we draw the world one square at a time.
pix3lware is a pixel-art studio & asset shop — sprites, tilesets, animation packs and commissions for games, brands and people who miss the CRT hum.
pix3lware started in a spare bedroom with a Game Boy, a graph-paper notebook, and way too much patience for 16×16 grids. Years later, that same patience goes into every tileset, every walk-cycle, every 4-color palette we ship.
We work the way the format demands: constraint first. No layer you don't need, no pixel you can't justify.
Pick what fits your project — or start with a message and we'll figure it out together.
Custom characters, icons and key art built to your game or brand's existing palette and grid.
Ready-to-drop tilesets, UI kits and animation sheets, licensed for indie and commercial use.
Step-by-step breakdowns of dithering, palette limits and animation timing — for beginners and studios alike.
Swap these for your own sprite exports whenever you like.
Our custom Ford Bronco Raptor. Drag to look around and zoom in on the details.
