Is this considered 8x8 or 16x16


so im working on this asset pack and and I’m wondering whether to consider this 8x8 or 16x16

It’s neither, most of these sprites are 9x9. you should just stick to 9x9 as that looks like its most comfortable for you to work with. I know it’s not a power of 2 but don’t care about it, unless it specifically needs to be, then try to redo these sprites and make them fit an 8x8 grid

Right thanks I was asking because I am planning on putting it on itch.io

do you think its ok to call it a 8x8 on itch

It’s not 8x8, they’re 9x9, it’s not okay to call them 8x8 because they’re not

right ok thanks

If they all fit nicely in a 16x16 frame and you release it as a sheet of 16x16 grid aligned sprites, you can call them 16x16. The pixels don’t have to actually fill the whole 16x16 frame in every icon/character/whatever.

I’d say especially for icons, you want them to have some breathing room within the designated space.
