Today I've made a Codeberg repository with the source files for the Krita pixel art brush set. If anyone wants to extend the brush set or tweak some previews, you can now.

Example pixel art gradients from dark purple to light blue. Below are dither patterns in black and white including a flower, dot, cross, half tone, and spaced dot pattern. A pixel style pencil draws three dither patterns underneath. The background is a pc98 style city scene at night. The Ko-fi, Clip Studio Paint, Krita, and Aseprite logos are on the right.

My reaction realising Krita makes pixel perfect 1px lines with the shape tools and the assistant tools (aka perspective rulers) are comparable to Clip Studio Paint.

Krita, you have a new fan. 🫶

Do you know I make manga-style art as well as pixel art? Here are my favorite images I made of Farnese from Berserk.

The Fantasia Arc was my favorite part of the story, particularly the character development of Farnese.
