Hello everyone,
my true name is LaMonica, but because of slamball I consider myself as Garrett!
I'm an Italian want-to-be-professional pixel artist, and I consider this forum as a way to show me off a bit, in order to gain a considerable amount of fame and gain some extra bucks...
Hope to improve my skills and my artistic pixel taste thanks to you guys!

I merely missed this post!
Hi all, I'm new to this forum, and like Garret, I'm from Italy too.
I'm working as a web developer and graphician, used to work with GIMP and Inkscape. Finally I found the time to step into pixel art (well, it was several years ago when I was using DPaint on my beloved Amiga500/600 :( so I don't count it)

My name is Xxypher, I go to many websites, so maybe I might know someone from here.
I am a beginner pixel artist, but I am not bad. I used to rip sprites from gameboy games, but that is way back when.
But yeah... I make video games, and my current project is a big'gen.
The project is a topdown styled RTS with regular point and click gameplay. And I am gearing it towards C&C3 styled as well.

I hope to have much fun here.

Oops sorry.

I am more used to other forums, so I get mixed up at first when I join special forums like these.

Hello everyone
I'm Annet, a Dutch girl.
I play soccer and like to design things/being creative.
I've been on this forum before, but that's about a year or 2 ago, so is my pixelling.
I would love to get started again, maybe I'll join a challenge or something.
I am back into the digital art because I signed up for my next school (high school) and want to go study Communication Multimedia Design.

Hey folks!  My name is Chungel, I'm almost 15 (July), and I am a complete nub to pixel art.  I seriously haven't pixeled a single thing in my life.  After my friend referred me to an image made by eBoy, I did a little research and found out it was called pixel art, and that eBoy's art was something called isometric.  Wanting to learn how to make such awesome images, I ended up here, as well as Pixelation (same username).  

Er... A little about myself: I'm a Minnesotan, I'm a band geek, and... I enjoy watching movies.

Hopefully I'll learn a lot here, and maybe make a few friends too.  :)

Hello PixelJoint.

I'm Andy. as what some would call an alpha geek i tend to dabble in most things related to technology; one of which happens to be pixelling. i'm learning the art slowly but surely, so expect to see me lurking around a bit.

i also program in Game Maker and am active over at the GMG and a little at TIGsource. i am known to perform various shenanigans and/or emit epic waves of fail.

anyway, glad to be here and such.

Hello. The Riddler is in your midsts.

I am from nowhere, but I have been everywhere. I have no age, yet I am as old as time itself. I'm interested in Riddles.

All riddles aside, I'm a fan of pixel art, and I absolutely LOVE some of the work I've seen on here. They are incredible. I hope to share some of my stuff with you in the future.

I'm studying in school the final year, and also I'm studying in art school (yeah, I want become an artist).
I love art, anime, power metal and j-rock, Devil May Cry&Final Fantasy 7, dogs, Japan and Germany.

Hey guys, I'm Mr. Gimmick. I design sprites, character portraits, backgrounds, and characters for NES games. MS paint is my favorite artists tool :), although I also enjoy traditional art such as drawing, painting, and sculpting. Looking forward to submitting some of my work, and seeing some of the work that other artists have done!
 
Right now I'm working on 4 game projects for some homebrew NES Developers. My main projects right now are a port of frogger, a multiplayer space shooter called intergalactic Gladiators (my avatar is one of the character portraits), and a game based off of the movie Hellraiser. I'm also learning to code a bit myself, and am working on a game called PUNCHO, a 2d platformer.
 
BTW if there are any NES fans here I highly reccomend you join www.Nintendoage.com
 
BTW sorry to the mods for posting in the wrong thread before ... :(

An intruduction thread! ha, dident notice it intill now, and have already been viewing PJ for about a month now. Better to be late then never come.

Im Claes Eriksson from Sweden 21 years old. Just finished my art deiploma in fine arts painting in Singapore, and am now still stationed there. Planing to continue studying in Sweden next year in computre grafics and design, as that is what my greater intrests is, that I also realiced after my two years here.

I have always love old games, and have never really been able to show the same love to new games, as I did to the old pixel grafics ones... Did not know about the vast pixelart comunity that existed, intill i joined up with two programers from danmark to creat a pixelstyle game, and I thought I should give pixelart a shoot. They showed me PJ and i was STUNED! never thought that I would meet so many like minded pepole on one place. Now I am stuck here :) and happy to be so.

Otherwise, I am now a slowly practicing artist in Singapore, have done a few exibitions and right now working on a Workshop for the Singapore Biernale.

Hope learn from this comunity and also add things on my own that can help and inspire others! cheers to all, and a big Swedish: Hej!

Also, sorry for the butchering of the English language, I just cant help it :/

And this is me, a sexy bastard as always!

I'm working on my own 2D orpg right now, and 2D graphics is a big part of it. So, I'm learnign and getting better at GFX. I figured this place would help me learn and I'd be awesome if I could develop pixel art skills

Howdy, people.

Don Quixote here. Aspiring pixel artist, writer, poet, musician...generally anything of no merit beyond being pretty to see/hear. I'm also an anarchist! Happened across this place while traversing the internet looking for some neat pixel art sites and decided here looked pretty neat indeed. And so, hello hello.

(Oh, and I nearly forgot; I'm somewhat in the works of creating graphics for some games a friend of mine may be making. It's sort of a vague, impromptu thing but I'll be working on pixel art at least. Likely retro-style so not very complex stuff. Might post a bit around here for critique.)
