I've been working really hard on my Sprites, and these are what I've come up with so far. I'm pretty happy with how they are turning out and want to work on animating them to run, lunge and wield weapons. I've been using Piskel on my PC and Pixel Studio on my tablet when I'm away from my desk. However, I want to start using Aesprite for the animation. I believe that once I learn how to use it, it'll be "easier" than the other 2 platforms I mentioned. I would LOVE for my work to be used in a game at some point. That's the end goal at least. I know I have a long way to go but I'm thoroughly enjoying the journey!

Let me know what applications YOU like to use and why :-) I'm ALWAYS open to new ideas and different platforms to see what works best. Using a combination of platforms isn't a bad idea either.
