Character
Design
Hair, eyes, outfit and colors come from the Base body settings below, so key art and sprite stay one design. Changes show here right away. Redraw applies them to the pixels.
If the silhouette alone doesn't say who this is, push the signature feature further out.
Folding merges the rarest, closest colors first. Undo restores the sheet.
Left is real size, right is 2×. Pick the row in the animation list below.
Sprite sheet
Changed. Press Redraw all to apply it to the pixels.
Art director
Checks this frame against the style rules the 16-bit masters followed: color count, silhouette, smooth outline slopes, stray pixels, speckle, banding, top-left light, pillow shading and hue-shifted ramps.
Pixie loading…
Pixie is MobCorp's pixel-art agent. Its stray-pixel critic was evolved from Pining Hollow's approved art, not hand-written, and it cites the style bible for every call. Cyan squares mark its picks.

Timeline
Steps
Steps run in order. Tick with previous to run a step at the same time as the one above it, like a camera pan while someone walks. Characters use map tiles for x and y.
