Neon Bulkhead – Sci-Fi Characters (Animated)

Six crew members and threats for your sci-fi game, drawn to match the Neon Bulkhead UI kit. The pilot, android and commander are the same characters as the UI kit portraits.

Characters

• Pilot – orange flight helmet, cyan visor, teal flight suit
• Android – white chassis, red optic band
• Commander "Cmdr. Vex" – grey hair, navy uniform, gold epaulets, scar
• Engineer – yellow hard hat, goggles, orange overalls, tool belt
• Guard – armoured security, red visor, blaster rifle
• Alien – six-legged green xeno crawler with red eyes

Animations (192 frames total)

• All 6: 4 directions (down, left, right, up) × idle (2 frames) + walk (4 frames)
• Guard & alien also get attack (3 frames) and hurt/death (3 frames) in every direction
• Suggested timing: idle 400 ms, walk 120–150 ms, attack 80/120/120 ms, hurt 100/150/hold

Specs

• Frame 16x24 px, footprint is the bottom 16x16 (one tile); anchor at bottom-centre
• Fits 16x16 tilesets such as the Neon Bulkhead Space Station Tileset
• UI kit palette + 3 skin tones, dark outline, no anti-aliasing

Files included

• sheets/ – one sheet per character (96x96, or 192x96 for guard/alien)
• combined_sheet.png – all 6 stacked (224x576)
• frames/ – all 192 frames as individual 16x24 PNGs
• gifs/ – 4x walk-cycle previews
• preview_4x.png, mockup_4x.png, cover_630x500.png, README.txt

All files are plain PNG (GIFs are previews only), so they work in any engine that slices sprite sheets – e.g. Godot, Unity, GameMaker, Construct, Defold. Scale by whole numbers (2x/3x/4x) with nearest-neighbour filtering.

How it was made

Every pixel was drawn procedurally by code, with no AI image generation. The generator code was written with the help of AI coding assistants.
