ENGLISH SUBTITLES ARE AVAILABLE P.S. don't expect any more tutorials 😮

[@shadowdragonlord2295]

Aww I was looking forward to more 😢 but this your choice. That said this was still really helpful and I can't wait to try out it when I have the chance.

[@TheOnlyRealTatertot]

Please make a tutuorial on animating the spirtes using LibreSprite (gen 5 specifically). Love the vid! Helpful and easy to follow!

[@shadowdragonlord2295]

@@TheOnlyRealTatertot I think he already did one for animating.

[@peanutthecat9355]

After I install the thing and listen to how you actually get the outlines done first, I stopped watching and made my own creation. And I love it :3

[@RetroNC]

A start to something amazing :D

[@nemuii3030]

love how you explained alot of important art principles in a comprehensible way in that short amount of time :) rly packed with good info, much appreciated!

[@Holgast]

You don't need to zoom out, you can use the preview window view so you can always see a zoomed out version..

[@Shadowmanisreallycool]

[@RetroNC]

[@RetroNC]

[@MarioDeSTOOPIT]

I would like to know how to make an icon for it, like the Pokémon images in the party in gen 8.

[@Ike12]

Does this program work with pre rendered sprites? This is for an unrelated project

[@TotodileisBetter158]

Now how do we do back sprites?

[@spooks_the_stupid_dude]

Sorry what app did you use to create the sprites?

[@RetroNC]

LibreSprite & Aseprite, which I mentioned at the start of the video

[@Gartersnake970]

Ok i'm just gonna know this even tho i prob never gonna get the app lol

[@TheRealKensterBoosteryt]

I approve

[@jjanevski]

What is the song name from 2:00 - 5:00? Please! 🙏

[@RetroNC]

The Dreamyard theme from Pokemon Black and White!

[@jjanevski]

@@RetroNC thank you!

[@g.blacksheep525]

what dimensions for gen1?

[@RetroNC]

For Gen 1 it's 40x40, 48x48 or 56x56 depending on the size of the sprite you're making

[@tails_the_god]

asesprite is good

[@kevthegymdude3043]

32x32 for conquest :)

[@RetroNC]

For sprites that are in battle yes, but the portraits for Pokemon are 128x128 :)

[@AdThe1st]

wait that isn't aseprite?

[@RetroNC]

LibreSprite & Aseprite are pretty much the exact same thing, so you can use either one!

[@mrmonkeytoes]

Is Librespritd just Aseprite? It looks exactly the same aside from the logo.

[@RetroNC]

Mostly yeah
