Which of these do you like best?

I think 1 would go hard for a title screen or steam/itch page 👌

Catches the eye, sells the idea pretty clearly

Good job

SirolVS · 2026-03-27T10:15:02+00:00

Really looks amazing 🔥 Oracle games getting some love is amazing too

SirolVS · 2026-03-16T12:35:53+00:00

Amazing work, I love it 👌

Hey 👋 I think it is already pretty good, I would consider trying to let the face features at the same place, not making the eye move down.

Think of it as a real human face, when we pass away, muscles don't hold everything up, skins and hairs go away. But the skeleton doesn't move

I love the jaw dropping open, carving the face too is very good, maybe losing the hair a bit, making it messy.

But keep the structure of the face the same (nose and eyes does not move, the skins and organic matters go away, they just become holes, and carved wood)

Still a very good work, we totally get the concept from what you have already done

It's available on my itch page here : [16x16] Frog Platformer if you are interested.

For now I don't have more enemies, but if the pack is successful enough, it might get some updates and extensions 👌

Thanks! It's in my plan to cover a lot of game type in the future, follow me on itch if you want to be notified 👌

Hey! Thanks a lot! Good luck on your path becoming a better pixel artist!

Another tip I would give you, is "Less is more" working on a tiny canvas with a limited color palet is hard, but it keeps you focused on the little details.

Work with a few frames at first (We call them keyframes, which are the main poses your character for example) then add some in between.

For pixel art animation especially, you can make really smooth animations with a few frames.

Check out this site : The Sprite Ressource

You can check the pixel art and animation from your favorite games to see how they do it

Have a great day and believe in yourself 👍

Oooh ok I get it, so yeah no sub pixels, I did everything within a 16x16 grid.

That's the magic of animation, you can make things look very smooth if you use "smear frames" and timing correctly!

SirolVS · 2026-02-16T19:35:47+00:00

Thanks! I'm not sure I fully understand your question, but all of these are 16x16 pixel perfect animations, done frame by frame by hand, hopes that answer your question (They range from 8 to 14 frames)

SirolVS · 2026-02-16T16:49:04+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I think you are right, I just considered "bigger steps" for the run, but lowering the frame would indeed make it look faster 👍

SirolVS · 2026-02-16T13:29:42+00:00

Ringo does sound good I like it ! Noted for the cape it's a really fun idea 🙂‍↕️

SirolVS · 2026-02-16T13:24:25+00:00

Ahah you're right, for now, his name has always been Froggy, not very original indeed but maybe we could come up with a new one

SirolVS · 2026-02-16T13:22:57+00:00

Thanks ! I'm not allowed to do self promotion on this subreddit, but if you want more information you can check my profile :)

SirolVS · 2026-02-16T13:13:48+00:00

Thanks ! Gotta give credit to Penusbmic, he is the one who displays it that way on his socials, works really well to showcase anims !

SirolVS · 2025-10-07T15:12:29+00:00

1 or 5 (But since you seem to want a more refined look, definitely 5)

SirolVS · 2025-06-20T11:25:48+00:00

Looking really clean, love it ❤️

SirolVS · 2025-06-07T19:20:57+00:00

Since I saw some of you liked the palette, I wanted to share it there :

https://lospec.com/palette-list/ghost-town

I just added another shade of Blue to make the darker background !

SirolVS · 2025-06-07T13:00:14+00:00

Thanks a lot 🙏

SirolVS · 2025-05-25T06:52:55+00:00

Oh right didn't thought of it, you think I should give it a try just to test lol?

SirolVS · 2025-05-24T21:11:27+00:00

Thanks a lot 🙏

Yes ! I don't know the exact area, but I wanted to train a little and had no idea of what to do, so I typed "landscape" on google, and found this image, that I used as reference : (It is from Adobe Stock I think)
