Dino Character Sprites
A downloadable spritesheet
Dino Characters
An old project that has been collecting dust for the better half of 3-4 years, now available for download.
Content
Each character has a couple simple animations.
- IDLE
- MOVE
- KICK
- HURT
You can use these for what ever you'd like, but be sure to tag my twitter @ScissorMarks and credit me properly.
I also have stickers of these characters avaiable for sale on RedBubble, so be sure to check those out.
Changes
Version 1.1
A new animation set has been made per request.
- CROUCH / SNEAK
Status: Project finished, further updates are very unlikely.

I used these for my game here: https://seaweeddol.itch.io/dino-jumper-platformer
Thanks for the cute sprites!
I’ll give it a try when I get a chance. 😁
Thanks a lot for the great assets! I used one of the cute dinos in a Godot tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaVRT_YbmWY
Brilliant! I am looking to get further into Godot, so I may give your tutorial a try. 😄
Used your sprite here https://emy-ak7.itch.io/dinosaurs-last-defense. Thank you so much!
Nice work! I’ll give it a short look-see. 👍
please make wallsliding
Tell you what. If you give it a go first and show me what you’ve made, then I might give it a try too. 😁👌

Nicely made! I like it a lot! The fact that you made it in Scratch makes it easy for me to mess around with it too and make changes, and on that note I think I have found a solution for you as well.
I recommend you try to use the costume “run_3” or “jump” instead of the idle sprite. You could make a couple changes to it if necessary, but I think that would improve the visuals immediately.
Additionally; I think you should make the hitbox collider look like this [image] instead, as it get’s you closer to the walls when sliding down. I also made it a little shorter so you can fit in between your platforms, but that is all up to taste.
I had fun playing and wish it was a little longer, actually. 😁👌
Thanks for the suggestion for the longer hitbox, and really thank you for "run_3" or "jump"!!!
Hah, saw it in the game named "Days Bygone")
Yup, they picked them up from here. 😁
also if anyone is reading this i found a expansion pack for this (bassically new dino colors and some new animations. the creator gave credits to arks and for arks dinos he only added the new animations): Dino Family
lol forgot to give the link for my game i am going to send it
Edited: https://turtle-studios.itch.io/dino-the-game (it will say 404 page not found then just go to my profile and enter the game (the link is not complete itch.io didn’t read the -game as a part of the link)
I will be sure to check it out. :)
what tool did you use for making this? (i need to know for my game's credits)
I think I used PaintDotNet initially. But I am pretty sure they’ve been through a bunch of other programs throughout its lifetime.
Ok. Thanks!
Thank you for your sprites!
You are welcome. 😁
can u make a jumping ani for every charater
Like I mentioned on the previous post I won’t be adding an additional animations in the foreseeable future. However, if you go a little further down in the comments I have described a method you can use to get a decent jumping animation from the sprites available. 😊
thanks!
“What people usually do when make a jump animation is take one of the frames from the running animation. Particularly the one with the back leg is pointing downward and the front leg is pointing forward. If you freeze that frame until the peak of your jump and then switch to one of the next, you might get a pretty decent result.”
Nice, can you please make a slide and turn?
Sadly I don’t have the time to work on the Sprite sheet, so this is a good opportunity to dip your toes into sprinting 😁
Amazing, but can I use the "Dino" title too for my game?
Absolutely! I have no claim to the name.
Oh you mean the letters? Yeah, sure!
Hello there, i give a SPECIAL THINKS to the best spritesheet maker thank you soooo much it helped me to make my first game.
can you make more🙂
I am glad you like them! Thanks a lot! It means a lot to me that I can be part of the start of your journey! 😄
And also I put you in the credit of it Also, I will not remove you even if the game programming is completed😁
Hello! I am making a game with the green dino in construct 3. when i finish it i give you the link for it :)
also i will credit you in credits ;)
I look forward to seeing it! 😮
it will take more time than i expected so it can make it free
i published a came called "Dino Shooter" but its a fundraising for the actual game
Hello! I made a cookie clicker with the green dino! I credit you too <3 very adorable sprites
https://harveybee.itch.io/dino-clicker
I’ll give it a whirl! 😁
Hi there, would I be able to use your Dinos for commercial use for game character assets? I love these little guys!
Sure
its sooo cute and cool!
but i have a question: can you make textures for tiles, clouds, other (thats what around dino)
in your style? I can't search same textures, like this dinos. thanks in advance!!
updated: i found textures like your, but anyway thanks!!
Sounds good! Did you make a game with it? I’d love to see it! 😊
Which tile textures look like the dinos? I want to make a game too
Hmm I am not sure how to answer you question. I am guessing it is because you are using a specific game engine, but I suggest you look up a tutorial about how to import textures into your engine of choice.
so good
Thanks! 🤩
thanks for you
Thanks for you!
no thanks for you
no you!
this is awsome, can I use them in a video tutorial about 2D games?
Absolutely and send a link when you are done! I hope you didn’t wait. 😵
can i use ur assets in my game ?
I would be sad if you didn’t. 😊
Thank you for your assets, helped me a lot in developing my first game: https://tretatus.itch.io/dino-run
Thank you for the kind comment here as well. I’m happy I could help!
Thanks for sharing these cute dinos. I used them in my game: https://github.com/tsen159/dino_parkour
wow thats amazing
Im wonndering if you can make a jump animation, because i have in mind to make maybe a 2d platformer. But anyway your art is awesome respect for posting free
This is a really good question. However; sadly I won’t be changing anything to the sprite sheet in the foreseeable future. I might have a solution for you though:
What people usually do when make a jump animation is take one of the frames from the running animation. Particularly the one with the back leg is pointing downward and the front leg is pointing forward. If you freeze that frame until the peak of your jump and then switch to one of the next, you might get a pretty decent result.
Thank you for your compliment! I am happy that they could be of help in your project. 😊
That's brilliant
Thank you so much , i really appreciate you brother ;)
I’m glad it helped.
Have a good wednesday.
I pretty much did what Arks said. Just took one of the run frames and moved his head up a little. To make it a little more apparent he's not grounded I added a fall animation where his legs are forward and he looks down. The tail wags a little.
Cute. I approve.
Thanks for making such cute dino sprites available for free <3
Definitely kick started my mobile app development journey as it's been a massive help in helping me make my first game. Probably saved me weeks of time having to create sprites from scratch or look for sprites as cute and well-made as yours :D

These assets are what inspired me to make my first game. (https://costellae-studios.itch.io/extinctions-edge)
I’ll give it a whirl! 😮😄
why don't the dinos have arms?
DID YOU CUT THEM OFF poor dinosaurs.
Thanks for making these characters! I just used one of the dinos in a game recently, at https://alzhu1.itch.io/eating-floating-fruits. I really like this pixel art, great stuff!
Thank you for this dino characters bro , I used it for my game https://riad-z.itch.io/flipping-over-it
Early in my pixel art journey I remember finding these sprites. They were fantasticly useful in helping me learn some pixel art basics.
Huge thanks for releasing this for free, I'm sure it has been a great resource for many including myself.
Cheers!
I’m gonna print this message to my wall. Thank you for the kind words. Might likewise motivate me to get back into it.
Would love to see you making more!
Hey, saw your character being used here. Looks cute. Thanks for sharing!

Hey, i used this in my game, and also credited you, THANKS A LOTT !
Hello! There is nothing saying something and I want to figure out if your okay with this!
I am using a certain color palette and I plan on using these sprites. But.. it's not the right color. Are we allowed to change the colors of the dinosaurs with your permission?
Yes you are allowed to change the colors as much as you’d like. You can even change the overall design as much as you please - as long you remember attribution you more or less have complete creative freedom.
Thank you so much!
Whenever I finally finish it, I'll 100% give credit <3
Haha! Have fun!
Puedo usar en mi juego Fijih
Si. 😊
