Anyone here do sprite work?
What resources would you recommend for getting into it?
When I look at sprites for games they're usually pretty daunting. Hard for me to wrap my head around how they went from a basic idea to placing individual pixels.

Theory-wise: no idea but I'm interested
I've made some blocky sprites for games before and found it really fun and intuitive.
You can configure Ps for it but I really like working in Allegro (it even has the same keyboard shortcuts)

If you don't want to download shit, ROTMG's draw tool is fun and browser-based

You just have to start doing it.
Start with paint.net.
It's not tailored to pixel art, but it's versatile
There are some popular pixel art programs like Pyxel or Aseprite, and they have their place for sure, Pyxel for tile sets and Aesprite (or Graphicsgale if you want to pay for a clunky UI with ALL the features) for animation.
Block out the shapes of your character and start to apply lighting, then read tutorials on cleaning up the pixels and shading techniques, etc.
Use layer, like any other art.
Animation, like any other art form will eat hours of your life at a time, so take that for what it is.

What a cool GUI. Fits the programm perfectly

why does /gd/ have such a large percentage of people posting on the wrong board

Probably cause the idea of an entire board dedicated to logo design and jizzing over fonts is pretty silly.

tl;dr move /ic/ between /his/ and /int/, make /i/ share a section with /f/ and maybe /t/, usability solved
