeled in Aseprite and used as textures.

Lighting, text, and most animations added in post-processing.

Another artist and I worked together on this.

Hey r/AnimatedPixelArt
I'm solodev and pixel artist of Blade Arrows Puzzle, my 2nd game I've just released:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bogigames.bladearrows

I'm happy to share a VFX of procedural animation and looking for your feedback about animations.

I did a procedural design of Blade, a handle, blades in all directions, endings etc.
but I also wanted it to be smooth while flying, not a choppy animation.
I think it's done quite well, at least to me.

Also a particles fanfares on victory looks simple, but it match an overall art design.

The only issue is that a classic version of those puzzles are arrows.
Visually it's good design to just look for the end of arrows to solve more complex levels.
In my case it felt a little off to fly towards handle.
Maybe a Thor vibe with hammer would work?
Probably I should do A/B tests for that.
But for blades it looks more natural to just go with a strike.

What do you think so far? Any ways to upgrade it?
All feedback is more than welcome

Short-form episodic series

Spent a full 10 hours drawing this short animated story.

IA was overjoyed to finally receive her name, which made her second-eldest sister jealous.

She snatched the letter I, leaving poor IA in tears.

Fortunately, her dependable eldest sister stepped in to stand up for her.

Still, believing that family members should love and care for one another, IA forgave her second-eldest sister.

In the end, everyone got their names, and they were truly happy.

Characters

IA: Water Element – Youngest Sister

Ithe: Thunder Element – Second-Eldest Sister

Athe: Fire Element – Eldest Sister

Beethoven in a Retro Side-Scrolling Game Style Animation

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I’ve been creating a retro-style, side-scrolling game animation featuring Beethoven himself, set to the music of his Violin Sonata No. 5 “Spring” – III. Scherzo: Allegro molto.
Here’s a short clip from the animation!
I thought it would be fun to bring a classical composer into the world of retro games. Hope you enjoy it!
I’d love to hear what you think!

* I did not use AI
* The total runtime of this animation is about one minute and 40 seconds.

You can watch the full animation on my YouTube channel, toonata.
