Pixel Critters
Illustration & Animation

A self-directed project that involved illustrating and animating sixteen different critters – all of which are 16x16 pixels and use the 56 colours in the NES colour palette from 1983.

The work originally started out as Saul Toon’s ‘Septembit Challenge’, which involved creating a series of 1-bit animals. I abandoned the original challenge and instead decided to add colour to the animals, animate them, and create a world for them to live in.
