Thanks for your feedback @Srl1! I’m using Aseprite but there are plenty of good ones for the job :smiley:

I tried 2D art like 2 years ago too, also in Aseprite. No idea why, but it felt super hard, so I gave up after a few months. If I can find my stuff, I’ll share it, but it’s nothing close to how good yours is. Keep it up!

Thanks for your encouraging comment, it goes a long way! :pray:t2:

The only advise i can give is to practice everyday, even a little. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Challenge yourself (don’t just paint easy stuffs). The start is hard for ALL of us, just give a little extra push every day :muscle:t2:, you can do it!

I like this idea to cut-off the bottom part.
Gives more ground feel.
