For the past week and a half I have been working on creating sprites to use in a video game I am working on. The type of art I'm making is pixel art, pixel art has become pretty popular in games recently with games like Shovel Knight and Duelyst showcasing high-quality pixel art. There are many online websites that can be used to create pixel art (see below), like Piskel, the website I'm using to create my sprites. Creating sprites is an important part of the game design process as they represent all the objects in a game, as well as helping draw players interest to the game.
