Responsive Pixel Art

I love pixel art in general but the Zeus one, in particular, is amazing. I think it's only on that one that I realized just how much these change in response to movement.

Don't know much about it but this surely takes a lot of work? Does every instance of movement have to be accounted for separately or would this reuse some variations?

I remember seeing this way back when StumbleUpon was more popular. I feel like it was around 2011? Forgot all about it but was instantly brought back.

it seems each image is in a .px file: https://essenmitsosse.de/pixel/scripts/zeus.px

You can see Zeus here, I tried looking at his website and twitter but couldn't find much.

On his Github account I can see a project https://github.com/essenmitsosse/resolution-independent-grap... but it hasn't been updated in 3 years, so I'm not sure if he used that or not.

image is probably separated into parts and layers with logic on how to scale and morph and trial and error to make it look nice

It appears to be purely a function of aspect ratio.

I would guess there are thresholds which interpolate in different directions where each image represents an orthogonal axis.

Also some random particles stuff, like in Tantalos.
