          | I am new here, and was just wondering what about my art makes it not pixle art. 
 
  
 
  
 
  
 If it's not, then thats fine, I am just curious what I need to do differently to know what art is and isn't going to qualify.
 
 I used Paint.Net, didn't apply any effects, and used only the paint brush (for filling large areas) and pencil tools. Is the paint.net paint brush doing something that would disqualify it?
 
 Thanks :)

          | I don't know your program but if you did use the pencil to pixel then your settings must be whacked. Use my siggy links to check your pieces, the 3rd one is: 
 | Color count | 3230 863 opaque, 1 trans, 2366 partially trans.
 |  
| Dimensions | 427x427 |  
| Aspect ratio | 1:1 |  
| Animated | no | 
 I know you didn't hand pick 3230 colors.
 
 I suspect your pencil has a blur setting or something. You might have scaled the art too, that's not good. So...it might have been pixelart but you did something to ruin the output and so can't be added to the gallery cuz as they are they are not pixelart.

          | They're quite big too, not sure they would make good PA at this size. I like the top one. Please fix and resubmit!

          | Ok, so smaller scale projects, no anti-aliased brush, and if a section is resized, redraw it. Thanks for letting me know :)
