18 frames for every animal, in 4 directions

• Four-legged animals: idle 2, walk 4, run 4, eat 2, sleep 2, attack 2, hurt 1, dead 1.
• Birds: idle 2, hop 4, peck 2, take-off 2, fly 4, land 2, hurt 1, dead 1.

Made to drop in

• Exact cells: 16x16 for small animals and birds, 32x32 for the big ones, every frame in its cell with nothing cut off (the build checks it).
• One sheet per animal with the same layout (18 columns x 4 rows) and a JSON with every frame's rectangle, the column names and suggested frame rates; every frame also as its own PNG.
• 1x, 2x and 3x, PNG only, nearest-neighbour ready.
• Same 16x16 top-down view as Gridwright Medieval Village, Modern Town, Farm and Top-Down Characters (each sold separately). The scenes in the screenshots use Medieval Village tiles, which are not included.

Try before you buy

The free sample has 3 animals with every frame: an orange tabby cat, a golden dog and a sparrow (216 frames), plus both shadows.

What it does not include

No farm animals (cows, sheep, pigs and chickens are in Gridwright Farm, side view), no fish or insects, no 8-direction sprites, no Aseprite files and no engine project files. The art is drawn at 16x16 and 32x32; the 2x and 3x files are scaled copies.

Licence

Use and modify in personal and commercial projects. Shipping the sprites inside your game is fine. No resale or redistribution of the assets, modified or not. Credit is appreciated, not required. Not for AI training or NFTs.

How it was made

Every frame is drawn by code: each body plan is a small 3D rig drawn as pixel shapes in the side, front and back views, with one pose table for every animal. The code was written with AI-assisted tools. No image generator was used, and no third-party art is included.
