Weekly Challenge: April Fools Gallery 2019
Top Pixel Art - April 2019 (#9)
Stuff like this keeps pixel joint exciting after so many years. Cool concept! Fun to read the breakdown and look at afterwards.
As much as the clouds have an unfinished look, I really like them. I'm always impressed when someone can come up with a new way to do something.
Well this completely melted my soul <3
In the early days of my time on PJ, your work was a big source of inspiration for me. I remember seeing this piece and wishing that one day I'd be able to make foliage as diverse and full of character. Funny enough this piece was unintentionally inspired by those tiles, and now that I look at it I can see where the influence came from. These tiles were a further step in defining my direction, abandoning AA much more frequently, and further pushing textural directions.
I always appreciated the crunchy nature of this piece, and the dirt here influenced my dirt coloring and textures moving forward.
Of course when you broke the pixel art internet with these tiles, I wanted to push my work much farther. The fluidity of them and the simplicity of the shapes and texture was so clean and perfect. From that point on I challenged myself to simplify my textures, and show light and depth in my work in a new way.
In a lot of ways I owe many stylistic elements to being inspired by your work, and it fills my heart to see such a thoughtful combination of both of our work into one piece. I'd be lying if I didn't say this caused my to tear up just a little, thank you so much. Thank you for being a part of what makes our little pixel world so incredibly special.
very pleasing to look at =))) lightning and ambience were very well put together in this.. The only thing I can wish for are some cirrus clouds on the background
Amazing work! A fantastic selection of colors. Almost surreal... 
This whole thread is the most heart warming thing ;)
