hi anxious! I love the aesthetic on the trees you've designed. if you don't mind, what do you use to design this? I'm interested in working on 2d art, pixel art, and have been using piskelapp, but was wondering what other resources were available !
I'm not Anxious Avocado, BUT I do personally recommend "Aseprite". I've used it as my editor for a few years, and is definitely worth the purchase.
hi Fisher! thanks so much for the response, anyone can respond really I just wanted to hear from the community the thoughts on best environments. I will definitely check out asperite, 19.99 doesn't seem too bad.
Great job!
hey thanks for the kind words, I use Pyxel Edit which does cost, I can't remember how much I paid but it was less then £10 and is designed for pixel art BUT you really don't need to pay for the software, there's so much out there, Krita is free and can be set up for pixel art if you just wanted to try some stuff out. I've never used Aseprite but I've heard a lot of good stuff about it.
Best of luck hope this helps!
oh thanks anxious! I'll check out all these other resources you mentioned and compare!
In my knowlede Aseprite is hands down and by far the best modern tool for pixel art, and an ideal standard to migrate to heavier software.
A rant about freeware graphic editors:
Freeware tools are in general kinda unfriendly, and the purpose behind their creation detours a lot from any concept of universal standard, the effort to be "innovative" or downright "Punk" kills the functionality.
Perhaps in 09/2020 i'm wrong, perhaps something good has came out in the last 2 years, and i still haven't heard about that; I don't know.
I kinda gave up looking for a freeware tool for pixel art i could honestly recommend.
Of course if one follows the tutorials the various krita, Gimp, and so on, they work to a certain degree, and with some fiddling it is certainly possible to wrestle some decisions from the program, but they simply aren't made by developers that listen to the users.
But in a freeware program, having to look in the manual to find a procedure that is unique to that program, it requires 3 dialogs and 5 clicks in order to replace a color... Is terribly wrong, if the target is somebody that doesn't have 20$ in their pocket. The knowledge aquired by fiddling with those programs is nearly useless outside the program.
oh wow this is illuminating and a fierce argument for Aseprite. which I am totally spelling correctly and then my computer is the one that is telling me it's wrong. I have 20 to spare, I kind of want to see what aseprite is all about!
