Yes, that's the whole charm. You need to replace the file under "Your Artwork:". The preview image can be left as is. The only thing you need to remember is that if you edited your file, you also have to change the name of it before uploading (like adding 2). If you don't, the site will not recognise it is a new file, and will not replace the file at all.

Same problems here. Clean the palette (you really only need max 8 colours in this sprite), and get rid of the 2x zoom, and it will be accepted.

I'm not sure what CrissyPink888 is referring to, but what I see here is a good example of pixel art. There are only two tiny problems with it:

1) It is pre-zoomed x2. We do accept only art in 1:1 scale (we use -/+ under each artwork to zoom but first we need it in the original resolution). 
 
2) The palette is all over the place. You have 30 individual colours https://www.linneart.com/pj/?input=https%3A%2F%2Fpixeljoint.com%2Fpixelart%2F157268.htm
 
From what I see, you only need 8 (including the transparent background) and it will look exactly the same, or even less if you want to reach a colour recycle mastery. All the almost indistinguishable colours need to ne unified.
 
 
If you update the file addressing those minor issues it will be gladly accepted in the gallery.

The palette limit is 24 in this challenge. Please fix this on monday, or we will have to remove it from the poll. You currently have 55 colours.

This is good but you have to delete the background. It is a sprite challenge and the background should be fully transparent. I will accept it, but please fix that as soon as possible, otherwise I will have to remove it from the challenge.

You are allowed to have the background on the preview.

Ultra low res sprites are hard and this one is pretty darn good!

Hello. This is a great pixel art, but you have checked the box of Weekly Challenge. This is not a weekly challenge piece. You can re-upload it again without adding it to a challenge, and it will be accepted right away, or wait one week after the challenge is over and then this submission will get through.

Hello. I think there is something wrong with the file. The colour count is 272 and the characters look like compressed by some uneven resize, with artifacts (for example outlines reduced to few singular pixels). Is there anyway you can fix this? We cannot accept it in the gallery at this state.

We are greedy of your pixels

But also we are constantly trying to hijack you to participate in collabs and challenges

So far, if my criterion was your palette usage, this palette would be my winner (at least from those you already used).

Hello, please upload artworks without any zoom.

Hello, please upload only in 1:1 scale.

You can just replace the file, by clicking the pen icon under your artwork. Just remember, that PJ will not recognize the change of the file if both, the old one and the new one have the same name. Rename it before otherwise it will stay the same.

gawrone @ 4/29/2026 23:48 commented on hand study

Yup. Some things are just too good. I could just divide it into small squares and each one of them would be aesthetically pleasing to me. 

My advice to the viewers: just zoom in, enjoy each tiny detail and feel good about how far the art of pixel went at this point, and how skilled one pixel artist can be, instead of feeling bad about yourself not practicing enough lately

I can wait ;) I actually prefer to wait and have this art in the gallery instead of not letting it in

Yup. Perfect! Thank you for quick update.

Hey. You have 17 colours. Please reduce one asap ;) I'm accepting it anyway.

The thing is that I see just many strays all over. I believe this is easy to clean, so I'm accepting it conditionally. Please index the palette to have 32 or less and replace the file on this submission on monday. If you can't make it, I will have to delete it, to make the challenge fair for others. If you have trouble replacing the file, let us know and we will help.

Hello. We do not accept pre-zoomed pieces. Please upload in 1:1. Besides that the piece is great. If you have trouble replacing the file, please let us know.

Hello there. I know that most people know, but it could be ok to link the Barry Godber's painting, to secure yourself from someone calling it not original work.



user
gawrone @ 4/27/2026 01:14 commented on Skull

Hello. Based on your previous work I feel like I could ask you to put some more effort in this piece. It looks alright where it is, but could use some polish. The shading is the thing I'm mostly concerned of (especially the forehead appears almost pillowish). The low contrast I can accept as a stylistic choice, and other than that it looks super clean pixelled.



user
gawrone @ 4/27/2026 01:10 commented on Corrupted Matron Bossroom
Hello. This piece is mindblowing. I love it. However, I'm here to inform you that by the PJ gallery standards, which are based in traditional pixel art, automated blur effects are not allowed. I think this is what caused the colour count blow up to 1253 https://www.linneart.com/pj/?input=https%3A%2F%2Fpixeljoint.com%2Fpixelart%2F163659.htm
 
While it is clear that the hand pixel work is spot on. If you are able to upload a version without that blur halo effect, than we would be honoured to have it here. But if this is something you are not feeling ok doing, than I will totally understand and value your decision. But also could not accept it to PJ then :(

Hey, this is a very good start. The palette is controleld nicely, the shape and light are painted well. We would like to ask you to add a final cleaning touches before we can accept it - especially some jaggy lines.

gawrone @ 4/23/2026 22:22 commented on Sleeping Lion Cubbie

The liking of it or not is not the concern. We like gradation too. It has many uses. But we do not use it on PJ. If you don't wish to change it, than we will have to delete the work, which would be a pity, because it is very good.

You might want to check the rules again https://pixeljoint.com/pixels/submit_icons.asp. The rule 5 to be precise.
