Aseprite alternative skin#

Finally there is GraphicsGale, which is what Beige used. There’s also Lospec, a browser based pixelart tool, but I found it to be too simplistic, personally. Unlike the AnimationHelper plugin for Paint, Piskel shouldn’t mess up your colors (need confirmation)! In the end I see it as a poor man’s Aseprite, but it’s not bad for a free program. I believe that a combination of paint and piskel will get you far, but you can always opt to use only one. I like its palette managing features and easy-to-use animation options.

Piskel is a free program that you can run in your browser or download.

Aseprite alternative skin#

There is a plugin that allows for animations in Paint (as mentioned in the skin tutorial), but there are better alternatives out there. It’s free, it’s versatile thanks to user-created plugins and has a simple interface! When making animated sprites for realm, I liked making them in Paint and then using another program to animate them. Paint.NET, my program of choice to this day. Since the RotMG art editor is no longer functional (can’t save/load), you may be looking for another program to use. This also means I’m also not involved with the voting for this contest.Īnyway, resources! I’ll just be listing useful links under the different categories: Just wanted to make that clear, since there may still be cosmetics or whatever coming out with my name on them. I did leave on good terms though, so no worries about that. I just don’t really care much for Realm atm, but I still enjoy spriting. I also wanted to announce that I retired from UGC/testing, simply because there are other things I’d like to do right now. However, most of these resources can be used outside of Realm as well. My apologies to those who have already made their submission. I originally wanted to make a new video on the subject, since my skin creation tutorial is quite dated (and sounds bad), but I haven’t really had the time yet. Since there is a new art contest going on, I figured I’d share some information regarding spriting.
