I hate this so much.
I like to have reference images when I do pixel art and now I can't find pictures of things.
I find the AI slop of it instead...
Whenever you search, put before:2023 and you'll cut almost all slop out.
Curious: what tools do you use for pixel art? I made a Playdate game, and just fooled around in GIMP, but it could have been a lot easier.
I use Aseprite and love it.
You can pay the $19 (something llike that) to the Dev or, if you know how, you can compile it yourself for free.
It's just for pixel art and animating, so it's nicely stripped down for that purpose imo.
it's on sale for $13!!! https://store.steampowered.com/app/431730/Aseprite/
it's such an intuitive tool for these purposes
Always love to see!
I got it through Humble Bundle years ago.
I agree! It's quite intuitive to me.
Check out Pixelorama for an alternative to Aseprite.

500px is still an okay site, for now
Oh, same but for chalk art! I tried using an AI image as reference that I found in a search and it's not the same. It's a watered down version of what I want. It's all perfectly boring.
