Can we all agree that Metal Slug has some of the best pixel art of all time?

The Metal Slug team is absolutely fucking crazy

No one said “hey, we need you guys to create like a dozen giant intricately-animated bosses at a totally ridiculous resolution”

THE LIGHTING CHANGES WHEN THE CANNON GOES OFF AND EVERYTHING

THE PLAYER CHARACTERS ALL HAVE LITTLE RELOAD ANIMATIONS IN A GAME WHERE YOU NEVER ACTUALLY HAVE TO STOP SHOOTING

AND JUST IMAGINE THE THOUGHTS THAT WENT THROUGH THEIR HEAD WHEN THEY MADE THESE

JESUS

AND THAT’S WHY I FUCKING LOVE METAL SLUG.

Second one of a set of pixel commissions for Tam! Her character Alexis Beckett.

I’m pretty happy with this but why on earth did I choose to do a side profile I’m TERRIBLE at mouths from the side and I knew I was gonna animate it… <_> if it looks too crappy I’ll try and fix it ;;

but I really had fun doing this, especially the ridiculous clothes! :D

jesus christ in heaven look at this gorgeous example of pure pixel art mastery

whoa

I’ve seen this piece before and I just gotta make it clear that this image is not actually animated in the usual fashion, where you change the pixel data and keep the same color palette across frames. This one’s a really amazing example of palette animation (or color cycling), where the pixel data remains the same, and the actual palette itself changes.

Here are a bunch more examples; make sure to expand the options (top right) so you can see the palette shifting.

It’s really actually amazing.

That really is really actually amazing!

holy hell this is perfection

the way the water looks as if its flowing is just

oh man oh man seriously this is stunning
