- The making of a Duelyst attack animation. The process took about a total of 7 hours.
I use Graphics Gale to animate all of my sprites.
Keep up with what I'm working on on twitter (@AdamKlingPixel): / adamklingpixel
Glauber Kotaki sprites all the awesome designs! You can check out what he's up to here(@unseven): / unseven
You can try out Duelyst for free! Download it here:

And for anyone who wants to further explore the animation, here's a download link for the .gif and the .gal files. The .gal opens with Graphics Gale and will give you access to the different layers I have separated out, if you want to look at those.

So lovely :D Thanks for sharing.

This is fantastic art! A masterpiece :)
Awesome video and explanation! Knocking 7 hours of work down to a 15 minute video doesn't do the effort put in justice, but I hope people can appreciate how much work is required for a single sprite.
Would it be possible to publish more of these in the future? It was very entertaining to watch, and they'll also be great sources of ideas and inspiration for aspiring animators.
The art and animation in Duelyst is definitely one of the game's strong points. Looking forward to many more epic animations in the future!
Thanks for watching! I was thinking of doing more in the future, maybe for some shorter animations :D
Please! I'm working on sprites and animations for a game currently and since I've just started I would love to see more of the process!
More of these man , you have my full support !
Also can you make a cloth tutorial as well? It's so difficult
A cloth tutorial is a good idea! I'll look into that :)
For the past half a year I've been making my living from freelance pixel art and specifically mostly character animation.
This tutorial really got me inspired a couple of years ago, and without it I doubt I would have gotten to where I am today. I still use many of the things I learned from you and I even come back to this tutorial once in a while to hear again exactly how you look at some of these concepts. Specifically this time I came back to look at the example at 10:01. I love what you said there: "The pose that she's in, isn't the one she wants to take; it's the one she has to take."
Thank you Adam for making this amazing tutorial.
Hahaha that's awesome, I'm really glad to hear that!
Lol I haven't thought about the things I said in this video in a long time, some of them make me cringe a bit. Not that I necessarily disagree, but I just might explain it in a different way these days. But I'm glad it was helpful to you and that it played a part in your adventure into freelance pixelart! Best of luck in your continued growth!!
@@adamkling6684 Thank you!
I feel shame that I haven't discovered this game in the past 3 years and now I don't have a chance to play it :(
Thank you for the proud work that you showed us! Amazing
Adam, Everything I have learned about pixel art I have learned from studying the work that you and Glauber (and any other artists that i dont know by name, although I would love to) have put into duelyst and their wonderful, vibrant sprites. I just wanted to say thanks for all the inspiration.
Thank you for this, I love this game's art style, and your explanation about what you did is very clean and informative.
excellent work from all the artists in duelyst, i'm totally in love with your work. The result is so fluid it looks more alive and immersive than in a lot of games.
*vibrates intently with excited pixel art energy*
This is like the coolest character I’ve ever seen In any form of media
This video is without parallel on youtube, ass far as i have searched i have searched a lot.
You'are the only one that goes through the process step by step so it is very easy to follow and understand.
Please make more f these videos, i believe a lot of people, incluing myself wozld be greatly gratefull. :)
duelyst is the game that made want to do pixel art for my game so it's cool to be able to learn from someone who actually worked on the game. thanks for this tutorial
I had an Idea for the aura glow.
Each time the Character throws a stone he puts some of the energy into it until the Aura is depleted into the rocks.
That would mean when the lighting strikes the character would no longer have the aura and would then slowly regain the glow until the character is back to the starting frame.
Man, the animators and artists on the Duelyst team are amazing!
aw man, four years later and there are no other videos despite how great this was. That's a shame :(
That's because I don't know anything else! :D (Sorta kidding...sorta not)
Incredibly helpful. You really managed to boil down the key specifics of creating a solid animation.
Holy shit you are a god, I can't even get normal perspective in pixelart, and you just put 100different perspectives in such a short time
Very informative! Always nice to get tuts from someone who's already working professionally, its a rare treat. Thanks!
Not playing the game but I love the sprites. Make me dive into learning how to draw pixel sprite. Thx for the useful vid
That was probably the most detailed pixel art i have ever seen in my life. Amazing
Not an animator, just was linked to this video and found it fascinating and informative. Fantastic job.
I very recently stared to create and animate pixel characters and objects for a study project and since I'm new to this whole field of Pixelart I was amazed when I found your work and much more ..it is amazing to learn and get inspired from ^^
Amazing video! So many helpful hints. Especially the using of key frames, just blew my mind. I'm certainly will pay much more attention to animation and I hope to get really better at it.
you are not human dude, this is simply superb!
After many years, this is still one of the best summary/overview tutorials on pixel art animation (and Duelyst pixel art is god tier!).
Dunno about others but I would be willing to pay money for a definitive, expert online course on pixel art+animation by someone like yourself, who could could take it beyond basics like ”don’t draw jiggly lines” and maybe go for a bit more complete curriculum. Current offering on places like Linkedin Learning, Udemy, Skillshare and the rest is unfortunately lacking / a bit uneven, so there’s definitely room on the market too, think about it :).
Your pixel art is great, your animation looks awesome and your explanation is really clear! You just earned yourself a sub man
New to pixel art, and animation in general but this was quite interesting to watch. You explain it all so well
I loved your animations in Duelyst and they have been a huge inspiration to me. I loved the game game so much and I’m so sad it’s dead
this was so crazy helpful PLEASE upload more
Damn, that characters design is badass and the animation is badass. Nice tutorial!
subbed. Also wanted to let ya know that I will be starting Duelyst today, solely because of this video... With the help @uheartbeast for tweeting it out. I never would've even seen it. Soooo, what I'm saying is, please do more of these, I'm sure if it brought me in, it can bring in more. Keep up the awesome art!
Nice job!!! This looks like a super cool minion, and i think is very nice that you based it on The Scientist. Keep up the good work, I can't wait to see this minion in the game :) .
Thank you very much~ Only you video it's already an awesome reference... and you share the files!!! Amazing!!! Congratulations!!
Thanks for the encouragement :)
I decided i wanted to make a 2d platformer, and i wanted it to be done in pixel art, as i thought it would be easy. but good gosh, after seeing quality pixel art, and how you animate it, i've learned it takes a lot of work, and skill to create something that is recognizable with so few pixels
loved the pixel art of this game dude nice work
Gosh, it may take me years but, some day, I wanna do animations like those. Congratulations on the Steam release! Waiting to be able to download it ^^
Perfect tutorial keep it up! Would LOVE to see more animation tutorials from Duelyst
Awesome! And by the way super conductors are metals that, at temperatures near absolute zero, have zero electrical resistance and can float atop magnets.
you are such a inspiration! I really love your pixelwork
that's some sick animation and character you created. smashing that like~!
Seriously awesome, I've seen your posts on the /r/pixelart subreddit (unless you guys have more than one animator!) and was secretly hoping for a behind the scenes. More please!
that attack animation is sick asffff
This is beautiful, and incredible.
The best video on TH-cam at all
you explain things very well and this was super helpful
Your tutorials are amazing,please do more
Awesome work dude, I play the game and just love the animation and artstyle, keep it up
Thank you, Adam! Brazilian here. U really helped me. Hug!
Fantastic video. I've been looking for something just like this. Thank you, so much :)
I totally love this video. Please make more!
Would love to see more. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! Another one is planned, hopefully it won't be too long!
Thank you very much for creating this. Really helps a young Pixel Artist like myself :D
Great tutorial man. So well explained, thanks a lot. And Duelyst is an awesome game :D
I love pixelart and wish I could do this :p
Anyway superb sprite/animation and thanks for sharing!
Holy shit, that animation is beautiful
I love the GBA feel that the sprites in this game have
It's so majestic... O_O
Wow Adam your art style is just impressive! for real we would love to see more of this tutorials anytime soon, please conseder making yourself a Patreon account I know u will be a success cause many people would love to learn from you.
Absolutely amazing
Beautifully done.
Sad that the game is no more, I LOVED the animations.
Amazing skill and talent you have! Please share more pixel art videos!
Your work is legendary!
Very informational and interesting.
Thanks for sharing!
Your art is absolutely amazing bro. I am fairly new to pixel art and have been using it to develop a new game with some colleagues and your art has honestly inspired me. Will you ever possibly be doing a tutorial type video? Maybe something showing your workflow for a character design from scratch?
batshit crazy quality video
more of these would be great. you should do more tutorials on animating specific motions and special effects, as they are hard as nails to do, even for pros.
Awesome content, Adam
Thanks for sharing!
Still playing this game.
Amazing art and animations.
You guys mede me think to try out pixel art.
And it's scary how much time i need to spend on learning stuff to be somewhat close on the results.
This was amazing! Thank you for the video!
Great tutorial! Really insightful
I'm trying to do animation for the first time, no schooling or mentors to give me advice... I made a 2d character in Krita who can walk towards the player or to the right, and also can rotate smoothly from facing the player to facing right. I now want to make an attack animation where the character swings his sword, but I realize quickly that his canvas is not wide enough! The canvas is already 32x64 and my character takes up 100% of the height and sometimes 100% of the width depending on the frame. So... how would one go about doing this? Should I create new frames in a different file using a canvas of a different size for the attack? Or should I increase the entire canvas size for all of the animations? Seems like it would be wasteful of computing power to have a walking animation that's 64 px wide when 32 is all that I need... is that what you would do? I notice that your canvas is much larger than your character. Do you trim it before adding it to the game? Do you ever use sprite characters that are made of frames of canvas of differing sizes? Sorry for the long list of questions but I'm really new to this.
excited for the game
I wish I hadnt given up on my artistic talents 20 years ago. I would have been a beat by now!
Great video, Very helpful. Thank you.
Could you please make a tutorial / guide on how to achieve this kind of animation without any time lapses? I love the animation and what little knowledge you share in this video, but I have absolutely no idea where to begin.
Would love a pixel art tutorial series :)
Hey Adam I've been trying to get better at my pixel artsmanship (if that's a term) and I've noticed there seems to be different styles of pixel art are there specific terms for these?
For example Both Scott Pilgrim Vs The World and Duelyst both categorize under "pixel art" but they don't look the same..... if that makes sense. Thanks :D
Hi thanks for asking! The reason there's different styles of pixelart is because pixelart is a medium, like oil painting, and not a style. A lot of times people talk about it like pixelart is a specific look, but it's not! Each pixel artist has their own style.
There's not a great way to describe style, but you can talk about it in terms of the technique and look of the art. Scott Pilgrim vs The World is by Paul Robertson, and I would say his style is much tighter than Duelyst. He uses black outlines and anti-aliasing on his characters, and because of that they look less "pixelly", as in it's harder to see each individual pixel.
Duelyst's style is Glauber Kotaki's, he designs the units and the animators try to emulate the style that he uses. His style is much more loose. There's no outlines or anti-aliasing, just chunks of colors rubbing next to each other. I would say his style is much more "pixelly", you can easily see all the little squares.
Style is a combination of a lot of things and can be sort of hard to describe, but I hope this helps!
thanks for the in depth reply ^_^ will be loking forwards to more videos if you make any :D
Rip duelist
please do more, it is amazing
Love it!! Going to study this vid for like a week :P
Wow! This is amazing! I wish I could pixel art half as good as you haha
What an awesome pixel art + pixel animation tutorial. I really like your pace. Explanations are clear and concise. Extremely well done Adam, thumbs up.
By the way do you use the free version of GraphicsGale?
Sir, what are the odds of you allowing me to introduce you to a cool project? 👀
I recognize talent of legendary quality when I see it.
This was very informative! Thank you!
That is so cool and useful! Thank you!
I'm here to get my Kling on.
Do you have any course or tutorials? Or any recomendations?
Where did you start animating and how did you improve? I want to start animating and I don't know where to start.
oh my goodness this was so helpful
Are you designing using mouse or a pen device? any good suggestion for device to buy to make great arts? mouse is kinda hard to use
Awesome! thanks a lot for sharing :)
Amazing job you did there ! Are you using graphic tablet or just mouse ?
Hey bro just wandering if i could use this for an avatar in a game. would appreciate it. thanks
Looks great, you need to include GraphicsGale link in your description (got it from a screenshot on the top) THANX!
That's really helpful! I would like to see a video of you not getting it right on the first try, so we can see how you itterate on animations.
really awesome tutorial! you thought me alot!
Any ideas for enlarging characters I wanna enlargen a simple pixel character since hes super small I wanna have more freedom with arms and legs for animation
I'd love to see more tutorials!
