Pixel Proof

In an era led by war on aesthetics, 8-bit designs and pixel art are elements that stand behind a whole ideology. With applications such as Pixel Proof, creating such art is as easy as 1-2-3.

This particular program can either be used in order to quench your artistic desire or to create various elements or sprites for video games and animation.

The application boasts a clean and organized interface. The number of tools that one has access to is big, so neatness had to be a priority for the developers. Nevertheless, it's not just neatness that seems to count here.

The overall interface is suited for youngsters and more advanced artists. It is reminiscent of some older programs, but in this particular case, it fits the stereotype. Everyone believes that a pixel art creator should be visualized through an old-school interface.

The core of the application is no different from Paint. It's a blank pixelated sheet of paper. How you use this sheet depends on your imagination. There are tons of tools, among which an animation tool and a regular picture transformation tool.

The color palette is also quite astounding. You can create as many shades of color as you see fit. There are multiple smudge and smear tools, each with a unique way to throw color around. Creating an animation is equally simple, as is exporting any created image within the app.

While most may believe such a program could be used solely for creating art, other uses may include the creation of different elements for games. With the revival of the 8-Bit aesthetics, such an art program is a blessing for developers and creators alike.

Summing up, Pixel Proof is another example of an extremely interesting application. It is a simple, yet effective principle that lays at the core of this program and that lets your imagination loose onto a virtual, pixelated piece of paper.
