Cross-Platform

Windows

Mac

  • Seashore, based on GIMP but with a simplified UI/toolset
  • Paintbrush, a simple free editor well tuned for smaller scale images such as starbound assest
  • Pixen ($9.99, but designed specifically for pixel/8-bit art)
  • Piskel a nice software to make your own pixel based item sprites
  • Pyxel Edit (in beta, currently $9)

Linux

  • Krita[free, open source] A powerful and free digital drawing/painting program, but with feature support for pixel art.
