Holy shit that description.  I'm sold, and take my kidney and my 3 children!

it is a beautiful piece, but I feel less controlled pixels have been rejected many times over for that very reason. I like breaking the mold as much as the next guy, but where others have been declined, you seem to get a free pass to do so

it's like across the whole image but it only happens mostly at 1x view.  It almost looks like it has bilinear filtering.  At 2x this blur effect mostly disappears.  The only places that dont look bilinearly filtered at 1x to me are the blue laser beams.  I think what you might have going on is a strange kind of banding with straight lines of darkening hues around brighter colors that emulates filtering and the eye perceives it as blurry at 1x.  but at 2x it looks great.  Maybe play with reducing and or tweaking the colors.  Maybe slightly brighter base colors would lessen the blur effect? dunno

whoa the blurry is so weird. at first i thought the resolution was messed up

this piece works better as oekaki.  it's beautiful

you posted it before and the main crit was that you used the grass to avoid feet xd

wow aawesome iidea, and i like how you went with more saturated colors than usual

im luvin ur stuff

much better 

AA ;)

really cool.  i find the composition a little confusing though. bits at the side are oddly cut, not sure i get the pig being where he is.  other than that insane animation skills

too kirbylike

well this is a vastly different take than im used  to on this topic xD  you nailed the execution.  subtle color blending/rendering/shaarpness achieved is all high quality

wow!!!!!!! maybe the handle is slightly off perspective, but i LOVE this

nice rendering.  

really weird, feels half like pixel art, but immediately intriguing

this is amazing

um

too much of the detail in the face seems to be causing banding :/  the result is it looks messier than it is on the pixel level. prettty cool though :)

but this is a PIXEL ART site.  so we already know what the gallery is for.  and when a hybrid pixel is not accepted where any pure piece is, it automatically creates an unspoken dichotomy of pure vs hybrid with pure on top.  which is a problem.

i think you missed my point :/ i dont think in any way do you personally categorize hyybrids as inferior.  just that they are not accepted into the gallery and that they are not considered "pure" leads to an inferior connotation.

but the sight is already skewed towards ppure because it is what the gallery displays, even if you can link the hybrid.  this and the word pure itself paints hybrids as inferior when we have established is not the case

how about strict vs mixed pixel art?  mixed could refer to mixing of tools, the mixing effect it has on the pixel level, while not being pejorative.  

WUT ONLY 4TH PLACE????

it's not that messy at all.  just could use a final clean up of clusters and some AA.   love thissssss
