[@jokesterthemighty227]

your ball example is actually wrong, if you gonna smear it that much you have to also reduce the volume of it otherwise it looks off

[@silentkillaa2673]

@@jokesterthemighty227 Smearing is different with Squash and Stretch isn't it? smearing act as a motion blur, while S&S act as force and material indicator.

[@veijiouuuu]

Can you make an analysis of the Carrion's character animations? The humans and the monster 😁

[@whimsical.me1]

are these pixel arts made with a mouse ?

[@saultoons]

This is a beautiful display of very nicely condensed and valuable information! Fantastic work :D

[@PixelOverloadChannel]

Saultoons!

[@saultoons]

@@PixelOverloadChannel Yo! :D This was a real pleasure to watch, must've taken SO long!

[@elijahscott896]

My two favorite pixel designers, cool

[@lynx873]

​@@PixelOverloadChannelBro what software are you using bcoz I want to create animation

[@KakarWonderland]

😅

[@Rappenem]

Amazing tutorial, I can't even imagine how much time this took to make!

[@nwut]

true...

[@orid7596]

Hey I've seen your stuff on reddit you make cool stuff

[@nanthakr8378]

same doubt :D

[@KakarWonderland]

😅

[@envar1]

So you are getting paid to do this, right? This video will blow up, right? You are gonna get many more subs, right? Because holy shit, this video is S tier. The presentation was smooth, fast but not too fast, attractive, informative, and over all amazing visuals. If I were a game designer, you’d be my first pick for a partner!

[@Mefishere]

Yeah Man!! I had the same reaction the animation used are S Tier and he made all of them 😮

[@goodlookinouthomie1757]

I'd swipe left for sure. Or is it right? Whichever one is for yes, I never used those sites 😏

[@MasqueArt]

More like Pixel Overlord, right? Truly S tier.

[@Zap-Plays]

This is with out a doubt the best tutorial on KZbin for explaining the fundamental aspects of pixel animation. Bravo!

[@perschrijver8884]

First I was rewatching the intro 10 times because it looked so good, but then I discovered the whole video was a gem. Thank you!

[@ViridisGames]

The amount of work and time put in here is PATHALOGICAL and obsessive. I live for content like this.

[@i-am-the-slime]

pathological

[@mao8668]

G-goooosh just today I've made my first animation ever and I anticipated some of the things you said, but... May I just notice that you've made an incredible visualization of everything you say? I feel like I watched a gorgeous cartoon instead of education! Love it! xd

[@spoonsweet]

Amazing presentation, points delivered with a unique art style. So happy I got to watch the premier and interact! The early example of the extra axe frames are very important, education-wise. As some viewers have mentioned, the audio was sometimes masked via the background music. That is always been an issue with headphones and youtube, of getting it just right. I have to see in your example, it kind of fitted the theme of being in a forest and listening to the water and birds, good workaround! Your work is inspiring and a case study. Thanks for sharing! Watching again and again. Also, I am envious of those trees.

[@themarquee1497]

Not only is the art style you've chosen appealing, the level of effort comes through very clearly. It's impressive how thoroughly you've mapped visual examples to the dialogue. Definitely continue down this path. Also consider changing your name to Pixel Overlord.

[@Matt_Sorensen]

As a tutorial, this is fantastic but as a work of art it's absolutely incredible.

[@orangsucc]

I LOVE your art style! It feels smooth, rounded and even painted while not losing any of the charm that pixel art has. The colors are all especially pleasing to look at! I've watched this video more than 10 times already just for the art!

[@drummerofawe]

As someone who's watched their fair share of pixel art tutorials, not only does this one have a ton of useful tips, it also has some of the most beautiful pixel art I've seen. Off to check if you have a vid on colour theory

[@themannyzaur]

actually using the tips you're describing in a hand animated video has got to be the best thing ever

[@brandonjacksoon]

This is AWESOME! All your background screens/decorations and tutorial itself.. I can believe that you spend so much time to create not only tutorial but the all small staff around: window, text etc. Thank you mate!

[@corvusnocturne]

the background art for this is so good

[@MisterBerdill]

This is one of the most amazing pixel animation tutorials I've ever seen, as well as one of the most amazing pixel animations I've ever seen! Incredible work, thank you

[@PeterMilko]

Damn you make my tutorials look lame lol. Well done dude!

[@Artazix]

Can you make a video about How to choose color for shading and lighting? Or if yu have done it before can you give me the video link

[@azizhawas7750]

You're finally back! Love the tutorial and your coloring is so cool (I mean colors warm and cool of course if you watched his tutorial for coloring) anyway, you're a legend and I will always support you

[@yungadmiralprodigy]

More so than the amazing content explained in the voiceover, I found myself pausing the video again and again just to stare at the gorgeous hand drawn scenery in awe. Admiring all the little details and colour choices, and making note for next time I'm behind the drawing pad as well. The value and inspiration this video brought me is unbelievable. 10/10, one of the few creators I'll ever press the notification bell for.

[@ex_script7091]

I thought I had given up on the channel. Glad you're back! great video and great content. it sure helped me a lot

[@Dank_Lulu]

Every fundamental I needed to know, dumbed-down to a few minutes and explained in crayon. This is goated, I thoroughly appreciate it!

[@aiurysabrinne4979]

Thank you so so so so so much! This is so far the BEST explanation on how basics of animation can work

[@ErnoSallinen]

The production value of this video is out of this world. Beautiful graphics, well done! With this level of detail I'm kind of perplexed with the robot run cycle, though. When the right leg points forward, the right hand should be behind, not forward as well. If you don't believe me, try running like that.

[@ro_eats_bugs]

literally the most helpful tutorial i've ever watched. condensed everything i've been trying to figure out for the past week into just a few minutes.

[@bitbraindev]

This must be one of the best produced, highly polished videos on pixelart I have ever seen.

[@gamedevel22]

Have been waiting so long for this!

[@gregohnoes]

this tutorial is so beautiful i rewatched it just for the atmosphere

[@ninjagraphics1]

I've never seen such well produced video in my entire life. A tutorial like this is an artwork itself to say the least. Amazing work, thank you for making this.

[@orid7596]

I really like your art, there's so much attention to detail, and the overgrown theme is really cool, kinda sad the algorithm doesn't recommend this to more people

[@CherryPoppinz]

Loved it! Especially the part of motion planning vs editing sprites. Its some I do, its always bad, but I never thought about it as a bad habit until now. Thanks!

[@BadLeoG]

On top of being an excellent source of information, this video was absolutely beautiful! I kept having to rewind cuz I lost track just watching the background

[@Glare108]

10/10 video for sure. Short and sweet, visually appealing, clearly spoken, and flows well.

[@blakespangler3111]

Dude! Thank you for explaining planning! I don’t know how many videos I’ve watched or books I’ve read where they don’t explain. This is an awesome video

[@cyphr2581]

Hey Pixel Overload! I just wanted to say that I really appreciate the hard work and effort that you put into your KZbin videos! I often find myself coming back to watch them, not for the tutorial, but just to appreciate the art that you create. The imagery that you are able to create with pixel art is like nothing I've ever seen before, I admire and aspire to be able to create like you can one day. Anywho, just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work you do to share these videos with us, have a good one!

[@PixelOverloadChannel]

Thanks so much for saying that! That's one of the nicest things anyone's ever said about my channel!

[@Voidermusic]

This video is pure beauty

[@Ruslan-S]

So incredibly well done! Beautifully drawn and information clearly presented.

[@MohammadFaramarzian]

Awesome video❤

[@PixelOverloadChannel]

Thanks very much for the support!

[@cheeseaddict]

Jesus Christ the amount of detail is insane! Don't overwork yourself bro you did a great job

[@whaive]

The best animation tutorial ever!

[@moonisland9371]

I like how you put almost entire modern animator's survival guide into less than 7 minutes! Amazing!

[@larissekeim2121]

I love your pixelartstyle ❤ !

[@Trashloot]

Those animations are so friggin beautiful ! :D

[@djalexander968]

One of the most helpful tutorials. I keep coming back to it

[@rapidfire6937]

i love how he got really better than last time... truly amazing music and video editing... also can you please make a video on astronaut and baggy suits?

[@zaidmermam2524]

I've never seen + I'll never see a higher quality pixel art tutorial in my entire life, the effort is INSANE!

[@Jobiventure]

It felt as if I saw a incredible movie in about 7 minutes while learning a lot of things. Awsome video

[@themanidentifiedasdinosaur8138]

This was very well presented. I'm dumbfounded there's not too much subs. This kind of work deserves millions of subs in a month.

[@grimm3566]

Holy shit this was not just a good straight to the point tutorial but it also motivated me to learn pixel art more because this stuff looks sooo beautiful, amazing video!

[@Soroosh.S83]

The best tutorial very high quality Thanks man you are one of the best

[@msv266]

Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for this tutorial

[@TselisoCampbellPK]

wow, this is the best explanation I've ever seen. Especially your planning breakdown, thanks a lot for this! You're amazing!

[@SirAwesomeVille]

Spectacular video. Truly. I can't seem to grasp the injustice of this video not being viral, compared to videos blowing up with a fraction of a fraction of the work put into it. You've earned my humble like and I'm now forever your subscriber!

[@321erej]

The amount of time this video must've taken to make is huge and you can just tell from the insane quality. You are so talented and thank you for teaching me these tips, I never knew about these tactics u can use. These are gonna be a great help. Thanks.

[@MarionPlank]

Absolutely amazing video thank you 🙏🏻

[@Chris-rb8ox]

I have to say, this pixel art is gorgeous. I love your style!

[@mv2e19]

The art style of the game you’re making is beautiful!! it’s unique, and it really has a distinct identity.

[@mr_edvardsen]

Great visuals, thorough and nicely explained! Well done!

[@sattylion]

This is by far one of the most impressive videos I've seen. I had to rewind a few times because I became too fixated on the beautiful art to pay attention to the words being spoken.

[@dawnablepixels]

I can’t believe you draw everything in this video! Very nice work 😊

[@eboatwright_]

I LOVE your pixel art style! This pixel art and animation is way too good for the amount of subscribers you have

[@punolee]

This is your best video so far. Not only is the production quality absolutely outstanding, you have also greatly improved your writing. I'm very excited to see what you have in store if you continue the make videos like this

[@j_r0w]

Absolutely wonderful! Thanks for sharing the knowledge and so well executed too!

[@JayHurst1]

This is a huge help! I’ve been editing pixels for a while and being frustrated with the stiffness of it.

[@sushi4840]

A tutorial on making a background and animating it would be amazing! Your backgrounds always amazing me. Just started getting into pixel art, it’s beautiful.

[@PokemonFan123]

This video right here is the best animation video I’ve seen on KZbin

[@rgergazas]

This whole channel is a piece of art! Congrats!

[@adriasc79]

Amazing key animation clues, and I would like to add be careful with cicles animation, like at 3:22 where you can notice very clear how everything moves at once, making the repetition too obvios. If I may suggest, a possible solution would be to break the animation, also, not start the clip on a rest position for elements like plants, etc.. :) Love the video and your art.

[@duddersrules]

This is beautiful!

[@paulusvii97]

One of the best instructional videos I've ever seen. Superb.

[@vlander1992able]

That whole thing about sub-pixel animation is super helpful.

[@scrung]

You condensed the most important fundamentals of pixelart animation into 6 minutes of very easily digestable content, good job =)

[@welkin25]

Thank you sooooo much, this is one of the best tutorials I've ever seen!

[@GeeHawtTea]

for real we love to see more of your works and tips, simple and effective, plus you're the only one who makes detailed sprites like the large ones and medium ones

[@frontend-pashtet]

Whaaaat? Man, this is a true masterpiece! I can imagine how many efforts you put into it. Thank you so much.

[@areevess]

The king has returned! seriously, i love your videos!

[@mrshumancar]

Awesome work on this one! I've been dying to see another vid from you for a while now, so this is wonderful to see!

[@inspirion5500]

The nature art in this video is gorgeous

[@headBookBook]

The animation in this video is shocking. So smooth✨

[@Robutnikon]

Wow. This is a beautifully executed tutorial - thank you for the epic, concise info encapsulated in such a gorgeous container! Your animations and subject matter are truly beautiful and inspirational 🙏🏼👌🏼😻

[@blankRiot96]

Jesus christ, all this animation for one tutorial! Amazing work and I have benefited greatly from this

[@MusicforWizards]

This video is sooo good! I've watched it like 5 times now. It must have taken a looooong time to make this. Truly amazing!

[@mrsnulch]

Man I love your pixel art style, it's so warm and nostalgic. And this tutorial is absolutely insane. I learned exactly what I needed too while also being drawn in by how good the animation was. Incredible work.

[@s-ek-k9646]

this is not tutorial, it's peace of art. subbed

[@nilsmuller9286]

I don't want to sound cliché, but this might easily be (one of) the best KZbin video(s) I've ever seen. 😳

[@sanstheelumbu]

Yaay dude is back

[@ZizoMass]

Basically the "secret" for a good pixel animation is know how to do animations! Incledible!

[@G69G71]

these tips will help me so much, I already meet one of these but now I can understand it better by your explaination, thank you so much dude.

[@Eddesignful]

Great tutorial and worth the watch for the post apocalypse world in decay animations alone!

[@arremarkustoplaan1177]

absolutely incredible video man, for someone who's just starting out this is unbelievably helpful!

[@alexdacat7052]

1:53 there’s a bridge with a bike path under it near where I live that looks almost exactly like this

[@blackbox8490]

Dude, you're sooooo talented, wth? You really inspired me.

[@faanross]

This is at once incredible knowledge and a literal work of art - I hope you're proud of yourself!
