Helm- i stated clearly in my latter post that all my pixelart starts from a 3D object.
but here is something entirely done by hand, i hope that i will get enough help(crits) to stay with my decision to rely more on my hand, rather than apps. , because i noticed that using 3D apps for small pixelart fails in the longer run.
i use graphics gale. for animation i noticed that firstly you have to notice what parts stay the same, and what parts need a total remap.
after an hour i came up with this anim (10 colors, 8 frames)
PS: some of his areas like HAIR, especially, were redrawn nearly every single frame, i experimented with shading.
thanks for the help
