Inspired by retro game graphics from the 1980s and 1990s, such as those made famous by the iconic Atari, Spectrum, Sega and Nintendo consoles, this complete tool kit contains everything you need to create your own pixel art. Full of useful shortcuts, this is one of my most fun and innovative packs to date. It features pixel brushes and patterns, which together allow the user to make their own 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit inspired art quickly and easily. A set of one-click 8-bit type effects – handy for creating pixelated titling.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed developing this pack and I’m sure you are going to love it too – grab it now and unleash your inner retro artist!

This useful tool kit contains the following elements:

Pixel Brushes:

  • A trusty, go-to pixel outline brush – Draw multiple pixels with one stroke and save time! Versions with varied spacing have also been supplied.
  • Purpose-built shaders – Supplied in horizontal and vertical varieties.
  • Decorative Pixel Brushes – Designed for creating varied pixel textures and stunning backgrounds.

A Pixel Pattern Library:

Save time by flooding areas with pixel texture quickly and easily. This means you don’t need to waste time drawing backgrounds and large areas and it makes creating detailed scenes a doddle. Because the patterns are seamless, you can fill any size area. Recoloring is quick and easy too. Supplied in 45 varieties including rocks, tiles, bricks, clouds, earth, wood and more.

One-click Type Effects:

Turn type & vector shapes into authentic looking 8-bit type in an instant! The graphic styles combine seamless textures, gradients, brushes and effects, so they can be applied in seconds. The styles can be adjusted and re-colored after application. I’ve also included a background pattern for each graphic style.

Example File:
