One of my favourite types of artwork is pixel art. Pixel art is a form of digital art, created through the use of raster graphics software, where images are edited on the pixel level. Graphics in most old (or relatively limited) computer and video games, graphing calculator games, and many mobile phone games are mostly pixel art. (Yes I copied that off of wikipedia :D)

So I thought we could make a thread were we share our pixel art, and the pixel art of others. Anything from pixel art, to pixel games.

There are two sites that I know of that are quite good. One is a forum known as http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php, (Beware, those people are professionals and can find massive amounts of errors in things that look amazing for us!) Then there is http://www.nitrome.com which is full of awesome pixel games.

Here are some of mine:

Hello fellow pixelartist! I'm going to critique you, if you don't mind.
First off, there are more colors than the default MS paint ones. Surely you know how to get to them? (Colors > Edit colors, btw) Also, don't use the circle tool, line tool, or, well, any tools but the paintbrush and pencil. It's obvious when you do and it indicates laziness.
Other than those very basic things, I think they look good. Nice design.

the link needs shadow/lightningy stuff ...

I did do lighting on him but it's barely noticeable.

I just finished a sprite for a "top-secret" project.
