@vengeance:
that reminds me, I used to find free pixel bases on DA that the artists allow others to dress up
I cant remember how many I did, or if I only did one or two. I should find some of those for the hangout thread :D
Rules!
Don't pick up a pencil tool before reading these! They're important in respecting each other and artists in general.

✏ This thread is for PIXEL art ONLY. And chitchats. Let's learn together!
✏ Experienced pixel artists are welcome and encouraged to blow us out of the waters with their skills! Become a point of inspiration for our grasshoppers. Perhaps our simplicity might inspire you as well?
✏ Do not use ANY pixels within this thread without permission from the person who made it. All pixels in these main posts will also be links to the artists, whether internal or external.
✏ Obviously, do not claim anything as your own if you did not make it. If your pixel art is a recolor, please state that so you are not taking full credit from the original artist.
✏ Posting your pixels in this thread means that you are, by default, allowing me to use them ONLY within the thread (for the main posts). Gotta show you guys off, right? Of course, you have every right to request I don't post your pixels up in the spotlight and I will gladly oblige.
✏ Feel free to give CONSTRUCTIVE criticism/critiques to the artists in this thread--we are here to learn together! If you don't want to receive criticism, please specify it when you post something. Just a simple "no crits pls" and others must oblige.
✏ Any bases or recolors that I post may have individual rules as to when and how to use them, so PLEASE read those before using! This is to respect the artists who made them and what they had requested for the free use of their work.
✏ I can add bases and recolors that YOU have made if you wish! If that becomes a thing, I'll make a special little spot for them :D
✏ If you're using tutorials that have worked for you, share with the class? Not required but I'm sure we'd all be inspired to see!
✏ DO NOT get a butt ache if your pixels don't look as good as the next person's. Everyone learns at a different pace, but it doesn't mean we can't all reach the same goals!
✏ No Pokemon sprites! They're very cute, but to accept them here would contradict the other rules about obtaining permission.
✏ Suggestions and Feedback for the thread is very much welcome! Feel free to PM me with any concerns as well. I might not always log on every day, but I will respond asap.

✏ You are NOT required to pixel anything in this thread. Feel free to simply hang out with us c:

Update: Jolly is currently lagging due to life being.. life-like. I encourage you guys to keep on pixeling! Even if there are delays and the host is slightly out of order for the time being. There is intention to bring this thread back to life to accomplish its original goal once time is back on my side! I will let you all know. Thanks for hanging around and keeping this place moving in my absence <33


image made on Picrew, click to make your own!

Have you ever considered picking up pixel art? Tried it, lost motivation, but still want to get back into it? Or perhaps you've already developed your pixelling skills and would like to join in some fun activities anyway! This thread's main goal is to wake up our inspiration and help each other become more comfortable in the art of pixels.

Come, share your experiences, and make pixels together! Off topic chats are also welcome.

By the way, I am also not a pixel artist, so I'll be learning alongside everyone. My personal goal is to create a useful tileset for myself in RPG maker. It'll be fun, so why not?



Biweekly pixel demands:
Next demand 2-14-20


BOWS
completed pixels will be posted here with credit linked



Previous theme




Bonus

Valentines Day themes!


Drop a suggestion for what future themes should be! If I get enough ideas down, I can RNG them :D


Ultimate Optional Goals!
These are some bigger projects that might be inspiring to work towards. You may treat them as assignments or you don't have to do them at all--its all in good fun!

Create a pixel room for your avi/oc!
Create a pixel shop to sell your creations or commission something!
Create tilesets for a game/RPG maker/other use!

I made cake pops before but I had them saved on tinypic, which is dead now. so I dunno if I have them anymore

@llama:
Yes! and like a monthly or biweekly object to have everyone pixel.
I dont tend to have a lot of time for drawing with my college, but I'd do my best to keep up xD
