I actually liked it a lot. You start with a canvas of lets say 64 x 64 pixels and upscale it later to a proper image size, otherwise it would be so tiny. From there it was a bit like painting by numbers. The first image is the knight from Hollow Knight. For the second image i took Simon Stålenhags work as reference. Later i added some details. For this I used the app Pixaki on the iPad, it is very easy to learn. I didnt like the animation implementation, i heard Aseprite is better for that. Or maybe i suck at it.
