Cobalt

Cobalt is a painting program for creating limited-palette pixel art.

Designed around a tight set of features that work closely together, Cobalt provides a fast painting workflow that encourages spontaneity, inspires creativity, and saves you from getting lost in endlessly tweaking settings.

With Cobalt you can add random variation to any brush, layering up messy textures to create organic, richly textured pixel art paintings.

Some features of Cobalt are:

• A quick, intuitive user interface
• Customisable brush shapes and patterns
• Add texture to brushes with random scattering
• Draw straight lines or freehand curves
• Randomise colours, brush shapes, and patterns
• Create emergent textures by combining brush settings
• Texture-fill large areas with rectangle- or flood-fill
• Up to 256 levels of undo history
• Export your images as GIF files

Images created with Cobalt can contain up to eight colours, with a maximum image size of around 400x320 pixels.

Your purchase will give you a copy of Cobalt for Windows and Linux, and documentation in the form of an eight-page printable zine. 

You will also get access to all future updates, including releases on additional platforms.
