Hi! I'm in a tiny pokemon discord where we make trainer cards for fun to show our style & favorite pokemon. Despite the popularity of the franchise, there are basically NO pixel art avatar makers in this style so we're stuck using or editing premade assets.

It's just for fun, but would you ever be interested in/consider making a picrew (or something like that) for people who want to make static front-facing sprites in this style, since you have all the assets?

Thanks! What an awesome tool. I will purchase regardless.

Hi, thanks for reaching out.

Wouldn’t a static front-facing sprite just be the front-facing idle sprite, or do you mean something else. If so, TDSM does let you choose which directions and animations to export, so you can already limit the export to that single sprite, since the idle animation is only a single frame in this case.

I’m actually hearing about Picrew for the first time. But no, I don’t see myself making a dedicated avatar maker in this style.

I’m actually releasing a major update in a couple days at the latest that will make it possible for users to make and upload their own styles to TDSM. Using the tools that already exist in the program, it will be possible for you to make your own avatar styles.

Let me know if that addresses your question :)

Thanks! It basically does; I was wondering if you would host (or be open to hosting) your assets for this project on a site such as picrew for those who want to make "dolls" for fun but don't need/want to pay for the full program or animation capabilities. The final product would be the same as the front-facing idle sprite.

If you are open to it, I would be happy to try and port it over myself, with full credit and links here of course! Thank you for your response and your continued work on this very cool project.
