Clip Studio Paint is a multi-purpose art program, pixel art, digital art, comics, illustration, animation, are all possible. In this video, you will learn how I create a pixel art character in multiple styles using clip studio paint's tools.

Wow I love all the design parameters you used in developing each unique style! The no-outline metallic one looks ready for its own metroidvania-style game where it defends a digital artscape using a series of "art attacks" 😂And the illustrated version can be used in the game manual!
Great tips here btw, and a wonderful presentation as always dude! :D

For a person who didn't buy any good pixel art software but bought Clip Studio, This is a life changer, thank you Saultoons! Always keep these videos coming!

This is not only super cool, but very useful too, I've been using csp for quite a while and I didn't really stopped to learn it's features.
I love how you for every single thing you did, you explained how we can do it too.
Probably one of the most complete videos I've ever seen.

The greyish metal looking one with no outline was my favourite. Smash it again! Keep it up buddy.

I really loved how you did the robot style change animations at the end

I'm always a fan of the no outline style. It tends to look grittier and less cartoony.

Honestly, my favorite has to be the CHONKEY one. I'm normally not one for (lack of a better term) fat robots, I just don't find a point to making a humanoid machine fat, but there is something about him that makes him stand out more than his girth.

I see that particular robot being some kind of guardian for an endangered princess, but not one that's super weak or anything, one that fights beside him. He takes on the big, tougher machines while she handles all the smaller ones. If there are tiny ones trying to climb all over him, she's got him covered with magic, or hacking tools, or a beam weapon of sorts. And if there's a massive one trying to claw over the guardian to get to her, he's never letting that claw near her. They compliment each other and nothing can stop them. Oh, and those aren't wings on his back, in my mind, it's a giant shield with THICC armor and barrier technology.

My favourite is the third one, I think that even with its simplicity encapsulates well the essence of the character, it demonstrates us that you can do something cool with just the usage of two colours.

Videos that go direct and straigh to the point.. fast cuts.. very easy to watch long videos.. thank you for the so well made video !!

First, props. The characters looked effing *amazing* !!!

Second, even as just a general beginner’s pixel art tutorial this was really useful, f.ex. the silhouette style and working just with values were a couple techniques I’d never learnt 😅 Thanks so much for the video!

[photonwerewolf]
