any specific pixel art online courses you recommend? Lately been getting the urge to start drawing again.

Also question, do you think making the pixel art + animations takes longer than doing the equivalent in 3d(models + rigs + animations)? I'm assuming yes, but not 100% sure.

I'm afraid Ive never used any courses so I can't recommend any. I also have no experience with 3d models so I cant say. I would imagine though that models actually take a lot more work to do well.

my assumption is that overall 2d is faster, but there's the advantage in 3d that you re-use animations of similar skeletons. But if you need a very large amount of high fps animations I think 2d would be slower. But think at that point going 3d would be beneficial.

Thanks a bunch for this. I already have some experience with pixel art as i just adooore it in games. But i kind of feel like i hit a dead end where Im not really happy with it most of the time but have no idea how to improve 😵‍💫
