This was awesome, I don't animate but it is really cool to see how it is created over time. My favorite animations are the older games that have the character stare at the player waiting or resting in some way instead of standing the whole time.

Just so you know - this has actually quickly become my favourite channel on YouTube. Been watching your stuff for two weeks or so, and it is so inspiring learning from you and such a pleasure watching you work and create. The way you teach and the way you deliver your content and information is very good. Really very good. You retain my attention and interest for the entire video, every video.

Well done, sir; and even more than that, Thank you. 😊

You make this look so easy! I just started programming and pixelart, so my personal progress is more like pushing pixels around, hoping that they'll fall in the correct spot somehow...
Im always amazed by both your results and also your speed!

[CasualChris]

I really dont understand how you drop these tutorials whenever i need them. Thank you as always adam

It comes up to me that your content is just like AMSR; so refreshing, calming, and relaxing. At first, I came up to your channel for just proving to my teacher that I actually research my personal project which is pixal realated. But as I was working, Music or even streams were getting me be less effective on working and it was so mind bongoling!! Until I got into your content, your voice and structure of what you say is again heaven. Thank you for making videos no matter and putting in lots of commitment of your work.

That was a fantastic tutorial as always! I really love seeing the creation of sub-pixel animation.

I like listening to your videos as I draw just to have something on. Something in your voice and Australian accent is very pleasant to my ears. Awesome video
