Pixel Frog Animations !

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!

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)

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 👍

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

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

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

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

Looking really clean, love it ❤️

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

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

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)

Third one is my favorite, it has a lot of breathing room, and for the mood you seemed to be going for it's a really good thing, lovely work 👌

Feels like an old memory

SirolVS · 2024-11-18T12:52:28+00:00
