Oh, so now we are removing truthsaying comments rather than rule-breaking images... yeah, PJ is going down fast!
I know right?! Im not the best artists but my last piece fully hand drawn looks a hell of a lot better than this and took a week to be aproved and this one was sitting in the queue for a day before it got approved.
I'm afraid this is not pixel art, because you let a program perform a reduction of size (and colors) of one of your animated paintings. Animated GIF does have its uses, especially for the web, and the "grain" of dither pattern can be interesting, but it's really not the same artform. For example at this size / color count the "MAR" sign becomes nearly unreadable, both lit and unlit. It would be more interesting to touch up / fix / or outright redraw the letters using pixel art technique : favoring "full" pixels when possible, and using antialiasing / subpixelling otherwise. I am really sorry to break it to you, because I hope you don't see it as a kind of rejection from the community, but the gallery of PJ is really specialized for pixel art works, so you can expect that this piece will appear "inactive / sent back for revision". I see you are expanding your techniques, and this is great. If you have any time to invest in touching up this piece or start another, don't hesitate to post it in the forum : hybrid pieces are fine there, and as you explain what process you use, people can give feedback and advice on parts that need more work, and which pixel art technique helps what.
It's much more about your demeanor than the truth; you'll notice the mods have removed the piece as well. There are ways to make your point without throwing insults.
