@priestess of pie:
omg I love them! The color scheme is so pretty <3

@dawnpainterz:
Thats awesome still! Sweet design!

@eyry:
I love that maker, its so cute lol I shrank the image for my post and turns out they look even better when you do that. More crisp

@eyry:
Well its cute, I love that maker lol
picrew is a fun site to play with

@koneko: It's cute! I love the little hearts.

@Avocado: Requirements for tilesets are often different project to project depending on styles and dimensions needed for the game. I don't think there's a hard and fast rule that must be followed, though I know many RPGMaker assets in particular tend to use the same dimensions. Aside from that I believe the intention of the thread is to hand pixel rather than using tool assisted shading. I'm not sure if that answers your question or not.

@eyry:
same, thats why I rely on either google translating the page for me, or good ol' "lets click this button and learn what happens" :vanora_xd:

@koneko:
aww Im glad you didnt let intimidation stop you! I love your sword, the hearts in it are cute <3

@avocado:
Seems the first question was answered pretty well. I'm not familiar with these shrink/grow methods. I dont imagine it'd be a problem as long as it is pixel art you're creating yourself <3

I'll also add that you're not required to draw the thread's biweekly themes. Those just give everyone something to work on together for fun.
Really, you can pixel anything and show it off in here!

Hmmm I think the general consensus on that (from what I've read but feel free to chime in) is that if it's something you could reasonably achieve by hand and are just doing it to save a little time, then it's fine.
