2D sprite animation you direct

You direct the stunt
Get sprite references for every frame

Pose a stunt dummy, time the move on a real timeline, and get your own character drawn in every frame, on-model, at the angle you choose. No prompt roulette, no premade moves.

Left: the dummy you posed. Right: your character, drawn over it.

How it works

You keep the control an animator wants. Whoever does the drawing, you or any AI, works from a clear guide for every frame.

1

Pose the stunt dummy

Drag hands, feet, hips, head and joints in 3D or 2D. Colour-coded parts and facing arrows show exactly which way everything points.

2

Time it

Key poses on a timeline in seconds. Stretch frames, tween with curves, hold feet in place, scrub and play it back, with onion skins.

3

Get your character

Upload a reference picture once. Stunt Sprite builds a guide sheet for every frame. Draw over it yourself, or hand it to any image AI with the ready-made prompt, and load the result back to play.

Made with Stunt Sprite

Each pair is the guide (left) and the drawing (right), straight out of the tool, unedited. Two characters, side and isometric views.

Built for control

Everything a one-click generator can't give you.

Real timelineFrame lengths in seconds, tween or hold, ease curves, zoom and scrub.
Any angleSide view for fighters, isometric or top-down for RPGs. Pose once and turn it to all 8 directions.
Feet that stay putHeld feet keep their spot across frames, so walks and lunges don't slide.
Faces on cueHead turns are written into the prompt frame by frame, so the face follows.
Your proportionsHeavy, medium, light or chibi. Switch bodies while it plays and the move refits.
Dress it upCoats, capes, hoods, hats, belts, gloves and boots on the dummy, with sliders for length and colour.
Hands and weaponsFingers that open and close, plus swords, shields and bows that follow every pose.
In-place spritesThe guide follows the hips, so frames come out centred and ready for your engine.
Draw it by handAnimate by hand? Export a reference sheet: the posed mannequin in every frame, numbered with its timing, to draw over yourself.

Why not just prompt it?
