Good source for 2DCG content?

Hi!

I am looking for a 2DCG content for a game I am working on.

What software would you recommend for creating 2D characters?
What software would you recommend for making simple animations for 2D characters - like blinking, moving mouths when talking, e.t.c.?

Is there a forum thread here on f95zone, or a different website perhaps, where people share this stuff to help make game creation easier on those who, like myself, are not so artistically disposed?

Having recently played awesome looking games like Patronus and What A Legend, I have couldn't help but wonder if perhaps I too could make something in 2D rather that the DAZ 3D content I originally had in mind for my game.

Cheers

This isn't really a thing. Most 2D art you see in games is something people literally draw themselves or pay somebody else to draw for them. Things like simple avatar creation tools do exist, but it's usually very basic anime style stuff and I don't think I've seen anybody use it for a game.

If you're not "artistically disposed" you're probably better off learning Daz, then again, with enough patience even a monkey can learn how to trace art and do simple shading, so making your own 2D art doesn't necessarily require being "artistic."

If you can't be bothered with Daz or learning how to trace, Honey Select 2 would be another pretty accessible option.
