Creating Chibi Avatars in Aseprite

by | Oct 23, 2025 | Pixel Art | 0 comments

Health-wise, these past few days have been… hard. I haven’t been able to work much on anything, and mental health was in the dumps too. I was watching the days go by, unable to do anything besides mindlessly watching videos on YouTube.

But in my head, I was longing to do all the things, despite the little hope I had to achieve my goals for October.

I feel better. I’m not aching everywhere, fatigue is manageable—though I still have my heart beating very fast every time I get up.

Panic is there, though. I wanted to do so much more. For a while today, I even doubted I would find the strength to open the computer and do anything.

Opening Aseprite was easier than working on my game in Godot.

I used the color palette I created. I will definitely have to add more colors at some point—it was hard to work within the confines of the ones I chose.

I enjoy the chibi style—cute, small peeps with big heads. I decided of a fun (for me), no-commitment assignment for myself. These are 32×32 pixel art characters, with very little in terms of animation—they’re just walking side by side. I’m pretty pleased with the results.

Not sure I’ll use these characters in my game, but MAYBE. I’m counting them.

A Dumpster Fire Life

My health was not like that six months ago. I had chronic pain and chronic fatigue, yes, but I could move around the house. Now, just standing two minutes is enough to feel dizzy, like fainting.

I could accept if someone told me I can’t travel anymore. I could accept having to stay home.

I can’t accept being unable to enjoy my own home.
