PIXEN FOR WINDOWS UPDATE
I will update this review if anything should happen or if there's anything else worth mentioning.Pixen is a professional pixel art editor designed for working with low-resolution raster art, such as those 8-bit sprites found in old-school video games. As far as I'm concerned, this was totally worth the purchase.
PIXEN FOR WINDOWS FULL
What a great app! VERY powerful if you use it to it's full potential. But it's not a big deal since next to each layer, there is a kind-of preview of the layer in a thumbnail that updates itself in real-time.
It started to get a tad confusing when I had more than 4 layers and simply renaming them would've been great for at-a-glance. The way I drew it was a basic drawing with grey, then I began to edit the different parts on a different layer for each: hair, clothes, skin, etc. One thing I wish you could do is rename your layers. I just spent about an hour and a half transposing a picture of my girlfriend and I - it looks great! Very very accomplished feeling. I've never worked with 8-bit pixel art like this except for Microsoft Paint, which is far less capable. Pixen is also available for iPad and syncs documents over iCloud!
