Hello. I have seen\u00a0beautiful\u00a0pixel art in the games here. I have been doing pixel art myself for some time, but it was always static. Now I think I should learn animation. I usually used Gimp to create graphics, but Gimp has close to no support for animations. So… what program do you use to create animated pixel art?<\/p>\n

Layers, filters, or anything fancy isn’t necessary. All I need is a pencil tool, preferably a color selector, and a dynamic preview to see the animation. It seems like not much, but I don’t know any program like that. Also, I would kind of like it to be free~~~<\/p>\n

Thanks in advance.<\/p>","time":"January 17th, 2013 4:31 pm","title":"Animated pixel art?"}
