ABOVE OUR EXPECTATIONS
It has now been a few months that we have been working with Pixune Studios and the quality they deliver is truly impressive. From the start, they have been understanding our vision and providing 3D animations that were above our expectations. We are already engaging ourselves in a long term partnership.
VERY CUSTOMER-ORIENTED
Design quality and animation work were very good for character briefs and every feedback was taken into consideration. As a result, high quality design was received within a defined time frame, and Pixune was very responsive in terms of delivering our needs. They have taken everything into consideration to reflect our needs and delivered a successful project In a defined timeframe. They are very customer-oriented and try to help your activities as much as possible. Instead of taking money and running, they are like teammates for us.
NO BUGS AND NICE GRAPHICS
I hired Pixune to develop a sample runner game in Unity. The process was very smooth due to their experience, and their suggestions were always helpful. It was a bit over budget, but the results were excellent. The sample game had no bugs and nice graphics. The project was finished 3 weeks before the deadline. I hired two freelancers on Upwork before Pixune for a similar project and not only they were months late over the deadline, but the results were also very bad. So, I have to say I'm quite pleased with hiring Pixune.
CONTINUE TO HIRE THEM FOR OTHER PROJECTS
There's an old saying that when it comes to hiring people you can look for "good," you can look for "reliable," or you can look for "affordable"... but you won't be able to find somebody who is all three. In Pixune's case, I feel they come the closest of anybody I've dealt with over the past years of our company's existence. I've been really happy with Pixune. I originally hired them in the Fall of 2022 for game development and was happy enough with them that I continue to hire them for other projects, even ones that fall outside of the original reason I contacted them. Besides game development, I've had them do web design work for our site. They're very flexible, accommodating, and extremely reliable.
HIGH PRODUCTION STANDARDS IN MINIMUM TIME
Our project of character design was complex and required high production standards in minimum time. The results I received were of the highest standards, and the work was very professional. Highly recommended!
BETTER THAN THE REFERENCE
The quality of the art received was really impressive after the team came up with ideas and improvements all the time for the characters. Being timely and attentive to details is great but their passion and involvement in our project were amazing! We will surely collaborate again. The team is very passionate and we were amazed when we got the final result which was better than the reference we provided, a reference that we really liked. I can say that we loved their work and that they are able to take an idea and bring it to life thanks to the passion they are working with and the perfect communication they are providing until the best result is reached.
HIGHLY COOPERATIVE PEOPLE
The Pixune team is full of kind, excellent, considerate, empathetic, talented, and highly cooperative people. The quality of the work that was received was outstanding, however it did take multiple iterations to reach that level. Some instructions were missed, but were fixed - it just lengthened the process and the schedule.
HIT EVERY DEADLINE
Awesome work. Great communication. Was really happy with Pixune and how great this project came out. Hit every deadline, and even when we needed to change directions a bit, he was able to still hit the deadline. We will certainly be working with Pixune again.
PUT EXTRA EFFORT INTO THE PROJECT
They are very eager to satisfy the client's requirements. Their communication is perfect and also understanding of the required output is on point. They put extra effort into the project to get it completed in time and have a skilled team and your project is safe in their hands. I will definitely work with them in the future. Best of luck guys great working with you.
SURELY COME BACK AGAIN
This guy did really good work, he really did amazing art and even after the artist finished he wasn't happy with it so he did it all over again from scratch. I really recommend him and will surely come back again. (this is already the second time)
THE END RESULT WAS WORTH
This was a great experience overall. He took time to actually understand what was needed to deliver the project that I was asking for. Modelers tend to rush because they think they know what the client want, but Pixune went over to clarify the specifics. It required a little more time than we agreed on. However, the end results was worth an extra few days. Trust me...it's worth waiting a few more days, than to have something you don't like at the end. I highly recommend to anybody reading this review. And I look forward working with Pixune again. Thank You!
THE RESULT FAR EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS
I've worked with many illustrators and I've never had such an amazing experience! The results far exceeded my expectations, communication was great, and very flexible and willing to please. I'll definitely use them again for more projects!
VERY COMMUNICATIVE
Pixune was very communicative throughout our project. they asked a lot of good questions and produced great work.
VERY EASY TO WORK WITH
The team did everything they could to help us and give us the result we wanted. They always listened to feedback and were very easy to work with. I look forward to working with them again!
BRILLIANT TO WORK WITH
Brilliant to work with and will be working with them in the future!
PIXUNE GOT THE PROJECT RIGHT FROM THE START
Pixune got the project right from the start. We had a somewhat unique art style that needed consideration to be both cartoony and low poly. They were great at interpreting the brief and adding their own style and ideas which really helped. Throughout the rest of the concepts and 3D models & animation steps, nothing was a problem, they asked good questions and were happy to jump on a video call for updates at any time. We will be using them in the future!
We are perfectionists by nature and can’t even deliver a bad pixel art design even if asked to! An ugly art annoys our brains more than you.

We welcome changes and criticism, and we are as flexible as possible when it comes to implementing revisions. However, as professionals, we will express our opinions and provide our advice. Ultimately, the decision-making lies with you.
You may have experienced situations where delegating a project has resulted in both time and cost wastage, with a failed outcome. That’s not the case here. We will take full responsibility to ensure that the desired outcome is achieved once and for all.

To create awesome pixel game art design, 7 critical points should be taken into account:
1. Strong Visual Identity:
Memorable pixel art designs have a distinct and recognizable style. Whether it’s the color palette, character shapes, or overall theme, the design should stand out and be instantly identifiable.
2. Attention to Detail:
In pixel art, every pixel counts. Creating immersive animated pixel art worlds requires close attention to the arrangement and use of pixels to create intricate details, even within the constraints of a small canvas. This precision adds depth and texture, making the design more engaging.
3. Simplicity and Clarity:
While detail is important, simplicity is key in pixel art. The best designs balance complexity with clarity, ensuring that the image is easy to read and understand at a glance. This is particularly important in game design, where quick recognition is essential.
4. Expressive Characters and Elements:
Memorable pixel art often features characters and objects that convey emotion and personality, even with limited pixel space. Clever use of color, shading, and animation can bring these elements to life, making them more relatable and engaging.
5. Consistent Style:
A coherent and consistent art style across all assets is crucial for creating a cohesive visual experience. Whether you’re designing a single character or an entire game world, maintaining a consistent style ensures that every element feels like part of the same universe.
6. Effective Use of Color:
Color plays a vital role in pixel art, helping to set the tone and mood of the design. Memorable pixel art often utilizes a limited color palette effectively, using contrast and shading to create depth and highlight important details.
7. Nostalgic Appeal with Modern Twist:
Pixel art often evokes a sense of nostalgia, harking back to the classic video games of the past. However, memorable designs can blend this nostalgic charm with modern elements, creating a fresh yet familiar visual experience that appeals to both old and new audiences.
