CHARACTER & ANIMATION Top down RPG (Pixel Art Tutorial)

I actually used the 3 step approach layout technique with the four colors, and WOW it made my first Sprite sooo much better than just winging it! And I only used five shades of black and gray so I wouldn't go overboard with colors. Thanks Mort!

Thank you so much for this tutorial! 😁

9 direction? i only use 8, and your character is also 8 directions. If i missed something, pls tell me

8*

9 direction 💀

You made a 9 minute and 8 second video teaching us lots about animation in pixel art, but only spent 20 seconds doing your 'shameless self promotion'. This is why your channel is so awesome. You actually provide so much quality teaching, you could have easily gotten away with spending 1 minute or 2 on the promotion but you kept the ratio much lower. Thanks for this.

Such a good tutorial thank you very much for this! Has helped me tremendously!

Hi, could u please share your side walk sprite form your base character for us ? 🤭

Which direction is the ninth direction?
Up, Down, Left, Right, NW, NE, SW, SE.
I only count that as eight directions! :P

they're head s to big

8 direction

Can you make a another video for animation but go over it with some details
(like side walking)

I would like to use your character bases, to make animations for tiktok I would like to ask if you would give me permission

anyone knows what you call games like gta 1 view.. top down view results in google is diff

Very informative thank you good sir

What program is that

tHANK YOUUU

Why did you say nine directions when there were eight directions

Feel like learning blender would be easier then you can make your enemy/player render as pixels and edit movements easier and the 8 directions movements

Well the enemys will be a pain

For those who never heard and for those who wanna share it.

HERE IS THE MILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION: Will you go to Heaven when you die? Here’s a quick test: Have you ever lied, stolen, or used God’s name in vain? Jesus said, “Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” If you have done these things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart, and the Bible warns that one day God will punish you in a terrible place called Hell. But God is not willing that any should perish. Sinners broke God’s Law and Jesus paid their fine. This means that God can legally dismiss their case: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Then Jesus rose from the dead, defeating death. Today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will give you eternal life as a free gift. Then read the Bible daily and obey it. God will never fail you....

helo

u say 9 but there are 8 sides

how come he only have 120k subs?

I might attempt the 9 direction sprite.

Non-Pixel Artist: cool, but it's just pixel art

Beginner Pixel Artist: god please teach me your ways

ayo can i get a dowloand of the sprites template that you used?

Thank you for the vid:) it's very helpful! I have a question i can't seem to find the answer to: how do i go about creating interchangeable outfits and hairstyles for my sprites? Do i have to make a complete animated sprite for each and every combintion of outfit + hairstyle, or separate files with the animated outfit and hair that will he overlaying with the base sprite file? I'm trying to figure out what assets i need to create for a game that would have a character able to change hairstyles and outfits. But since im not a programmer i dunno how it works when it comes to integrate the assets into che game.
Thank you!

Talented and handsome... What a guy... 😳

Can i Download it somewhere?

Is there any money in creating sprites and tile sets? I’d like to make my own game but I don’t do code, but I can draw.

Excellent tips and a great tutorial. Thanks!

is there a platform for my 8 year old grandson to make a pixel man?

Thanks man this really helped and I was able to make a sprite for the game I'm making

Your video as well as the website you recommended are so amazing! I don't like copying other people's work, so some handful of references would be very helpful! <3

Reminds me of penguin dance

could u do 4 directions but bigger? I cant find

does anyone know how to change a personage from 22 degrees to 45 degrees?

I like the little dog that is at the bottom of the video.

This was literally what I needed - you’re now my go to for Pixel Art :D

Like for the dog that is helping us to know which time of the video we're in

Sorry, i don't know English well, but i think this tutorial will help me without translation into Russian

The literal programs color features remind me of that terrible fetish furry game that was never meant to be made.

what canvas size is best to use for topdown characters?

I used your base as a reference. Thank you so much! I made a bandit! Realy easy to make something nice. It took some time but it looks great!

Bro im so thankful for finding your channel, nice tutorials, pretty easy to follow!

my dilemma: do i choose an even or an odd number of pixels for my sprite?

This is the first time you've done something where I think I could do better or at least as good--which should be the case considering I have a frikin' honors degree in animation & electronic media. Nice to know you are in fact human, and I'm not completely useless. lol
