8-Direction Pixel Character Base

 

🎨 About Me  

Hi! I'm MediArt, a pixel artist and art designer with years of experience.  

I've worked with indie devs and major studios, but supporting indie creators has always been the most meaningful part of my journey.

I know how tough indie development can be—juggling coding, funding, learning, and just staying afloat.  

That's why I created this All-In-One Pixel Art Solution to save you time, stress, and budget.

💡 Key Features

✅ 8-directional animations (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW)

✅ No sprite flipping

✅ Scalable design (adjust height without breaking proportions)

✅ Aseprite-ready

Whether you’re building a platformer, top-down RPG, or isometric tactics game, this asset pack is made to support your vision.

🧩 Flexible for Any Genre

No matter what genre you’re working on, this pack is structured to help you solve multiple problems at once:

✅ 8-directional animations let you build in any style.

✅ Top-down game? Use just the N, S, E, W directions.  

✅ Isometric view? Stick with NE, SE, SW, NW.  

✅ Platformer? You might only need W and E.

✅ Need 32px, 48px, 64px—or even 100px+ sizes? Just adjust the percentage under Sprite > Sprite Size in Aseprite.

✅ Tired of flipping sprites to fake left/right movement?  

  I get it. That quick solution can ruin immersion—especially when your right-handed swordsman suddenly switches hands. That’s why all 8 directions are fully hand-drawn. Future updates will follow the same standard.

✅ Need to adjust character proportions for your genre?  

  I’ve pre-sized templates so you can scale height using Aseprite canvas percentages while keeping the core silhouette as intact as possible.

✅ No time to learn new tools like Aseprite?  

  I understand. With coding deadlines, competitions, and life itself, time is limited. That’s why I designed these files to require as little prior knowledge of Aseprite as possible—based on what many of the indie developers I’ve worked with found most challenging.

Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with indie game developers and well-known companies alike. Among them, working with indie creators has always been the most rewarding experience for me.

Seeing developers fully devoted to their creations—often with limited resources and endless passion—has taught me so much. I know how tough indie game development can be. (Well, maybe not as much as you, the developers, of course 😊)
