Deities! (Secret of Mana-esque elemental summons)

There's 100 deity images in all, so I made a little image gallery on my own web space to show them off. CryPixels is such a great tool once you learn how to use it! (Note: the tool can't natively make 64x64 pixel images, but it can make 32x32, which I then run through the Scale2x algorithm once, to generate 64x64 versions.)

Great work! Glad to see your enjoying the software.

Just a quick note on the size, you can have a 32px generation grid and set the 'Output Scale' under 'Generation Settings' panel to '2x'. This would give you a pixel perfect 64px sprite. If your using batch output make sure you change 'Scale' to "Scaled' which will use whatever 'Output Scale' you have set.

Cheers, TomC

Oh really? Is this using the Scale2x algorithm too? If so, it would save me a step. It looks like it isn't, which is why I applied it after generating. Scale2x is great for upscaling pixel art in a power of 2 size to a power of 2 size 1 greater (like 32x32 to 64x64), as it never adds colors and tries to preserve details.

Sorry, didn't realise you were using an algorithm to upscale! This looks really good, going to have a play with some sprites myself. Will look at the possibility of integrating this or something similar in future versions. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
