DSprite
A downloadable tool for Windows and Linux
DSprite is a pixel art package inspired by '90s programs like Deluxe Paint II and Personal Paint but with the capabilities of more modern tools. DSprite is designed with distraction-free, efficient workflows in mind. Tool layouts are clear and discoverable.
Try before you buy. The demo is the complete app; every tool, bone animation, palette cycling, all of it. Saving and exporting are disabled, so it's for evaluation rather than production work. Windows and Linux builds below.

Hi, is it possible to make dithered gradients with more than 2 colors in DSprite?
Yes absolutely. In Indexed mode the gradient is the colors linearly through the palette between the foreground and background colors. If that's 5 palette entries that's 5 colors in your gradient, if it's 32 colors then that. In RGB mode a gradient is built algorithmicaly between your foreground and background color and there's a slider to adjust how many steps you want, so if you want two colors you can have that and if you want 32 colors between then you can have that.
Hope that makes sense.
Here's a short video that demonstrated the RGB mode version
Thanks, that sounds really cool!
I now see that you mean more than two actual colors, not steps between, and the answer is still yes in Indexed mode but I don't yet have a video demoing that. I'll make one soon.
Just added a screenshot that demonstrates the multicolor gradients in Indexed mode
amm impresive tool selection indeed.
