Big news; I've transitioned from MS Paint to @aseprite.org (also Tiny Farm assets coming soon)

I made a page investigating an issue with CSS image-rendering in browsers which is making our pixelart look awful online. Here's my writeup from today's investigations. polyducks.co.uk/pages/image-... #webdev #pixelart #indiedev

I hand-crafted an artisinal update for the Magic Pencil - no vibes, just code. ✨️ It actually has significant performance improvements, especially for anyone who uses it on a bigger canvas. We're talking 10x speed in some cases. ✌️ (link in the next post)

11 Dot Studio is hiring a Pixel Artist to help create charming characters and environments for their upcoming cozy cafe life sim! 🛰️ Remote, Contract 🎨 2D top-down pixel art XP 🗣️ Smooth communication skills ⤵️

you might notice that in each clip or screenshot i post of amazing treasure valley, the player character, known as a Puppet Body, looks different. that's because you can customise them! you can visit various places around the valley to change your head shape, face, body, and colour palette.

thanks to @thkaspar.bsky.social we now have our first working enemy type in CRUSADE—

what if you could navigate unicode characters by visual similarity?

Hi everyone! I've organized a jam for artists to celebrate 30 years of Tamagotchi! The goal is to create lots of little digital monsters inspired by the famous virtual pet. If you like the idea, you can find all the info here 👇 itch.io/jam/30-years...

"AI remains a series of solutions in search of problems. No one is asking for eerie yassified mannequin faces that clash with a games art direction. Developers are not asking for these features, which threaten to pave over their hard work with a messy Slip ‘N’ Slide of slop. "

Soon you might be able to beam colors from anywhere to everywhere.

it kept getting worse over the last few hours

Oh, that suggest to me there's no control at all. So that would be just one generic model applied to all titles, you can't even provide like sample data or smth. The video already looks repulsive and as with many demos - these are the few cherry-picked examples and the rest is way worse.

More Sprites for yall

haha i guess i was excited about doing art for this game because dozens of characters later, i looked up and suddenly realized it was midnight. i'm going for a few more approachable RPG-esque designs, but others which are drawn from specific occult and art history references.

A miserable little pile of secrets

I updated my Aseprite 95 theme to support all features added up to Aseprite v1.3.17 📣

I haven't had work in months. I'm a good art director, expert pixel artist, and although I prefer to do art, I can also make entire games from start to finish if necessary, as pictured. Not the greatest coder, but I get the job done (like Chapell Roan I guess). please share

You can now visualize how a color palette distributes across OKHsv, OKHsl, OKLCh and CIELab, and compare 6 distance metrics side by side. Zero dependencies, raw WebGL2. Took me 3 years to make something I wasn't too embarrassed to share 🙃 meodai.github.io/color-palett...

🧵 A short summary of work done on Aseprite extensions in February: 🟢 Center Image - New Options & Improvements 🟢 Modify Frame Rate - Tooltip, Undo History & (not much) More 🟢 Cel Tracking - Tooltip, Undo History & (a single) Fix 🟢 (... more in the next post)

I released an update for the Theme Preferences extensions that catches up with changes to the Aseprite theme up to the current version (v1.3.16) ✌️ (link to the full list of changes in the next below, pic unrelated but I liked it so here we are)

First time ever I backed a project on Kickstarter, this looks phenomenal 👀

My Aseprite extension development is very much in "maintenance mode" these days but every one in a while I check what new features are available to the Aseprite API. We can now (well, since v1.3.15 from August 2025) display these tooltips from a Lua script.

It took me over a month but an update for the Center Image extension is finally done, please take a look and download the new version (if you so wish, I'm not your boss) 📢 (link in the reply)

I made this animation exercise, using 8 frames and 100ms for all the movement cycles. I've tried to create different motions using the same limitations for everything. #pixelart #animation #ドット絵

I've been working on an update for the Center Image extension all throughout January. I'm always amazed how much can be added to it as I considered it to be by far the simplest thing I created 🤔

brain still on GB mode, so the party must grow

old mockup #pixelart

It works better than I expected

I kinda love it, might try these colors for an Aseprite theme 🤔

Little thread where I talk about subpixel animation and share some of my own resources I made to study it better. This is a circle I rendered in blender slowly crawling up 2 pixels over the course of 17 frames. I'm showing the aliased version first and I'm going to break down what's happening here
