Why Take This Class?
A character's personality is shaped by a variety of elements, including not only external design but also the story, concept, and, crucially, animation. Surprisingly, much of a character's identity is defined by their movement. As an animator, it is your responsibility to ensure that these movements are both natural and appropriate, making your role integral to the character's overall impact.
Pixel animation distinguishes itself from other forms of animation due to the profound impact a single pixel can have on the overall movement, influencing the visual outcome in significant ways. This unique characteristic offers compelling possibilities for expression and creativity. Grasp your opportunity to showcase your skills and potential through pixel art animation. Who knows? You may be the one that possesses an untapped talent that has yet to be fully realized.

Hi, I'm Fifthtee55! or 5thtee to be short.
I'm a freelance artist who has been drawing for 6 years. I work both in animation and illustration, but I'm mainly interested in animation. I've never been bored making animation because the possibilities are endless with each idea. There's so much you can discover and learn from a single shot of animation.
I'm passionate about anime and gaming, so my work usually revolves around anime style and the gaming industry. If you are interested in indie gaming or personal projects in general, this class is for you. In this course, I will be teaching you with everything I have giving life and color to your own characters/scenery.

Interview with
Pixel Animator FifthTee55
Question.01
Could you please share how you started your journey in the industry?
I have always enjoyed working on personal projects and started animating stick figures when I was a kid. As I grew older, I began working on more serious projects and topics, and I was inspired to learn pixel art by the fighting game King of Fighters XIII. I fell in love with its sprites and Kim's Pants animation so much that I wanted to create my own version. Another example is Touhou 15.5, a pixel fighting game with beautiful sprites and animation. These works are incredible; it's amazing how they managed to create such beautiful art in KOF XIII. As I know, it almost bankrupted the company!
Question.02
Please share your thoughts on the industry's job market and what you see in the industry's future.
Pixel art will always remain a classic and stable style in the gaming and art industries due to its simplicity and stylization. I don't think it will ever die. As for animation, it may often be underrated, but that's okay. Animators will always be needed in the entertainment industry.
Question.03
What do you think is the most important trait(s) to success in your industry?
Sparkle, creativity, the joy of improvement, and recognition — these are the driving forces. It doesn't matter if you're not good yet; everyone starts at zero or somewhere, as long as you have a good head start.
