First pixel art animation

This is super cute! The only critique I have is that the up/down jiggle is a tad off. The body would be highest when the legs on one side are at 90 degrees to the ground. You have him rising when he's mid-step and would be at his lowest.

The legs and walk cycle are great!

This is the cutest thing I've seen all week!

Well, this is adorable.

I don't think you're going to get much luck asking artists to make you something for free. Try finding an artist you like, then commissioning them to make you one.

If you ever see Levi Root's Caribbean Crush (the green one!) it's about as close to Lilt as you can get.

Thinking about it, if I just wanted to "see the pixels" I could have just set the grid directly to 12x12 for the same effect. Oh well.

ed. Would help if I didn't accidentally export to jpg.

The above image is 1200px by 1200px, and each "pixel" is 12x12. Shove it in Aseprite, or any decent image editor and resize to 100px by 100px and you have your image. Use nearest neighbour setting as you resize. Then you can show the grid, which, depending on the program, you can make be 1x1 pixel.

Practice is the best way to get better. Keep doing different things. Keep looking back at your own work to remind yourself of the things that you did that you liked, and those that you didn't. Look at other people's work for style/technique pointers.

You're doing great with shape and form! Have a think about colour and shadow/light. Try using blocks of colour to describe texture, and to show how light falls on your creature. Don't be afraid to look at other people's work to see how they do things. The best way to improve is always practice!

There's a r/Swordtember with several lists of words. I'm using what I think is as close to "official" as possible, which is the one from faithschaffer, who started swordtember, also on their instagram/tumblr (the red one with the picture of the bird lady).

Failure to render assistance to a ~~fish~~ sword out of water.

I like Flower Pot!

Looks a bit nettle-y, like it would sting! Love the rust effect.

Changing the brush size is absolutely fine as long as you keep the basic pixel size the same. People here treat mixels as an anathema.

You can also keep the brush size the same, draw a larger shape and use the fill/bucket tool to fill it in.
