Hi everyone! (hehe, always forget to do the whole introduction thing)

I've been pixelling for about a year and a half (unless you count a handful of terrible attempts before that), and I joined PJ because I really want to start getting out of my comfort zone and honing in on my technique! I hope to learn a lot from everyone here and make some friends along the way! :D

Hi everone, I joined PJ in 2014 but I became an active user right now hehehe...

My name is Gabriel, I live in Brazil, and I've been pixelling (actually trying to) since 2014, I hope to meet some other nice people here and learn many things with you all!

Hi there! I was posting pixels for quite a while here, but never knew that here was "meet&greet" thread.

My name is Aleksei, I'm from Russia.
I like to make short looped animations and put a music to them later.
A lot of good artists here and there inspire me to draw, despite some vision problems. And I hope that my works get better.

Nice to meet y'all.

Hello everyone!

I'm Phil, from Washington State, in the US.

I've always loved pixel art, just haven't got into actually doing it until this last year started rolling around. I'm trying to pick up a bunch of stuff and learn as I go. I'm always inspired to see the great work that comes from everyone here!

I have always been into art as a hobby for all my life, but currently trying to get a little more serious with it. I do icon design and table top character design in my spare time, and use Adobe Illustrator a lot. I use Pyxel Edit right now for my pixel work, I liked it the most out of the ones I've tried so far (although I'd like to get my hands on Aseprite when it goes on Steam sale).

Other than that, I'm married, my wife and I both love gaming, and I look forward to learning more from everyone!

Hi All :)

My name's Michiel and I hail from The Netherlands.

I've been playing around with pixel art since my Amiga days back in the 90's. It then kind of took a back seat to other game-related hobbies, mostly 3D level design. I released a level called Caged which was published with the FPS/RTS game Natural Selection 2 last year. I've been getting back into it however, and did pixel art for various Ludum Dare games over the last few years, most recently for LD37 a game called I Clean Toilet.

I've been logging my (visual) projects in my portfolio recently: http://portfolio.flaterectomy.com

I hope to get good constructive critiques on whatever I post, and will venture to be as helpful as I possibly can in return. :)

Hi everyone, Yanyi here from Canada. I enjoy browsing pixel art and have been a long time lurker in PJ. after some time, I got lost in the comings and goings of life and found PJ again just a few days back. I restarted by posting in the weekly challenge and then an avatar.

Quick question though, how long is it usually before an art gets approved?

Здравствуйте! 你好! Hello!

Augusta here! I drift around a lot and I seem to have landed in Canada for the time being. I have been doodling and spriting for years and I only now bothered to join a community about it-- I am not entirely certain as to why it took so long..

Anyway, I am working on a game of sorts on my own which I have been creating assets for and thought I might try to display some of them here. I have been making my own engine for it, too, in Python, which I have since learned was a mistake but as they say, "Hindsight is 20/20."

I work mostly with ASEprite, but I make a bit of art and effects in code as well. Obviously, I cannot post that stuff here, but if you are interested, I have a bit of a weblog going: https://view-from-a-warm-place.tumblr.com/ Take a look, if you like!~

I have drawn a lot of inspiration from games like Metal Slug and Sam and Max: Hit the Road and Soul Nomad, but I like lower-fidelity stuff too, like Nuclear Throne or either of the Princess Remedy games or Risk of Rain.

Onward! Давайте познакомимся! Nice to meet you all!

Hey all. My name is Branden and I'm a game developer still learning the way of the pixel. Currently working on my first mobile title but still need to up my animation and coloring skills before I can consider it finished.

Hello, everybody. I'm Arvester, from France.
I'm pretty new at pixel art but I want to learn as it was always a dream for me. There's magic in this few squares !
I play old games since forever and discovered the Virtual Boy a few years ago. And I think that 3D pixel art is amazing (seriously, you have to try it ! :p) So I ended drawing for a new game for Virtual Boy. As I'm not allowed to show what I do for it, I will share my other experiments, to improve my poor skills ^^

Hi folks. I haven't posted here since 2005 :D

Hello, my name is George i'm 22 a professional illustrator and wanting to break into the more animated and game art side of pixel art, always trying to improve!

Hello Friends

My name is Mike, I'm a full time freelance illustrator in the pen and paper and boardgame industry. I've always loved pixel art from afar and have decided I want to start taking part as well as admire. I've had a lot to learn so far, but really enjoying the experience.

Ha, that term makes me sound like I know what I'm doing. My jaw drops pretty much everytime I check out the galleries. So many incredible artists here. 

Welcome aboard, Eduardo! I hope that you will become a good pixel artist. You are on the right place for it.

Hello everyone! My name is Nina, I'm 18 years old and I come from The Netherlands. For my study I'm focusing on becoming a 3D artist, and I want to experiment with giving my models a pixel-art texture, but I also enjoy making 2D pixel art :)

Hello, my name is actually Michael and not Mart.

but as a username Pixel - M(ichael) -art = PixelMart
seemed more fitting :D

I'm new to pixelart but i hope to learn it for being able to create sprite-sheets and tile sets for a game.

since I dream about creating a Game or more Games in my life. I might have no experience in pixelart but worked with digital drawing in photoshop, clipstudio or krita.
And tried to get into basics with 3D sculpting with real clay or digital in zBrush.


I thin I will learn a lot here with pixelart which will enhance my usual drawings and sculpting too.

Hello folks!

First, I'm excited to be here. I'm loving pixel art and am more or less trying to become a pixel artist myself. I just discovered this forum and was very happy to find a central place with many great artists to share this passion and to look up to!

My name is Kay (hence my username), I am from germany and i am 26 years old.

I'm fairly new to pixel art, so my skills are heavily in development. I hope my time here with you guys will change that! :)

I'm excited!

I'm not sure if I ever introduced myself?

My name is Sarah! (Boev, Mal or Sarahboev works fine too!) I got my start wayyyyy back when with Micro Heroes, moved to Dolls and then just started making my own stuff.

I was always kinda "eh" about posting on PJ but i've been much more comfortable doing so lately.

Besides that, I went to school for game design and favour 2D stuff but occasionally do 3D. If you wanna see more of my work here's my general portfolio.

Hello, I'm back after...uh, FIVE YEARS, DANG! In celebration, I made a new version of an old pixel from ... oh my... 2011



I've improved uh... a little. Truth be told I haven't been pixeling much at all. But I'm BACK so expect me in the WIP forum soon. pumpkins

Hi, names Squali, and I love to make pixel art.

Hi, i`m Kyrill.
Love pixel art animation and started to learn it recently because i`d like to
create "lovecraftion" 2d game in pixel style.
Going to improve my art skills here and learn smth new.

Here are some stuff i already drawn :)

@PC PIXEL; Welcome to PJ! If you want to learn about pixel art, you're on the right place. Our community is very friendly and loves to help. Start with some project here in the forum, and our members will step with tips and instructions. Or you can join an already open discussion on a similar topic.

Hi all,

my name is Patrick. I'm interested in many kinds of visual and auditory art, both analog and digital. I want to start learning how to become a pixel artist mainly for game development.
Being a programmer during the day, I have become accustomed to certain kinds of limitations that require workarounds to "make my art work" ;) Therefore I'm intrigued by the limitations of pixel art.
I know myself to give up visual arts too easily when I face a problem and don't have the experience to fix it. So at the same time, I hope that this community and the limitations in pixel art can help me to encourage myself to stick to my goal.

Hey everyone! I'm Jesse and I'm ADDICTED to pixel art. It's so amazing and colorful and peaceful, and I can't wait to learn more of it. Currently, I'm building a 3d game using 2D pixel art, and I just finished the bulk of programming the features in, so now comes the art, which I need practice with. Anyway, thanks for having me
