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 computer and video games. One example of pixel art is the very first Super Mario Bros.

I have just begun to make Pixel Art and wanted to share some of my photos, and to see if anyone else makes Pixel art.

Here is my very first pic:

The program I used is Pixen you can find it here:http://opensword.org/Pixen/

For that picture I think you have to post references or something...

What you used as a reference when making.

Yeah, w/e.

It looks pretty good btw, and that site is cool! It's not the best though.

The picture just looks like a copy of Mario from the very first mario games... It doesn't impress me though. But good try though, Personally it just looks like an exact copy.

Oh hey, I have Pixen already... Haven't really used it yet, though, 'cause I'm not that good at tiny art.

This is the only pixelart I've ever finished:

Here's Pikachu:

I messed up a little with the drawing, Pikachu should have been fatter and the colors should have been more saturated. Since I wanted it to be the original Pikachu, but oh well.

Here's a quick pixel art I made it took me about five minutes:
http://s238.photobucket.com/albums/ff85/costas222/th_PixelArt--PacmanGhost.png

It's not very good, but I decided to add it anyway. I messed up on the mouth a little and I could have add more detail to the eyes, but oh well.

A much better pixel art than the Ghost. I used Pixen to make the original then I uploaded it onto Gimp to do the blurring effects.

Here's the Cupcake:

If it's blurred it isn't pixelart.

Also, you should post links to the drawings you use for reference. The Pikachu looks like you raced it...

I meant to write "traced", not "raced".

Also
