Hello everyone!!! I've started a new community today and I hope you check it out and join _
Pixelart Community
You can only post your original work! Other forms of Pixelart are welcome- for example- perler beads, but only make original creations, you can't use other artists' art for reference. Voxel art and similar styles are allowed, I hope there is will be another community for it eventually.
If you use a filter to autopixelate your photos or art, you still have to do additional drawing on top, at very least to clean up rogue pixels.
You can post about pixelart programs and tutorials on how to use them.
I'll try posting at least one pixelart weekly, feel free to request tutorials. If you're impatient you can check out couple of my (commissioned) tutorials that I wrote:
Experimenting with Colors
Pixel art Tools and Techniques
The reward pool will be the post's full payout number paid in Hive. I've seen others do it this way and it's neat.
Here are some Pixelart programs (free and paid)- this isn't a definitive list, there are many more programs you can choose from.
Aseprite ( $15, Free limited trial)
Gimp (free)
Graphics Gale (free)
Graphx (free)
Krita (free)
Lospec Pixel editor (free)
MSPaint (free)
Paint.net (free)
Piskel (free)
Photoshop ($10/month, Free 30-day trial)
Pixilart (free)
Pyxeledit ($10, Free older version)
I personally prefer Aseprite and Photoshop
I'm almost never strict, but I don't tolerate any art theft. :)
The art in this post was made by me.
Last but not least I'm working on a Pixelart prompt list for August (like Inktober), feel free to pitch some theme ideas ;)
