I don't think you should scale the whole pic. Matter of fact that will only get your art sent back for revision ;) Why not just show the one you already have at 1X ??
I see your point but in Pixeljoint its the preview that makes members want to click to view the pixelart. By not even scaling the pixels in proportion you are only making your art easy to ignore :/
