Pixel Art Challenge: April Fools Gallery 2022

Another year has passed since the last April Fool's Challenge: it was not the best year ever, and the present one is already competing to become even less best. So we could use some fun, right?

If this is your first time, the rules are as follow:

1) pick a PJ artist who inspires you, who you like, who you want to prank, or choose randomly.

2) study their work, technique, style, themes, palettes, whatever identifies them or makes them unique.

3) copy those features and make your own work (without plagiarism), and pretend they made it.

4) name the artist or link to their page.

5) fool us all.

Canvas Size - min. the smallest canvas of the choosen artist divided by 2, max. whatever you are able to finish in one week;

Colours - min. two, max. whatever will not make our pixel purist alarms go off;

Transparency - min. no transparency, max. a transparency;

Animation - min. no animation, max. a lot of animation;

Foolness - optional.

As usual, we are sharing links to previous galleries:

last year's challenge,

another past challenge,

and another one,

totally legit link,

definately not Rick,

choose wisely,
vintage one,

ancient one.

The challenge thread will have all the challenge updates. The thread is also a great place to post your WIPs.

This is going to be so tough, I have a lot of favorite artists on here that have such wild styles that I don't even know how to begin emulating. Here's to trying though!

To be fair, it's also a case of finding the time thanks to my busy work schedule. I have a few in mind that I'm interested in, but whether or not I get around to it remains to be seen.
