If anyone finds nice 'Pixel Art ONLY' or 'hand drawn classic' Isometric sites, post them here. I still haven't found any with good examples of walking animations or weapon swinging at an angled or iso view of any sort ... Thank You ...

but Please NO tutorials for blender or 3dCAD any of that other 3d program stuff
warning, there's a rant below
RANT ... got alot of that crap on google an' if i was lookin' for that, well why would i need to know how to draw or animate anything? .. those 3d programs ya just make the models, (which takes just as long or longer than pixel art if you want any level of detail) then ya just move parts around after the parts are built, so why does google show them when i'm looking for angles and isometric and animation and drawing and other such things? ... /RANT

Because when you're talking about learning how to make something very specific such as isometric, it's more about measurement then about technique. You could spend hours trying to measure things out correctly or use 3D software to do it faster and achieve results far more efficiently.
Theres absolutely no degradation in the artwork itself by simply taking some short cuts, especially if the final will look the same. You're not sacrificing any artistic freedom because at any point you can choose to stop using the 3D renders as a guide and go off on your own. I learned this in my drawing class when my professor was explaining to me why it's okay to do visual measurements while trying to draw a still life. It's not cheating.

Yes yes, I know this ... I have a few 3d programs on my computer that I checked out, but none of them are intuitive and easy to use.
For my needs of maybe 4 frames per animation sequence, it'd be faster to draw it out with pixels than to learn the 3d proggys, make the models, and move the arms and legs around.

I've got a nice 2d skeletal program that could be used if I needed to do a bazillion frames for smooth animation, but for that I have to draw each limb seperately, then load them all into the program, which is a hassle. It is nice though because once you load the parts and place them on the skeleton, you can just move the parts to lets say position 1, then position 2, then position 3, and click a button to draw all the frames in between automatically ... very nice feature to have. Some 3d programs have that feature too, but none with a nice interface, everything has its steep learning curve that I just don't feel like bothering with right now. And besides all that, the 2d program I mentioned is difficult to make the strange angled walk that I'm trying to accomplish.

All I really need is one nicely animated simple pixel art example of the animation style I'm looking for and I'd be able to use it as a base to learn off of.

Final Fantasy Tactics for the Game Boy Advance has nice pixel isometric pixel art.
You could always take a peek at those.

 
Your just jealous that you're not as awesome as me.
