eishiya: Thanks. I also found the not very small [DELETE] button for my rejects.

Well, to me they're largely finished pieces with nothing to add, so although I'm open for critique on most of what I understand to be your definition of the art, I'd rather take these particular ones down rather than alter them. Its not that I disagree with your stance on technique, but several of them represent something personal to me.

The four pieces that I'd argue with you over are these:


A minimalistic approach, which to me vividly recollects a memory. Perhaps too personal, but isn't art meant to be open for interpretation? Some pixel art is surely abstract.


Another minimalistic scene, recollecting a place I used to live. Every pixel has a direct link to an object or collection of objects (chair, windowed door, balcony, layers of buildings against the horizon). Too small?


A rough memory of Grand Canyon. Its surely an oxymoron to image something so large so small, but isn't that once of the central struggles of working with pixels? Rather than depicting an exact part of the terrain, I tried to capture the feel on the day I was there.

Perhaps what I find refreshing with these minimalist approaches is that pieces that they're so small as to circumvent the often compromise-inducing problems and challenges surrounding "selective outlining" (new word I learned today - though I've struggled with the issue many times). Also, these pieces retain proportions well when zoomed in/scaled up, since no abstraction of the scene lighting occurs.


A bare bones image, but the comments include some mayhap useful information for anyone taking on the challenge of working with a sector engine's colormaps. I appreciate this might be a niche part of pixel pushing, but its quite relevant to those that subscribe by it. I hope my tone in the pic description wasn't too school-mastery and I'm afraid I still don't have the complete insight to write a tutorial on the subject - rather a crumbtrail of observations.

I'm learning more about pixel art every time I visit here, so perhaps I'll feel differently in the future. For now, these represent my personal style and tastes.

Fair enough. They're made to fit into a low-res first person environment, so may not be suitable for an online gallery. However, its nice to be able to press that +/- more than once.

I appreciate that your page is a much lauded place to display one's work and can but try to improve my submissions for the future. I'll resubmit the canyon one, and leave the others where they are.
