Wow... I think this is the only pixel site that has right out rejected my pieces. Very disappointed since I joined this site to get away from drama that Deviantart has. I was also told about PJ from a few of my friends that this was one of the best pixel art sites out there. But now that I realize that even Pixel Art is not been accepted because they "THINK" its not pixel art. I am sorry to tell you that all of my PIXEL ARTWORK, is done by each and every pixel. I have been doing pixel work since middle school (2000) if not earlier than that. But if people cant recognize that, then I will find some other site that has real humans look at the work... not some robots.
~No thank you... PJ.

| That's because PJ has standards not bias. PJ doesn't allow (auto) scaled down images, esp. without even an attempt at color/palette control. I can't tell for sure if the mushroom was scaled (unlike the obvious bicubic artefacts on the sailboat) or if you just employed smoothing tools etc. but that is also not allowed at PJ. So, no...the final pixels were not placed by your hand. |
